Panorado JS: New viewer for HTML5 released!

Panorado Flyer 1.2: New 64-bit version!
Since the "Flyer" is implemented as a Windows Explorer extension, it runs, in a technical sense, within its process space. Thus, a 32-bit Explorer requires a 32-bit Flyer, and a 64-bit Explorer requires a 64-bit Flyer, which is available for free download by now.

Panorado 4.0: New geocoding feature retrieves location names!
Panorado's geocoding functions which so far were focussed on the Google Earth service have been extended by an option to insert location names automatically into an image, given that location coordinates are known. Panorado queries the GeoNames database for city, province, and country names of an image's location. This public database is available over the Internet; it is permanently updated.
 

Panorado Applet now supports spherical projection with unaligned horizon!
Generally, panoramic photographers take care to get the horizon exactly in the center of the image. But in case you couldn't achieve this or had to handle existing photographs, you had to use tricks like adding black space in order to get an acceptable spherical presentation. This applied to almost all viewers available.
The Panorado Applet v.2.2.1.26 now offers to define the distance between the horizon and the center of the image by a parameter, thus enabling asymmetric images to be presented without distortion.

Panorado 4.0: New Version!
Panorado now supports viewing of HDR images (High Dynamic Range) which get more and more important in professional imaging, with some extended viewing options. File formats: Radiance HDR and OpenEXR.
Numerous camera RAW formats are also supported now.
The Organizer has been redesigned, providing a collection pane for easy finding, selecting and arranging of images which can subsequently processed by an extended number of batch jobs (new: scaling, copying metadata).
The transformation tool has been revised. And there are lots of minor improvements.

Check your Google Earth installation!
We received some complaints that Google Earth is not accessible from Panorado (or Panorado Flyer), and found that this resulted from the way it was installed:
Please, log in as an administrator when you install Google Earth!
Otherwise, Google Earth can't register as a COM server, and it won't cooperate with Panorado.
 

Panorado Flyer 1.0.
Geo-coding is hip - since Google Earth and Google Maps are spreading really fast. Panorado Flyer is a small, yet very usefull tool which enables you to link image files to locations, using geographical coordinates. It's free! More...
 

ArtServe image archive uses Panorado applet.
The reorganisation of the huge art history image archive at the Australian National University in Canberra took several weeks, without many interruptions. The result was not only disk space freed, but also a better presentation of the many high-resolution photos from all over the world. The Panorado applet allows the visitor to zoom into every image and to pan the view.
