Manual stitching and preview feature
There is one thing wrong with photosynth, a big thing. The program is AMAZING! But, sometimes it doesn't match the pictures correctly. I was wondering if there were any plans to add a manual 'fixing' feature.
What would happen is:
1. You would add the images and click synth
2. The program would reconstruct the scene and match the images
3. After it has made the synth, BEFORE UPLOADING, it would show it to you, and you would be able to fix it if there is something wrong, like a photo that wasn't matched correctly.
4. You fix it, and send it to the server

We are planning a manual fixing feature, but forcing it to match places in photos that it doesn't think match is one of the trickier parts, and we aren't going to be tackling that part of the problem soon.
One way *you* can fix these problems is to take another photo of the area that should match from an in-between angle and zoom-level.
Note that fixing by adding photos is pretty fast. Even though it completely recomputes the synth, it doesn't re-upload photos it has already uploaded, so you don't need to wait around for minutes or hours as you did the first time.
Hope that helps...

Thanks for the reply. How does adding photos fix a problem? And how would you do it? -
Inappropriate?What David means is that you would make a brand new synth with all the photos that your original synth had, plus a few more to fill in the gaps where groups of photos didn't connect the first time.
The synther would then have to try again to match the new (bigger) batch of photos. This process would take as long as normal, however, since Photosynth is intelligent enough to recognise a photo thay you've already uploaded to your account on Photosynth.net before, only the new photos in this new synth will have to upload.
Hopefully that helps.

Thanks, that does help -
Inappropriate?How do you get photos to run in an order that are not the same subject ( different houses).

Could you rephrase that please, Dan? I'm not sure what you're asking.
