Agreed!  Very nice pano.

I used Panorama Maker 3 quite frequently at my previous job, not only for 
stitching panoramas, but for rebuilding images that I had to scan from large 
prints (that is, if I had to scan a photo bigger than 8x12, I'd scan it in 
pieces and then rebuild it with Panorama Maker).

I really like that software, and it does a great job with seamless stitching 
about 95% of the time.  For the price, it's a fantastic value.

The only gripe I have with it is that it must be a serious memory hog, 
because it would frequently crash on me if I was trying to stitch too many 
high-resolution panels together.  For instance, if I had scanned a large 
print and needed to rebuild it, the dpi of each panel could usually be no 
more than 400-500 dpi or the program would crash (I liked keeping the dpi 
high to make the "dust & scratches" filter in photoshop less apparent when I 
made my final print).  ArcSoft came out with a patch for it, which helped a 
little, but it's still prone to crashing.

However, if you're stitching digital photos, it's pretty rare for it to 
crash at all, and it almost always does a great job.
