The proliferation of the various packages and their cross-over is quite confusing.

I have Xara Extreme 5 and Xara Web Designer 7 Premium (like these very much). These, plus Windows Live Photo Gallery, do most of what I want: design my own personal & simple websites and process photos, mostly to use on my websites. I build panoramas quite a lot (generally three to five & sometimes more photos).

WD7 Prem does have a pano builder but appears to be a cut down version (How cut down?) and recommends upgrading. Unlike Microsoft ICE (part of Windows Live Essentials) it requires the photos to be in the correct order and may be able to handle fewer photos. It does do a nice job of what it does. What capabilities does the upgraded version of Xara Pano have and is the upgrade the same as that in Pro?

Where does Photo & Graphic Designer (& pro) fit? I can find other comparisons not including WD7 Premium.

Do the Pro versions include anything like Photosynth - allowing you to take, say, 30 or more photos including close-ups and to synthesise all so you can pan an object and zoom in/out on specific areas? For example, I would like to photograph a gully and zoom in on various rock art features and flora & fauna in the gully and to use the finished study on my website???
Thanks
