Today there’s a wealth of packages of all shapes and sizes.  On my trip to China in 2008, I took a few sets of photos expecting to run through the paces.  The following example is some more fall foliage from Jiuzhaiguo.

But it’s really a far more exiting in a Google Maps Viewer form.

Created using Microsoft ICE a free panoramic stitcher, which seems to work well for a basic image stitch using only a single degree of rotation.  In the future I’ll have to experiment trying to stitch an image with multiple degrees of panning or to do one with a full 360 of panning.

To get around the inherent problems of viewing panoramic photos(which aren’t proportioned well for computer screens), the Google Maps Image Cutter seems invaluable in presenting them in a manner that’s familiar to web users.
