I have a client who is affiliated with a local legion and specializes in restoring military regiment photos. He wants me to create a website where users can hover over each person in the photo, causing their outline to glow while displaying a tool tip with their name or linking to more details further down the page.
I've previously used image mapping via poly mapping on a website like www.image-maps.com, which would require outlining each person in the photo individually. While I am willing to do this, I wonder if it might be easier to achieve using Photoshop to create a map where hovering over a person triggers a glow effect on the corresponding area of the image.
My research has led me to examples like a US map that showcases similar behavior:
However, I'm unsure how to adapt these examples into a custom solution for my specific project rather than sticking to a plain US map demonstration.
If anyone has recommendations or suggestions on the best approach to save time and effort, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!
