Here are some key features of "Panorado":

· Panorado is comfortable and very much "mouse-aware".
· It provides two different mouse modes for panning around the picture.

· Soft zooming and soft panning are new Version 2.5 features providing smoother movements on screen.
· Panorado specially supports large pictures and panoramic pictures.
