Before creating Lapentor, we were merely photographers and developers. At that time, the 360 panoramic industry was in an early stage, there were only handful of competent software to use. We found it a pain a long the way we were learning to be competent in such software. In addition, they were not as flexible as we expected. Then, whilst using those software, we were also building our own tool which was the predecessor of nowadays Lapentor. After realizing the same need from the panoramic photographers, we decided to launch the Lapentor project and share the the wealth to the photographers.
Not possible currently but we have plan for it in near future. Pls follow our roadmap for more information
