What Panoweaver is
Panoweaver is panorama stitching software that can also publish panoramic tours. It automatically detects fisheye regions, matches corresponding points, adjusts stitching parameters, and remaps and blends images. It supports spherical, cubic, cylindrical, gigapixel, and Little Planet panoramas, using inputs such as JPEG, PNG, BMP, TGA, TIFF, Camera RAW, and 16-bit images. Professional Edition supports batch stitching and HDR stitching for 300 groups of images. HDR processing combines 2–10 stops per group and can output JPEG, PNG, BMP, EXR, TIFF, and HDR files. Panoramas can be published as HTML5, Flash VR, or SWF content for viewing on PCs, mobile devices, and glasses. The interface supports English, Chinese, Japanese, French, German, Spanish, and Italian. Trial versions include all features but add a watermark to published panoramas. License purchases include free technical support and minor-version updates. Easypano says activation is anonymous and uses only the minimum data needed to verify a license. The listed starting price is $149.95 one-time.
