Luminous Landscape Reviews Realviz Stitcher 4.0
Luminous Landscape have just reviewed a powerful new stitching program for Windows and Mac platforms called Realviz Stitcher 4.0. The good news is that Michael Reichmann really likes it; the bad news is the $580 price-tag…
“I tried to learn to love PanoTools because the price is certainly right, but it never worked all that well for me. I like smooth and competent programs that are powerful and that work without hassle, and PanoTools just didn’t fit that bill. It seemed to me to be more of a hobbyist’s toy than a professional production tool. So I examined Stitcher 4.0, and discovered, much to my surprise, that it is as powerful and easy to use as was Powerstitch. I thought Powerstitch was expensive four years ago at $399. As the saying goes, there’s good news and there’s bad news. The good news is that while Stitcher 4.0 is available for both Mac and PC, and it really delivers the goods, at $580 the price is the bad news . I’ll have more to say about the subject of price before the end of this review.”

Stitcher is an interesting application, but it can't process fisheye images (IPIX patent restriction) and large files from full format DSLR's (see Realviz forum).
On the other side you can go with OpenSource Software like Hugin, PanoTools, Enblend and Autopano - costs 0.00$ and large user groups to ask for help or to participate on discussions. And the result is always a fullscreen Quicktime panorama like on [url=http://www.panoramas.dk]http://www.panoramas.dk[/url]
