Microsoft Photosynth

Microsoft PhotoSynth is a program that goes hand in hand with the homonymous service provided by the well-known software company. It comes with a clean interface that shouldn’t be difficult to handle by any users.

Basically, the program can not only upload the images to the website, but it can edit them as well. Photosynth transforms regular digital photos from your collection into three-dimensional pictures. It can create 360-degree panoramic images.

The program analyzes each photograph for similarities and uses the data to build a model of the place the photos were taken, recreates the environment and uses it as a canvas on which to display the images.

Photo rights can be assigned as well for each image. If you add images that have no common points, these are loaded independently from each other.

Thus, the program plays a double role of the viewer for downloading and navigating these visual spaces and a tool for creating them in the first place.

In order to create a “synth”, you must simply add the pictures from the directories on the computer. You must add a name and select a thumbnail image, fill in several tags to make finding the images easier and write a description. You may have the picture viewable by anyone on the website or only by those who have a direct link.

Microsoft PhotoSynth is a nice tool that can come in handy especially if you are passionate about photography. Inexperienced individuals should find this tool easy to handle, thanks to its overall simplicity.
