Summary: QTVR authoring studio still a best bet!
Review: An update is sorely missing but of course the next one will be OS X compatible - till then MAcOS 8,X and 9.X QTVR creators would be wise to buy a copy of QTVR-AS. This is one tool that makes it possible to combine a variety of non-aligned images into a workable object or panorama. This heightened degree of control over diverse input is very necessary when one starts building QTVRs for art type projects. When VRWORX fails to build an object or things just cannot be lined up correctly - Authoring studio will do the job and do it well!! Any time apple wants some user input on how to improve this product they can be contact me! i love it!

Summary: QuickTime VR Authoring Studio versus RealViz Stitcher
Review: Is RealViz Stitcher worth (the money against) Apple's QuickTime VR Authoring Studio's? The first tech support call you make to Apple will cost you ($). Yes, that is ($) if you want to ask anything other than an installation question. Also, the software "chokes" - Apple's tech support term - on any high resolution image. It is not useful for anyone wanting to make prints of panoramas. Apple told me when I called pre-sales that they offered 90 days tech support - normal in the industry. But I neglected to ask what does that 90 days cover. It only covers installation. Forget it if you have any other questions. QuickTime VR Authoring Studio also does not support the Nikon Editor version of .jpg. So if you have a Nikon digital camera, be prepared to convert everything to the archaic pict format for this software. Yes, it will accept a .tif or photoshop .jpg, but it's internal process converts to a pict and if you want any semblance of quality you will need to convert to pict first. Do yourself a favor and avoid this product.

Summary: Still the best VR tool!
Review: There are quite a number of pano stitchers out there, but nothing approaches the ease of use, elegance, options and results of QTVR AS. Typical Apple: simple to use, clean interface, and a quality product. Stitching is excellent and saving options plentiful. Don't think that QTVR AS is only good for panos, though -- it makes wonderful objects and can also create full walkthroughs, also with grace and simplicity. A wonderfully finished product, despit being just version 1.0.1, but there really is nothing that needs to be changed, so why have another version? Well, one drawback -- it's not been upgraded to run under MacOS X, other than in Classic. Great pity!
