Image Browser
First step of the workflow is the Add Images screen where you can use the Browser window to browse folders on your computer, to organize your image files, to view images in the File list pane, to sort them, and to select and add photos to the Picture Tray for using in creation of a panorama image.

Two Stitching Algorithms
At the second step of the workflow - Stitch screen - you select what stitching algorithm will be used - Vertical/Horizontal or Tiled/Multifocus

Vertical/Horisontal/360° panorama stitching
The program automatically detects if it can stitch Horizontal or Vertical Panorama. You can manually force program to make a 360° panorama.

Automatic ordering and stitching
When on the Stitch screen the program analyzes the selected group of photos, puts them in the correct order and calculates panorama in low resolution. Scale, Rotate and Skew image transformations can be used to reach best stitching result. You can set focal length for Lens distortion compensation. At Export stage the program renders high-resolution panorama image with manual or automatic cropping.

Manual Mode
In manual matching mode you can assemble a panorama manually: you can order pictures and stitch all subsequent image pairs by
placing special markers on the distinctive features in the two overlapping photos. The program prompts to switch to manual mode if it fails to match some photo pairs automatically.

Tiled/Multifocus panorama - NEW
This new mode allows to assemble panoramas from several rows of photos. New algorithm used in this mode can also automatically compensate the focal length (zoom level) difference between source photos. To enable this feature check the "Compensate lens distortion" option. The "High order aberration" option allows to generate better results at the expense of longer processing time.
In the Tiled/Multifocus mode you also can adjust final projection of the panorama using Elevation, Azimuth and Tilt controls or simply by dragging picture in the preview window. Output to Multiple Formats
You can save your panoramas in JPG, TIF, BMP, PNG, JPC, JP2 image file formats.

Printing
Program lets you print across multiple sheets of paper, supports banner paper and borderless printing and allows printing with overlap for easy assembling and seamless alignment of printed pages.
Technology
The program is based on latest mathematical technologies for image matching in 128-D features space. Fast matching procedure was tuned to maximize the probability of automatic panorama creation from any series of overlapping photos.
