Product Description

    Strengths:    o Quality of finished images
    o Ease of use
    o Output to both IVR Zoom and QTVR 360 degree panoramic viewers

    Weaknesses:    Speed of stiching slightly slower than other comparible products but final results justified the wait

    Bottom Line:   
    Excellent product. When compared against other products the quality of finished panoramic images are first class. Especially impressed with the minimal ghosting which created a problem for other applications. Provision of hotspots would make the product perfect.

    Strengths:    -Terrific results
    -Simple to use
    -Penty of fine tuning options available

    I only wish I had photopaper long enough to print out my best panoramas on one sheet!

    Weaknesses:    -Takes a few minutes to stich together larger files.
    -Can only do a single row of photos

    Bottom Line:   
    Easy to set up and use panorama software creating terrific results. Simply tell it which photos and which order, identify camera or lense size and let the software do the rest.

    Strengths:    Works as advertised and does a good job even with the basic default settings. Has enough manual controls to fine-tune images if necessary, but I have not spent too much time learning these yet. Shareware is affordable, and you get free updates periodically.

    Weaknesses:    Will only stitch in one dimension in the current version. Not really a major problem. Can be a little slow, but it does appear to carry out a whale of a lot of image machinations to get a good stitch.

    Bottom Line:   
    Excellent photo-stitching program which I use for producing small-size garden panoramas and landscape enlargements. Can do near-miracles with poorly aligned images and has a host of fine-tuning options if you care to learn them.

    Strengths:    Very accurate. Allows for user fine tuning.

    Weaknesses:    Takes quite a long time even on a fast computer - but the results are worth it!

    Bottom Line:   
    This program is amazing. Having bought a digital camera some months before and tried several programs to make panoramas, I was amazed to find that the best one was freeware! I would recommend it it anyone.

    A sample of the panoramas created I ahve created can be seen at www.revent.org.uk

    Strengths:    Great job combining photos
    Does not seem to be limited by the size of the pictures nor the size of the output.

    I only tried the panorama feature and not the viewer.

    Weaknesses:    Shareware price seems kind of steep for a specialty product that will see limited use even for an avid photographer. Wish it cost $20 or so...

    Bottom Line:   
    This app is simply amazing. I don't know how it does it but it seems to stitch and combine pictures flawlessly every time!!! Kudos to the authors. The application is no longer freeware, it is shareware.
