Written like an advertisement (violation of WP:NOTSOAP), does not have a single source and does not establish the notability.

I used Google Books to look into the two items listed in "Further reading" section. The subject of the article is briefly mentioned in page 76 of the first book and not mentioned in the second at all. In any case two sources are not "significant coverage", and while notability is required, it is not enough. WP:NOTSOAP is a fundamental policy; notability is just a guideline.

 * Keep I added two articles in published magazines as basic references. There are probably more of this kind in photography related magazines (will look into these, but this will take some time). I also removed unsourced advert-like content. Pavlor (talk) 12:20, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep The article needs improving, not deleting. It's a bit of a niche software but it's widely used by photographers who make panoramic images, so it's kind of notable, and at least as well known as Hugin (software). Depends who you ask, I suppose. I found several links to articles online: 1 2 3 4 5... nagualdesign 12:52, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - There is shallow coverage in a couple of books, newspapers, magazines and well-established blogs. The software has been around for quite a while in digital photography terms and is somewhat of a de facto standard for creating panoramic images. - MrX 13:25, 3 January 2018 (UTC)
