For the best results in Photoscan you need perfectly sharp photos. Checking hundreds or even thousands of photos for pixel level sharpness is no fun at all, so we made a utility called Pixelpeeper that turns this task from "mind numbingly boring" to "slightly annoying".
The program displays magnified crops for each image. You can quickly inspect, select and move images that are not up to quality (for example images with camera shake or misfocus). Multiple cropping modes are available, to show crops of both the center and corners of the image.
Pixelpeeper loads images in both 8-bit and 16-bit, and supports the following file formats:
- JPEG
- TIFF
- PNG
- PSD (files saved with compatibility mode only)
We found it to be a huge timesaver, so we decided to have it rewritten and release it as a free utility for the (always helpful) Photoscan community.
