Insight
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Insight is used for LUNA Commons and is also Luna Imaging’s solution for collection development. Insight is designed specifically for finding and organizing images, and includes a “Workspace” to view, annotate, and create zoomed-in details. The Insight browser allows the user to set how large the thumbnails are and how many search results appear on each screen. A sidebar displays facets to filter search results by. After adding images to a Media Group, users can edit the group, add external content, or convert the Media Group to an Insight slideshow or a PowerPoint presentation. Media Groups and slideshows can be private, password protected, or public. Any page, image, or slideshow in Insight can be linked to or embedded as a widget. Here's a widget with a small Media Group:
