Victoria, British Columbia -- ACD Systems International Inc. (TSX:ASA), the digital imaging company, today announced the release of ACD Photostitcher Plug-in, a software product that enables users to automatically take a series of digital images and stitch them into a single panoramic image.
ACD Photostitcher Plug-in was built by Sanyo Electric Co. Ltd. and Sanyo Electric Software Co. Ltd., using ACD’s Software Development Kit (SDK). Sanyo Electric Software Co. Ltd. has also signed an agreement with ACD Systems to enable distribution of the product through ACD Systems’ powerful Electronic Sales and Distribution (ESD) channel as well as ACD’s other proven marketing vehicles.
This SDK agreement is the latest in a number of agreements entered into by ACD Systems’ SDK Partner Program with leading global technology companies including HP, Canon, Sony, Electronic Arts, Future Shop, Intel, Kodak’s Ofoto, and RealView 3D.
ACD Photostitcher Plug-in streamlines the users’ image management workflow as it is easily accessed from within ACDSee™ by selecting the program from the “Extras” menu. ACD Photostitcher Plug-in creates panoramic photographs from two or more digital photos and automatically aligns the photographs into one panoramic image. Users can easily adjust the alignments, stitch the image into a flat panel or a 360-degrees cylindrical form, and trim the final picture. ACD Photostitcher Plug-in appeals to a variety of users from the individual who wants to create panoramic images of scenery or travel to commercial applications such as real estate agents or web designers who may use the product to turn a series of photographs into seamless, zoomable panoramas to individualize the look of a web site.
