Had you grown tired of clicking a thumbnail image from your album in your photo-sharing to get a bigger picture? Or tired of waiting for the slideshow to transition to display the next picture? Then wait for the newest in photo-editing technology. Wait and meet Photosynth, Microsoft Corp.'s newest Web tool which is designed to give viewers a much zippier way to view and share their photos.

How does it work? You have to download the program to your computer, works on Windows only, and then select the pictures that you want to be “stitched” together. The software crunches the files using the local computer's processing power, looking for pixels that are the same in each photo. Then, Photosynth stitches together the images into a panoramic scene. One catch though, when the photo is printed you’ll get a taped-together photo prints. It’s best viewed online since the result shows like a photo gallery and movie altogether.

Photosynth, which was due to launch late Wednesday, August 27, doesn't yet allow more than one person to add photos to a "synth," which means strangers can't easily pool photos of a certain place or event, as is commonly done using tags on sites like Yahoo Inc.'s Flickr.
