But remember, higher level of Smoothing need more computer memory!

 Mirrow image.
This feature can be used for pictures which are not panoramas.
When this option is on(green tick), image will doubled by mirrow image. So, you will not see exact edge of picture - it will be continued by reflected image.
This feature uses double size of memory than simple image.

Wnen real height of image is larger the height of screen, Fit to Height will reduce memoty using.
When this option is off, you can move image vertically by Verctical picute aligh tool.

 Speed dispersion limit.
 Acceleration.
 Speed changing timeout.
For example, look at the picture. Rotating speed is 7.
Speed dispersion limit is 15. It meams, that speed can be changed between 7-15 and 7+15 values. Or -8..22 (turns per hour)
Acceleration is 6. It means, that every change of speed will be less or equial to 6. Or 0, 1, ... 5, 6. And, of course, speed can be less than -8, of greater than 22.
Speed changing timeout is 5(sec). It means, that every 5 seconds WallPanorama will try to change Speed by Acceleration and constrains by Speed Limits.
