What features should we add to Photosynth?
We've got our backlog list of things that we know will make Photosynth better, but I'm sure we're only seeing some of the opportunities here. What would make Photosynth drmatically more useful and fun for YOU?

Inappropriate?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.

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. -
Inappropriate?Photosynth doesn't line up my pictures accuratly It would be better to be able to manipulate the matching phase or have the option to rearrange the pics to a more accurate position. Is this possible to do?
-
Inappropriate?OK, here's a couple of easy ones:
When a logged in user views his or her own synths it should not update the view count.
or
There should be some notification when a comment is left on a synth—e-mail, an icon, or something.

Inappropriate?I agree make sure the stuff posted is synthy- there is a lot of non synthy stuff on there- and its not flicker or photo bucket- this is photosynth- something that took a lot of work to develop- and is the coolest thing I have seen in a long time!
I’m geeky

Inappropriate?don't require a separate special install for the viewer. Use flash or silverilght if you can.
I'll probably create some nice synths but my non-computer geeks friends will just get confused trying to access it. -
bbilbro - there _is_ now a Silverlight version - works on Mac and Linux!

Inappropriate?How adding rssfeed nice start have.

Inappropriate?I did a few photosynths this weekend at a PGA tournament. I posted a link below to one of them. There are a few things that I think would make this better.
1: I'd love to be able to pick the starting view point. It seems it wants to start with the widest photo, which isn't always the best frame. The opening photo is so important to making a good first impression. It alows you to pick the thumbnail, why not allow it to pick the starting frame?
2. I love how you can take people from really wide shots to tight close ups. The synther kicked out a few of my super tight photos from the stands of people with nice expressions and emotion cheering. I know where those photos should go. It would be great to have the option to manually place photos the synther kicked back.
3. Thanks for the new software. This has a lot of possibilities.

Inappropriate?It would be nice if we could REPLACE a synth after adding or removing pictures to a previous synth.
Now, if we publish a synth with the same name, it will create a second synth (and we have to delete the first one). After a warning message (OK to replace or cancel?), it would replace the older synth, but KEEP tags, geotags, comments, number of views, and favourite links (stars).
And I allready ask for the LOG to have a different name for each different version (ie: name / date/hour/min)
Thank you
I’m confident

Inappropriate?Make it available on the Mac OS--a lot of home users and photographers are there. More ideas to come when I can actually try out Photosynth.
