Hi Uri,
I'm sorry to emmberess you :-) I think all your pictures are
beautiful
I picked this picture because this market is 5 min. from my
childhood home...
I looked at the next software :
http://www.clickheredesign.com.au/software
Do you or anybody have expiriance with it?
My problem untill now was that I have used my PC, now I did some
tests in my I-Mac,
I realize as you said that if I shoot fuul round fisg eye photo the
software will convert it to a 360 movie. is that what you call "QTVR
movies" ?
Thanks again,
Ron
