FirmTools Panorama Composer 3.0

Looking for a software tool to help you make panoramic images? Panorama Composer 3.0 is a brainlessly simple panorama builder that will help you make your first 360 degree pan (or flat panoramas) in no time. In fact, the tool is so simple, even an amateur photographer who just bought a digital camera can easily use it.
The main advantage of Panorama Composer 3.0 is its straightforward 100% visual Flash-based interface with real-time preview that makes creating panoramas just as easy as playing Lego's. Since the software uses a proprietary algorithm for stitching images, the overlap between images may be anywhere between two and fifty percents, with no stitches or other distortion visible. There is also a built-in image enhancing mechanism that get rids of glitches that may be present in the original images. Another handy perk is automatic lens type detection feature.
Since some panorama projects can be quite complicated and require several days of work, Panorama Composer 3.0 makes it possible to start new project and save the progress as necessary. Once finished, the project can be exported to JPEG, HTML or EXE format, making it possible to use these panoramas as virtual tours.
The program comes with a comprehensive, well-documented instructions manual. Best of all, it can be downloaded and tried absolutely free of charge.

Highlights :

Any Photos
You do not need any additional or special equipment except your digital camera. Panorama Composer™ can operate the hand-held photos taken without the tripod with ease. Please check some of the tips on shooting better photos for stitching.

Automatic Lens Type Detection
The program automatically detects your camera lens type and focal length used for shooting. In addition all perspective and focal distortions are calculated and corrected automatically during the panorama creation process. You can get an incredible result even with the photos overlap as low as 2% of an image area.

Load your images into the application;
