if you open the synth again you can click the favorite star again to unfavorite it.

If you want to change your email addrsee that related with the Photosynth, you can try this:
1. https://accountservices.passport.net/
2. sign in with your accont
3. Customer Support-> Close Passport-> Change Email (the page of my shows in chinese,i could not get the page in english, so it may be those words)

Change with any other email addrsee, then, creat a new Photosynth account with your address.

Pay SPECIL attention:all your microsoft services will be related with the new email address.

A comment on the discussion "What features should we add to Photosynth?" in Microsoft Live Labs:

Hi there, GodSpeed55,

To view the point cloud you can either hold down the Ctrl key and let it go when you want to view the images again or if you don't want to always hold Ctrl, you can use the 'P' key to toggle through:

1) Photos + Point Cloud
2) Point Cloud only
3) Photos only

For the rest of the keyboard controls, take a look at the last pages of the Photography Guide available from the How To Get Synthy page at photosynth.net. – Nathanael Lawrence, on November 13, 2008 06:48

i dont no if im sending this message to the right spot but photosynth definately needs an option to turn of the images and leave the point cloud, because the sphinx looks like it would be really cool but the pictures get in the way and i cant hide them.

I'm a university professor in GIScience and would like to know how I can get access to the relative-height point cloud so that I can compare its accuracy against (1) a LIDAR model and (2) a related digital terrain model derived from stereo-photography.

Thanks

Seems OK now.

Of course this still only makes it viewable in Windows IE.

The Embed should allow cross browser and cross platform support. – Vagabum, on November 11, 2008 00:36

I noticed there is no fly through command in the current PDF docs, but I recall there being a point cloud fly through in one of the earlier Beta releases. What happened to that? – Vagabum, on November 10, 2008 21:54

It says that it was being worked on a month ago, but I'm a new user and am getting the same problem:


After that, I see the synth with no pictures:

By the way, I met all the requirements before I tried this out. – monkey820820, on November 10, 2008 16:38

Here's what I did to get it to work: Go to the windows start menu, and select Run. Type in "dxdiag" without the quotes. Select the "display" tab. All of my Direct X features were disabled, so I just enabled them, clicked the test buttons to make sure they worked, and viola! Photosynth!

I met all the requirements and still had trouble until I restarted my computer and everything worked well.

Thanks!

Jaisn, Gabriel Walsh suggested a couple of tools (click here to view them) that will let you embed a web page in Powerpoint.

Once you choose one of those options, browse to the synth that you want to embed and look in the address bar of your browser. Find the part that says "view.aspx" and change it to "embed.aspx", then copy the whole URL and paste it into the webpage embedder for Powerpoint.

Please understand that this will require you to be connected to the internet and will require whatever computer you show it on to have Photosynth installed ahead of time. It may even require the Powerpoint plugin that you used to embed the web page to be installed on the computer that you view it on, so you'll probably just want to bring your own laptop for your presentation and hope that you can connect to your client's network without any problems. It is absolutely critical that your client have a fast internet connection or your presentation will end up taking a turn for the worse rather than for the better.

As for embedding a synth on your blog, it is much easier. At the right hand side of every synth you will find several icons. The first one in the row should be two angle brackets. Click on the icon and a textbox will appear that contains the HTML code that you can copy and paste into your blog. Again, remember that showing the synth to someone else on their computer will require them to have Photosynth installed in order to view it.

I hope that helps. Get back to me if I was unclear. – Nathanael Lawrence, on November 08, 2008 05:31

That would be fantastic! I was surprised to find that I couldn't view all the images in the synth at one time. It would be really useful to have a full 3-D model, as well as the fly-through feature mentioned earlier. As long as all the images used to create it are mine, what are the obstacles to making this available? – ToStr1V, on November 08, 2008 00:43

Its impossible NOT to have it online at the moment :-/

I'm quite scared this things just going to turn into yet-another social photo sharing thing to be honest.
The potential for it to actualy be a tool that actual REAL work could benefit from I'm worried will be missed.
