While SPM is invaluable for editing 3D photos, it is not really a full editor with the range of plug-ins and adjustments of a good reasonably priced editor like Paintshop Pro or Gimp... To edit scans of 3D photos I have to switch back and forth between my photo editor and SPM to view in 3D, find defects, and then correct them. This is very time consuming as I have to save before switching. Since photo editors do not support 3D it would be a great time saver to have some SPM features inside a standard photo editor.
This could be accomplished by having the most valuable features of SPM as Photoshop plug-ins which are accepted by most every good photo editor. The most valuable features that I use are: Auto alignment, 3D display, and Auto Color Adjustment. The Easy alignment is also occasionally used for scans which SPM mangles in Auto alignment. To be useful these should support both 16bit/color and 64 bit code. The 3D display would be most useful if it could get around the lag time for invocation, but that might be impossible in a plug-in. Yes, I realize there is a way to invoke an external editor but that is cumbersome, slow, and will not work with my 16bit color images. 16bit color is needed to edit Kodachrome scans and other extremely contrasty or dark images. |

I have never used PhotoShop, nor do I plan to. |
