We don't hold those big white things in fearful awe over here, they carry no weight, (Yes, I know they are heavy) We are more impressed by results than white paint :lol:

I have used ArcSoft Pan software for many years and can honestly say that, having tried a host of other offerings,including PS and LR I see no reason to change. The latest Panorama Maker 6 is my s/w of choice.
I use Nikon D4s in my day job but actually PREFER using my Mamiya RZ67 for real photography :thumbup: RZ is slower, way heavier, all manual, uses expensive film, some say outdated..... I like it most, because it instills discipline in my shooting.
If it were me, and I could go back in time and save literally thousands upon thousands of dollars on gear by just using what I have...I'd do it....but that's hindsight.
I regularly use Topaz photoFXLab (standalone) which I bought with all the plugins as a bundle. I also use the NIK bundle and Tiffen dfx. Each package has its strengths, and I have become accustomed to using whichever best suits my needs. (horses for courses)......
