from digital photos.

Press Release Body = MOSCOW, Russia - Friday, March 30, 2007 - FirmTools announced
today the release of version 3 of Panorama Composer, the highly anticipated tool to
generate a 360 degree panoramic photo out of several snapshots and save it as a
jpeg, html or exe file. Thanks to the self-explanatory user interface and enhanced
graphics engine, the application simplifies photo pan creation for amateurs and
provides professionals with extended customization options to ensure the best
quality of the processed pan.

Panorama Composer 3 features an exceptionally well-designed program interface
that will easily guide you through all three steps of pan generating from adding and
arranging jpeg images to stitching them into a solid photo pan. With the unique
blending algorithm developed by FirmTools research department, the application can
make a high quality pan out of photos with an intersection starting from 2% which is
a leap forward compared to 50% overlapping in other competitive products. Analyzing
the blending images, Panorama Composer enhances image focusing and eliminates photo
distortion. A built-in additional configuration utility allows users to forget about
common photo focusing defects, small intersection problems and using a tripod for
making "steady" pictures as, choosing from several sets of parameters, they can
successfully fix all quality-related problems. The resulting pan may be saved as a
jpeg file, a QuickTime Virtual Reality movie, an html file or as a self-starting
executable postcard. Simplicity plus innovation make Panorama Composer and the whole
FirmTools family of products the ultimate digital imaging software for digital
camera owners.

The latest version of Panorama Composer features such distinctive features as:
- Lively Flash interface which is easy to learn and use;
- Composition of high-quality pans from snapshots with small intersections;
- Creation of complete 360 degree flat pans;
- Saving resulting pans in jpg, QuickTime, html (with different viewrs embedded) and
exe formats;
- Saving pans as projects to be modified later;
- Automatic lens type detection;
- Complete program documentation.

The application runs under Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista and costs $29.95
(USD). All registered customers are entitled to free minor updates and one-year free
technical support. The fully functional evaluation version of the program can be
