PanoramaPlus Starter Edition

PanoramaPlus Started Edition (SE) is an ultra-simplistic software application designed to help you put together images into professional-looking panoramas. It does not include complicated options or configuration settings, making it accessible to all types of users, regardless of their previous experience with graphic processing tools.

The installation procedure takes a while to finish and it may be necessary to reboot the computer to finalize it. Just remember that, in order to get the free key for PanoramaPlus SE, you have to fill out information to create an account on the developer's website and confirm it via email.

The GUI is user-friendly, based on a single window with a plain and simple structure, where you can add image files to the list via the file browser or drag-and-drop support. It is possible to import as many pics as necessary. There are many formats supported, such as BMP, JPG and PNG.

You can re-arrange them in the list by dragging and dropping them, as well as ask the application to create the panorama with the click of a button. This process may take a while, depending on the number and size of pictures. It is possible to zoom in and out, as well as to rotate the panorama by 90 degrees left or right. If you are satisfied with the results, you can export the image to a file with the JPEG extension. There are no other notable options available here.

The tool takes a long time to complete a task. It runs on low CPU and RAM, so it shouldn't affect the computer's performance. However, it failed in several attempts to put together panoramas in our tests, due to the fact that it could not detect matching features for the selected photos. On top of that, it does not include advanced settings for more experienced users.
