I am trying to figure out the best peice of software for making these things.

Does anyone have any experience with this? If so could you point me in the right direction?

Right now I have tried Ulead, which is great, makes wonderful images and stitches them together probably better than any other peice of software I have tried, but it has no optimization settings, and no way to make it so that the images don't curve making it look like a fishbowl view(which is annoying as hell)

And then I have tried the software packages from Vrtoolbox and they are great for optimzation settings, but don't work worth a damn when it comes to stiching,or blending..

So if anyone has any advice please let me know..

Cheers
