Publishing Panoramas to Photosynth

Users of Microsoft Research's popular and free panoramic stitcher, Image Composite Editor, can upload their beautiful creations to Photosynth and share them with friends and enthusiasts worldwide. Here's an example:

Photosynth LOVES your high-resolution panoramas. Every last stitched pixel is uploaded, and through the power of Deep Zoom your viewers can smoothly zoom to the details whether you've got a 20 megapixel pano shot on a point-and-shoot, or a 10 gigapixel monster shot with your DSLR on the latest robotic head.

Even better, your glorious pixels wrap a full 360 degrees if that's what you shot, and even fill in above to capture that amazing ceiling you were looking at. Try doing that with a flat pano!

Sharing your Panoramas

Once your panorama has been uploaded to Photosynth.net, it will have its own page and all the normal sharing and embedding options you'd expect:

Want more eyeballs on your fantastic work? We regularly feature great new panos on the front page of photosynth.net, and when we do they usually get more than 10,000 views in short order. Additionally, if you've geotagged your pano it can appear on Bing Maps and if you associate it with a business it can be found via Bing's local search. Check out this example (click "Step Inside").

Privacy and Copyright

By default everything you publish is publically accessible on Photosynth.net, but there are simple controls for you to change this. Read all about it.

Cost

Photosynth is free, even for commercial use. Read more about it here.
