Influence of the resize on synths
Does the resizing of an image interfere with the focal info stored in exif file ? In other words is it possible to simply resize the image and leaving the focal in the exif unmodified ?

Inappropriate?Resizing should be completely fine. If you crop the imge you are effectively increasing the focal length. (I.e. digital zoom). If the crop is off-center, then you're doing what a pan-tilt lens does.
Either way, give it a try and let us know how it goes!
I’m excited

Inappropriate?Thanks.
One more question : all pictures are resized when displayed in the synths (always 512 pixels height). When does this resize occure : before the feature detection or after ?. -
Inappropriate?In the viewer you can zoom in using the scroll wheel on your mouse, the +/- icons, or the - and = keys. You should be able to get to the original level of detail of the photos. As for when feature detection happens, we've put a lot of effort into getting the matching to work as well as possible in as many cases as we can. Exactly how this image processing happens is some magic that we hope you don't need to worry about.
If you are considering downsampling your images before synthing to save upload time, you could try that and it should still work fine, but if you zoom in, you won't get the same level of detail.
Give it a try and let us know how it works for you.
I’m interested to see what you find.

Inappropriate?Cabsil, you might also (if you haven't already) want to try having your synth fill the browser window by using the icon in the lower right corner of the synth or using the 'F' key. In the current version of the viewer, you should toggle to grid view momentarily and back again to return to the default distance from the photo for your viewer's new screen size using the upper left icon or the '~' key.
If you want to get closer to true fullscreen, the F11 key is used in both Internet Explorer and Firefox to tuck away the browser controls until you bump the top edge of the screen. Internet Explorer does this a little better and more reliably. Sometimes in Firefox you will have to go to the View menu and choose the last thing on the list which should be 'Full Screen'.
Also, just remember that keyboard commands only work when the viewer is in focus (that is to say, the viewer knows that the keyboard is talking to it instead of some other part of the webpage, browser, or your desktop). It usually notices when you hover over it, but to make sure you can always make sure by clicking somewhere inside the viewer or testing your mousewheel to see if it's zooming is being detected.
I have a way of making simple things long and complicated sounding, so here's all I was really trying to say: "When I first load up a synth's page, I use a simple three key sequence to begin viewing fullscreen at a proportionally correct distance from the photo and a one time use of the F11 key for the first synth of the day. The sequence looks like this: 'F, ~, ~' (with the optional 'F11')."
I’m sharing the love.
