The new Panorama Composer version 3

[Tom Gustavson]

We are proud to announce the release of the new Panorama Composer version 3.

The latest version features some brand new functionality that was not present in previous Beta versions, like QuickTime VR support and Vista compatibility.

New and improved features include:
- Export the resulting panorama into a QuickTime Virtual Reality movie;
- Three new cross-browser webpage viewers included:
* Java based PTViewer created by Helmut Dersch;
* Adobe Flash (former Macromedia Flash) viewer;
* QuickTime VR viewer.
- Managing/customizing stitching profiles experience is greatly improved;
- Manual focal length correction in case of an automatic failure added;
- Stitching engine memory usage was optimized and reduced; that allows you to create panoramas with very high resolution (real test—full 360 degrees panorama from 14 megapixel photos);
- A previously stitched panorama can be used in the project and thus saved as an HTML page or a standalone executable viewer;
- Web page saving option is made using template files that gives you easy design customization;
- Photo filenames are now displayed on the second wizard step to make image arranging easier;
- Microsoft Windows Vista compatibility.

You can download the fully functional 30 day evaluation version from the following URL:
