Serif PanoramaPlus
Serif PanoramaPlus enables you to create panoramas in three easy steps: import, edit, and export. Using "import" you can bring in movie frames as well as standard images, preview them, then stitch them automatically. Edit functions permit adjustment of the horizon line, autocropping and rotation.
You can dip in and out of Serif PhotoPlus, the vendor's image editor, for further modifications. The transparency option allows you to place the panorama against any background. Export can be high quality for print, or compact size for the web. There is a QuickTime VR option for 360° panoramas, and you can even save to PDF, a great format for printing.
Comment
PanoramaPlus is highly automated and can cope with component images that other stitchers find hard to handle. It comes from a long-established software company that has plenty of experience in the graphic arts.
The vendor provides a demo version which works well, but delivers reduced output quality until you complete the purchase.
