Hi Leo,

You might try cool360 -  http://www.ulead.com/ they have a 15 day trial and 
the cost is $40 US for a serial number. Cool360 allows the adjustment of 
brightness, contrast etc. for each picture or you can correct them in any of 
the photo processing programs. To date I havn't found any processing 
software that is realy suitable for serious digital photographers, let alone 
panoramic work.

Lots of programs will display two windows of the shot being worked on, thats 
OK for an album shot, but to adjust for a stitch we need the option of 
displaying another photograph so that the contrast etc. can be matched.

Good luck, and by the way is that camera you are using a digital or film 
type?

Also if you are taking 20 shots for one 360 pan you are either overlaping 
too much or using too long a focal length. A 40mm lense setting on my Mavica 
requires 8 horizontal or 12 virtical shots for a complete 360. See my new 
Pan site for more info.
