• Price: 300 . 75    • Company: Autodesk    • Pros:
Comprehensively featured, easy-touse panorama stitching tool
with efficient workflow for QuickTime VR, movie, web and print
output.    • Cons: Now under Autodesk ownership, this version
adds only a few genuinely new features over the RealViz-
developed version 5.7; pricey.   There are also tools for
setting up QuickTime VR interactive images, creating basic
timeline movies within an image, exporting panoramas in HTML
pages (or KML for GoogleEarth), and for linking multiple views
to create virtual tours. 2D panoramas can also be set up with
various projections for printing, up to very high resolutions
for posters and murals. However, all these were available in
version 5.7.  Genuinely new features include: access to graphics
cards for GPU hardware acceleration of rendering and previews;
the ability to set up authoring controls (such as playback start
and stop, and other constraints) within the main working window;
the ability to blend HDR images inside Stitche
