2.   To increase the image turning speed, move the Turning speed slider to the far left or far right.  To decrease the speed, move it to the center.

3.   To increase the image pitching speed , move the "Pitching speed" slider to the right.  To decrease the speed, move it to the left. When adjusting the pitching speed, its best to start close to the left.

4.   To increase the image rolling speed, move the "Rolling speed" slider to the right.  To decrease the speed, move it to the left. When adjusting rolling speed, it is best to start close to the left..

5.   To increase the image view width (how far it is zoomed out), move the "Zoom level" slider to the right.  To decrease the view width, move it to the left. Images usually look best if you set this close to the middle. Extremes can look pretty wild.

The turning speed, pitching speed and rolling speed can be set to randomly change speeds up to the chosen maximums by selecting or deselecting the neighboring Random check boxes. The panorama view window can be set to move around the screen or remain centered by selecting or deselecting the neighboring Moving check box.
