Auto stitch
Autostitch claims to be the world's first fully automatic 2D image
stitcher. Capable of stitching full view panoramas without any user
input whatsoever, Autostitch is a breakthrough technology for
panoramic photography, VR and visualization applications. This is
the first solution to stitch any panorama completely automatically,
whether 1D (horizontal) or 2D (horizontal and vertical).
Autostitch is built using cutting edge research from the AI lab at
UBC, but is simple to use! You input your digital photos and out
comes your panoramic view. A free demo for Windows is available at
the moment, that is all not even a commercial purchasable item, so
what they intend to do here is unclear. But again worth taking a
look. Free Demo.

who explores and lists colors and tones in and enormously broad
range. He points out that out of a range of 16,777,216 colors,
there are only 216 'Web safe' color codes [0.000013%]. These
codes offer a lot of color tones that are so similar you can't
distinguish one from another leaving you with really few
different colors. Other Color charts available on the Internet
organize the codes sequentially, or by RGB,but never by color.
Claude's chart contains hand-picked, hand-sorted colors with
their codes, creating a selection of tones over a very broad
spectrum, beautifully classified on a simple base. The site is
active in adding to its selection all the time. A very
interesting and useful site. Free.
