What PanoramaStudio is
PanoramaStudio stitches photos into panoramas and provides tools for editing, post-processing and exporting the results. Exports can be high-resolution images, interactive panoramas or web virtual tours. Both editions support stitching from two images through 2,000 or more, gigapixel panoramas and full-spherical 360° × 180° panoramas. The Standard edition creates panoramas from any number of images and supports interactive HTML5 panoramas and virtual tours. The Pro edition adds HDR panoramas and Exposure Fusion, fisheye support, automatic white balance, viewpoint correction, 10 additional projection types and a Grid Assistant. Listed image imports include JPG, DNG, TIFF, BigTIFF, JPEG-XL, PSD, PSB, WEBP, BMP and PNG, as well as RAW files from more than 1,270 camera models. Virtual tours can link panoramas and include info hotspots, audio, a compass, maps and links. An Adobe Lightroom Classic plugin supports direct image export to PanoramaStudio. The paid software starts at $59 with a 30-day trial; the fully functional trial adds a watermark to finished panoramas. Licenses are indefinite for their major version, with no subscription or expiration date.
