Just thought I'd post an update on my current pano software. I started using AutoPano Pro the beginning of this year because I had a pano that CS4's Photomerge would not assemble. It was not a particularly difficult pano, but for whatever reason CS4/Photomerge did not like it. I downloaded the trial (full version with watermark) and ran the 4 images through APP in auto mode. To say I was impressed is an understatement -- the pano assembled flawlessly in just a few minutes, then rendered beautifully after a few more minutes.
Since then, I have upgraded to AP Giga, as it is supposed to run faster than APP. However, since they released APG, a newer version of APP has been released, so depending on your uses APP may be good enough. For me, I'm not sure APG is worth the extra $100 for its added features... Anyway, if you like to do panos, I recommend you demo APP or APG.

PS: We will be demoing this software at our Oregon workshop: http://forum.getdpi.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9414
