Arcsoft Panorama Maker pro 4 (4.5 actually) (ACMP4)
This software from Arcsoft is capable of importing a 48bit DNG file (Adobe camera raw)
But it is not possible to export it back to DNG format again after stitching so there is
no actual gain to do it (I would have liked that option since we would have been
able to use many of the nice tools in ACR to make the final color adjustments.
Anyhow ACMP4 is still quite a bit more tweakable in regards of output control
It has built in color correction tool a histogram and sharpening option just to
mention some, if you don't own or intend to get any of the Adobe software
well, then I suggest that you download the demo and try it (Output size limited on demo).
