Panoman 3.0 Released

Late in the evening this past Friday, Bit-side announced the latest upgrade to their innovative application Panoman. In case you missed my review way back in January Panoman is an app that allows you to capture full 360° panoramic images with your S60 3rd camera. Pretty cool actually!

Panoman 3.0 provides a host of new and unique features that really take this innovative app to the next level. Unfortunately upgrades aren’t free but the company does report that discounts are available for returning customers. Here’s a quick rundown of the highlights:

  • Improved Panoramic Capturing/Stitching - Panoman can now capture and stitch up to 12 frames at full resolution. This means that images can consist of up to 32 combined megapixels!
  • Exposure Correction - Automatic exposure repair for a more seamless image.
  • Perspective Correction - Panoman 3.0 employs an updated stitching mechanism that corrects seams between frames when active. The result is a much more fluid image.
  • Color Correction - Changes in light orientation can affect each frame of a panoramic image as you capture it. Panoman’s new color correction feature helps blend the frames better resulting in a more constant color from one frame to the next.
