<p>New Stitching Product Enables Professional & Amateur Photographers to Create<br />
Superb Panoramas From Simple Photos in Just a Few Clicks</p>
<p>Sophia Antipolis, France (January 5, 2005) - REALVIZ, a leader in image<br />
processing software development, has announced the release of a brand new<br />
stitching product called Stitcher Express. REALVIZ Stitcher Express draws on<br />
the award-winning technology of Stitcher 4.0, already used by thousands of<br />
professional photographers, architects, multimedia and 3D artists worldwide,<br />
and offers an intuitive and complete solution, which enables both<br />
professional and amateur photographers to create superb panoramas from a<br />
series of simple photos in just a few clicks. REALVIZ Stitcher Express 1.0<br />
is now available in both English and French for Mac & Windows.</p>
<p>"REALVIZ Stitcher Express is a product, which has been on many peoples' wish<br />
list for some time now," explains Dominique Pouliquen, REALVIZ CEO. "With<br />
digital camera sales still on the increase, there are more and more people<br />
out there who fall into the 'amateur' category, yet who still demand a<br />
robust, high-quality product, able to deliver the kind of professional<br />
results, with multi-row capability up to full spherical panoramas, which the<br />
more main-stream photo-stitching products are unable to offer. At a lead-in<br />
price of $119 US (99 Euros), Stitcher Express is also affordable to all."</p>
<p>REALVIZ Stitcher Express is a simple and effective application with a clear<br />
and intuitive interface, compatible with all kinds of digital cameras. Based<br />
on a simple drag, drop and stitch principle, the software enables both<br />
professional and amateur photographers to create superb panoramas from a<br />
series of standard digital photos in just a few clicks. The software's<br />
smooth interoperability with Adobe Photoshop also means that users are able<br />
to edit and personalize their panoramas with ease. Stitcher Express is also<br />
fully compatible with QuickTime, for the creation of stunning interactive<br />
virtual visits, up to full spheres. With Stitcher Express, it is also<br />
possible to export panoramas in the format each individual requires.</p>
<p>Stitcher Express will be sold alone, or bundled with Adobe Photoshop<br />
Elements 3. The price for the bundle will be $ 190 US (160 Euros). Available<br />
from late January 2005.</p>
<p>The Stitcher Express Feature Set Includes:<br />
=B7 Semi-automatic stitching of photos, enabling the creation of<br />
panoramas up<br />
to 360=B0 x 180=B0 (complete spheres!)<br />
=B7 Automatic light equalization<br />
=B7 The possibility to remove moving objects from images (pedestrians,<br />
cars,<br />
or any other object moving between two shots)<br />
=B7 Automatic panorama alignment<br />
=B7 Choice of panorama format (cylindrical, spherical, snapshot)<br />
=B7 Automatic trimming of panoramas to an optimum size<br />
=B7 "Best Rendering" feature, enabling users to achieve the best-possible<br />
output from their original images<br />
=B7 Export to Adobe Photoshop (images and masks), enabling users to<br />
edit and<br />
personalize their panoramas with ease.<br />
=B7 Export to QuickTime VR (cylindrical or spherical), enabling users to<br />
create stunning interactive virtual visits, and interactively preview their<br />
projects.</p>
