Recommended Panorama Software

Hello everyone,

Here's an email I received today from an illustrator I know really well. I haven't tried it, but will immediately. So far I've found no software that makes the job of aligning verticals with a high degree of parallax easier. Just wanted to pass it along. . . Feel free to recommend anything you folks use and like.

"Well, it's not so often that I get SO excited about a new piece of software that I have to share it with everyone... but here goes.
I've been doing a bunch of large panoramas for a brochure I'm working on, and I was having to do a whole lot of seaming and tweaking in some of the "standard" software. I was finding this frustrating, so went looking around, and I found this AWESOME piece of software called Hugin.

You know when you seam a bunch of photos in -an industry standard program that shall not be named - and you often get all kinds of lines where the photos join, and sometimes, if there are rectalinear objects or lines - they just don't seem to seam well? Well - this little program does an AMAZING job. The interface is simple, you grab your photos, huck them on in there, press go, and if there are any bits that don't line up perfectly, you can choose reference points across photos to help with the accuracy... and then BINGO! It does an AWESOME job.
Here's the link: http://hugin.sourceforge.net/
It's open source."
