Fisheye Explorer

The activity of taking pictures has not only evolved into a social activity, but also in terms of technology and devices used, as well as methods to freeze a moment in time. With the right device, you can now capture panoramic and 360 angle images for full perspective. You might need specialized applications to view such images, with Fisheye Explorer being a suitable example in this regard.

With a simple interface that greets you, fitted only with an upper toolbar, side panel used for browsing through files you add and a blank canvas used to split the image into different angles, accommodation is not something to worry about.

You can load images under several popular formats such as BMP, PCX, TGA, GIF, TIF, XBM, PBM, JPG and PNG, be them plain or panoramic, but a full experience is delivered if they are panoramic. By default, the canvas is split into four sections, each providing a different angle of the image, as well as the original.

Several more are at your disposal, with different panels. The neat advantage is that you can use your mouse to rotate images, thus providing an enhanced experience, making you feel like you're actually in the picture.

There are no editing utilities so any image you insert remains intact, regardless of how you take advantage of features. The application lets you capture the canvas, to emphasize different areas, which can be saved under different formats.

Last but not least, documentation gives you the possibility to go online to various sources to garb or view different panoramic images. For exporting, you can configure quality settings of the output, with supported formats mentioned above.

All things considered, we can safely state that Fisheye Explorer is a handy utility which lets you fully enjoy panoramic images. Navigation is a neat advantage, but it's not as smooth as you'd expect. Overlooking this minor issue lets you load various image files, apply different view types and save custom displays, making it worth a try.
