I've found CS4 does the best aligning and blending of any tool I've tried, although I use the "align and blend layers" functions, rather than "photomerge." (Going to try photomerge sometime soon.) However, PhotoShop can't be used to make virtual tour panoramas, as it doesn't do the full 360. In other words, it doesn't match the two ends of the panorama, so they can be wrapped around and joined. PG Gui does that. Paul > > John's suggestion sounds very reasonable too.
