» Title: Creative DW Image Show PRO
» Description: Creative DW Image Show PRO is a Dreamweaver extension which enables the user to create multimedia presentations. It combines the features of the popular Creative DW Image Show with the ability to add professional text effects to slides (similar to After Effects). The product is very customizable: the user can choose the duration of the transition effects, the slide motion start and end position, zoom and panning type for both images and texts.
Let's say you want to take a picture of a
swimming pool. It is laughable how rudimentary the images can be. Here is a
series of images I used to create the final product of this tutorial (I
am resizing them to icon dimensions but they are being included in the ZIP
file attached):

How did I take these images? I held the camera in my hand, and turned around
in approximately 40 degree increments. My clue is to include what I see on the
right side of the frame of one image in the middle of the frame in the next.
This allows for good overlapping. The more pictures, the more overlapping, the
better the results. I used a Fisheye lens attached to the camera, and you will
even laugh harder when you realize that I didn't have an original Sony fisheye
lens, so I had to hold the fisheye onto the camera lens with one hand, while
photographing with the other. You might want to practice this on inanimate
objects, because people have a nasty tendency of moving, and that is extremely
annoying to the construction of VR images: You get a guy putting his arms on
his chest in one image, and picking his nose on the next, and the result
resembles an outer space alien with 3 arms. Make sure not to leave out
anything, and to complete 360 turn, even a little more, to prevent the
inevitable pain when you return to your computer to discover you screwed up on
your shootout... My Sony Mavica Generates large HQ images at 2.5 MegaPixels
