Image Composite Editor

The stitched panorama can be saved in a wide variety of file formats, from common formats like JPEG and TIFF to multi-resolution tiled formats like HD View and Deep Zoom, as well as allowing multi-resolution upload to the Microsoft Photosynth site. It can also be saved  to a web page with a zoomable viewer using a third-party template. As of 2021 the program is no longer available for download from Microsoft though it can be found on various other sources. Features. However, Microsoft ICE currently does not provide any anti-Ghosting-mechanism, like other panorama stitching programmes do, e.g. the open source programme Hugin (software) and various commercial applications.
