I like to think I'm a typical user, because I only want the panoramas to come out properly every time. It is true that I have a reason for wanting such a high degree of reliability, but this should be what Autopano achieves anyway.
The other things that I see Autopano being used for are definitely pushing the boundaries of traditional photography, but they're also a consequence of digital photography and computers put together.
I think it would be good if Autopano could be driven by command line and scripts, so that processing can be done in stages and invoked in various orders. Currently, the GUI limits the options somewhat.
If there's no button for it, then it can't happen. Command line would work around this problem, allowing Autopano to be embedded into various workflows.

As it's more expensive for Adobe to produce and market different versions of the same software, the real question is: how many users of Elements bough it because they believed it was easiest to use than the full PS CS version?

My thinking is: "let's try to reduce those 20% that need manual intervention via smart application logic"; as opposed to the much requested "give me more tools and options, so I can work on those 20% and the rest 80% myself".

Steve wrote:If you want to see a totally automatic panorama tool, have a look at Calico. That's a drag'n'pray tool for those who can say "oh well, that one sucks, let's try something else". Autopano can aspire to that, or it can handle reality and provide the tools to correct for situations it cannot handle.

I found that APP was the best in terms of automatic stitching. RealViz was good but it was $500! Many of the other programs just didn't do what APP did, and had complicated user interfaces.
