Photoscan Professional "Artist" Edition

[Heinrich]

a 'middle ground' version that does away with the special needs of aerial photogrammetry would be very useful indeed!

I am in total agreement with this as well and had planned to suggest the exact same thing (until I saw this thread).  For usage in the creative/vfx industries most of the "Pro" features are not something we need and the $3500 price tag is just too high.  This is why a lot of people end up with the Standard version even though we would be willing to pay more for the features we actually do need.

I would really like a version such as this too    !

[chadfx]

+1 absolutely

I think a lot of us are trying to 'make do' with the standard edition, but would happily pay a reasonable premium for these extra features that would bridge the gap between the Pro version. Marcel's description of the three key features and example pricing seem right on the mark.

Thanks, -Chad

- Optimize Alignment
- phyton scripting
- markers (for automatically scaling and orienting a model)

+1 to all three features

[Mfranquelo]

+1 plus a noise reduction algorithm 
Bilateral gaussian, local statistics, median or Lo minimization any of those would be amazing!

Cheers,
Manuel.

I would purchase a version priced mid-way between the Standard version and Pro version which had:
- optimization
- markers
- Python scripting

[nahtoe]

+1 for python, markers and optimization

[Exhale]

Python scripting is a must for me....

It appears quite a few users would like to purchase this proposed alternative version, with a relative consensus on features...Siggraph is coming up soon, good time for an announcement?  ;-)

Yes, That's a pity :/  I hope Agisoft will take an action soon..

[ThomasVD]

+2 markers (for scaling / orientation / manual alignment)
+1 denoising feature

+5 YES!! Artist Edition sounds perfect!

...and after more than a month of suggestion...? an official answer will be really apreciated from the Agisoft stuff...
thanks in advance
