Apple Thoughts: Calico Updated to Version 1.5

"Updates include iPhoto and Aperture integration, improved blending at the image overlaps (less ghosting), added automatic/manual checks for updates, fixed PTMac project export, and other minor bug fixes. Making panoramas couldn't be easier. Load your images, press align to make a preview, adjust the crop as you like and make the panorama. Making panoramas couldn't be easier. Calico supports multi-row panoramas, 16 bit input and output inlcuding TIFF, and single and layered PSD and PSB output (8 and 16 bit) and has a new cropping tool so you can set the area of the panorama."

I've been a paid user of Calico since 1.0 and it's a magnificent app for making panoramas and doing it quickly and easily. With the new fixes to the anti-ghosting algorithm and (finally!) and automatic updater, it's one application you should have in your toolbag if you like to take a lot of photos. The one above is one I took from field level at Citi Field in New York (home of the Amazin' Mets). It's a composite of five photos done with the latest version of Calico Had I not told you it was five photos, you'd never know.

The results are awesome and the app is worth it if panoramas are your thing.
