Congrats, Herb. I may check it out too. I would appreciate if you sometime can post paoramas made with this, preferably compared to sstitches done with Photovista.
They may blend differently. PTA blends by morphing (if you want it to). PhotoVista blends by making a "finger-like" assembly between the images. That's the reason why the "assemby-lines" are not visible - they are really "zig-zag lines". Also this is the reason why "floatating" objects or "half persons" may occur in the final image - showing legs of a moving person in one place and the torso in another.

Stitcher Express would have done it flawlessly. whenever i have buildings and straight lines, that is what i use. i just tried the new Panorama Factory 4.0 and bought it. it supports 16-bit TIFF files as input and does a good job of blending. 16-bit input is really important to me.
