High quality tone mapping and exposure fusion algorithms are built in. Little Planet Be creative! PTGui supports several panoramic projections including equirectangular for spherical panoramas , rectilinear for architectural scenes with straight lines and stereographic, for Little Planet images such as this one.
For a comparison see all features ». Try Give PTGui a try! The trial version is fully functional, there's no time limit, but stitched panoramas have a visible watermark.
Buy Or purchase a license and start creating your own panoramas! For an overview see What's new in PTGui A new blazing fast, GPU accelerated stitching engine. Up to 10 times faster stitching! PTGui now comes with a standalone viewer Windows and Mac for equirectangular panoramas. The viewer can also be used outside of PTGui. It supports full screen display on Windows and mac.
On mac the trackpad can be used for navigation swipe and pinch. This works great for boosting the shadows in a non-bracketed panorama and can at low ISO avoid the need to shoot bracketed images. New menu Images - Select: this allows for example to delete all images outside the visible area of the panorama. Or in conjunction with the yellow crop lines in the panorama editor, to delete images any rectangular area of the panorama. The options 'For print' and 'For web' have been removed.
These applications will be shown in the popup list under the View button Create Panorama tab and Preview button Preview tab. The new PTGui Viewer is always included for equirectangular panoramas. PTGui now checks upon startup whether the configured temporary folders exist and can be written to; it will warn if there is a problem. Slightly improved detail in exposure fused result in areas with saturated colors Updated dcraw to version 9.
This would override the keyboard shortcut for copying to clipboard. Note that this was a rarely used feature, and regular 16 bit output is still fully supported for low dynamic range and tone mapped output. PTStitcher is no longer supported The 'Use Quicktime Player' option for previewing has been removed current QuickTime versions do not support panoramas anymore Version 9. Previously alphabetic ordering was used so '20' would come after ''. Added EXIF sensor size data for a number of cameras PTGui Web Viewer: Fix: In some browsers autorotating would stop after a while Fix: In some browsers, if pan or tilt limits were set partial panorama the display would be corrupted or the viewer would stop responding Fix: mouse wheel zooming did not work in Firefox Fix: mouse wheel zooming would also scroll the web page in which the viewer was embedded If minimum and maximum pan bounds are set, autorotation no longer stops at the edge but reverses direction Right mouse click popup window: the text in this window has been changed from 'Created with PTGui' to 'PTGui Viewer version x.
This can be disabled by adding 'enablemactouchpad: false' to the viewer options in the html source. Dragging while holding down the right mouse button now also zooms in and out When autorotation starts the viewer will navigate towards the horizon. This is still the default but this behaviour can be disabled by adding 'autorotatetohorizon: false' to the viewer options in the html source.
Version 9. Google Maps. Together with the new geotagging feature this makes it very easy to publish your spherical panoramas directly to Google Plus, Google Views and Google Maps. You can even create your own Street View. This caused it to be not recognized by some applications. Fix: Mac: if image filenames were passed on the command line, each image would be opened twice in PTGui.
Fix: in the panorama editor the checkerboard pattern could be visible at the right hand side of the panorama. For long batch lists thousands of projects this would cause a significant delay.
Added support through dcraw for raw images with the. This is no longer required when using the new 'level in second pass' setting. This is the method that was always used in previous versions. This is the method used by the Panotools optimizer. See the Help page for the Optimizer tab for details. Align to Grid now gives an error message if the resulting panorama would be wider than degrees or taller than degrees. Full screen mode is still accessible through the full screen button at the top right of the displayed panorama, or by double clicking.
Running Align Images for a degree panorama now attempts to preserve the center of the panorama if the images were already roughly aligned. Previously it would choose a random center point. Only one version is distributed for Intel 32 and 64 bit support on all OS versions. Support for full screen mode on Mac: click the arrows at the top right of the window requires OS X This caused problems when using Align to Grid with degree panoramas.
This happened if the width of the panorama editor was odd and thus not exactly a equirectangular. Fix: Mac Help files were not visible in OS The speed is now improved again. Previously this was limited to pixels width and height. Please note that many applications including Photoshop cannot read such large jpeg files, claiming that the file is corrupt.
Previously PTGui would need to warp all viewpoint corrected images at the full panorama size. The current version is able to determine which part of the panorama is actually covered by each source image and will only render the visible area.
For templates used by the Batch Builder this setting controls whether the lens settings are taken from the template or from the EXIF data. New dcraw version fixes a problem with Sony. This can be used instead of viewer. View the source of PTGuiViewer. PTGui Viewer: viewer. Same problem occurs after the panorama has been set up through Align Images. Fix: Detail Viewer in 'Drag to Move' mode could move beyond the zenith and nadir resulting in up side down view Fix: Mac: permissions problem could not create folder when installing a company license key for all users on the computer in OS For the most important changes see What's new in PTGui 9.
This sets up the panorama as an array of rows and columns. Particularly useful when shooting gigapixel panoramas with robotic panoramic heads : often some of the images contain only blue sky and cannot be positioned automatically.
Optimizer now tries to keep 'orphaned' images i. Useful in combination with Align to Grid, to keep the blue sky images with the rest of the panorama even after optimizing. This results in better alignment in particular for wide angle lenses, which are often not mounted exactly in front of the center of the sensor. Falls back to Heavy or Medium if the lens parameters cannot be estimated accurately. This selects all control points in that area. Use the Delete key to remove control points in the selected area.
New 'ghost' mouse pointers: if the mouse is moved over a certain part of an image in e. Context menu in the Panorama Editor and Detail Viewer: right-click anywhere in the panorama and a menu pops up. From this menu you can jump to the corresponding point in the Mask or Control Points tab.
This deletes those images from the project for which the Include checkbox is not set. When set to 'sharp' a hard transition is between images is created, 'soft' creates a more gradual transition. The behaviour of the previous versions corresponds to the middle of the slider. Publish to Website: if Resolution is set to Automatic the output is now limited to 60 megapixels. Larger output is possible by overriding the automatic setting but such a panorama may not be displayed reliably on every computer.
When used e. Only the yaw and pitch angles are imported, other settings are assumed to be taken from the EXIF data Added sensor size data for new cameras Bundled dcraw is updated to version 9. See documentation inside PTGuiViewer. Paste Mask now merges the pasted mask with the existing mask. Previously pasting replaced the existing mask completely.
The former behaviour can still be replicated by pressing the Clear Mask button before pasting. Mac: if PTGui is executed straight from the install disk image, it will after user confirmation install itself into the Applications folder of the computer.
Fix: PTGui refused to write Photoshop. The current version will only give a warning message before stitching. Fix: Mac OS Support for OS X Previously saving the project would clear the Undo stack. Viewer now displays 'please wait' while switching to full screen Version 9. Now gives a proper error message on Android. Look around in the panorama as if you are really there by rotating the phone. This means that Flash is not required to view panoramas in the Safari browser, Chrome 9 browser and the upcoming Firefox 4 browser.
PTGui Viewer: Fix: on Apple mobile devices the panorama was shown at only a low resolution, until the user switched to fullscreen display PTGui Viewer: Fix: entering a negative value for autorotate speed to rotate towards the left resulted in an error message Publish to Website window now remembers last used settings 'Physically rotate images with EXIF Orientation tag' checkbox now works for most raw formats previously this was ignored when loading raw images PTGui now also loads GPS metadata from most raw images Added support through dcraw for raw images with the.
For an overview of the new features see What's new in PTGui 9? PTGui Pro: new masking feature. New Mask tab where you can paint the unwanted parts of an image red, or paint those parts green that should not be obfuscated by other images.
The results are shown in real time in the panorama editor blending preview. New 'detail viewer', enabled by clicking on the magnification glass button in the panorama editor. The detail viewer has two modes: 'perspective' generates a rectilinear view like a regular spherical panorama viewer, 'flat' shows a detail of the panorama in the actual projection.
PTGui now includes a basic web panorama viewer and publishing wizard. There are now two mac versions: an OS X The Windows versions are now distributed in a single installer, automatically chosing the 32 or 64 bit version upon installation.
The panorama tools optimizer is now accessed through the PTOptimizer executable instead of through pano A standalone PTOptimizer is available for download more information. Several new interpolators, including the Spline and Sinc interpolators formerly available through Panorama Tools only. The former behaviour is still available as an option.
By default the mouse wheel is now used for scrolling in the Control Points window. Hold down the Ctrl key Windows or Command key Mac to zoom with the mouse wheel. Convert to cube faces: File Naming button has been added, to change the file name suffixes. The default number of simultanous threads is now set to the number of 'real' CPU cores, ignoring hyperthreading currently only on mac. For HDR source images strong halos may appear if an interpolator is used with negative coefficients.
A warning message will now be shown if this is the case. Determines which parts of the template are applied to the project by Apply Template. Can be used for example to create a template which only changes the crop settings Progress bars during loading and saving of project files better visibility of bold numbers in Control Points tab Windows: layout of numbered tabs has been updated to match the Windows 7 style The QTVR generator now has an option to set the min and max pan and tilt angles automatically, based on the field of view of the panorama 'mouse slow down' feature in Control Points tab can now be disabled in the options The default output size limit of 20 megapixels for projects created by Align Images has been lifted to megapixels.
The default can be overridden in the Project Settings tab. For non HDR projects it cannot accurately determine the camera curve so it will use the default curve in that case. When using Enblend or Smartblend PTGui now releases temporary memory before the blender is invoked, leaving more free memory available for the blender.
Version 8. This will leave more memory to other running applications and reduce the chance of disk thrashing Fix: Mac: If a project was openened by double clicking on the project file name in Finder, and one or more source images were missing, a dialog box would be displayed behind the main window.
The dialog now appears in front. Fix: Mac: Previewing a panorama would open a new instance of the configured preview application even it was already running Preview images now always have a unique file name; this fixes the problem in particular on mac of the preview application not updating the image when multiple previews are viewed in sequence Any generated preview images are deleted when closing PTGui New version of dcraw included, this a.
This ensures that Enblend will place its temporary files in the proper location. Fix: 'Assertion failed' error when loading projects from older versions of PTGui containing a non-circular crop area for images taken with circular lens type Version 8. Can help to prevent disk thrashing on systems with fast CPUs where disk speed is the bottleneck.
Previously multiple copies were launched when blending the blend planes of HDR panoramas on multi core machines Sony. This is no longer asked for projects with viewpoint optimization. Further this question can now be disabled in the Project Settings and by selecting the 'do not ask this again' checkbox. See the Projection Settings button in the Panorama Editor.
PTGui now uses interpolators with a dynamic kernel size. This ensures high quality interpolation over the entire panorama. For example in a rectilinear panorama pixels in the edges are more stretched than those in the center. The interpolator kernel is now adjusted accordingly, which prevents blurring or aliasing artefacts that would occur with a uniform interpolator.
Support for reading most types of camera RAW files. RAW support is provided through the dcraw executable. Please note that RAW conversion adjustments are limited; for full control over the RAW conversion result a third party raw converter is recommended. The Batch Builder is launched from the Tools menu.
You can for example tell PTGui Pro not to choose a suitable projection and field of view, but instead keep the current project settings. This is in particular useful when working with templates. PTGui Pro: default output file and folder names are configurable per project and per template Project Settings tab. Batch Stitcher: pause button Batch Stitcher: redesigned Jobs list.
When a batch stitcher job is finished, the job is marked as 'done' but stays in the list. Batch Stitcher: in case of an error, the error is logged and the batch stitcher continues with the next job Batch Stitcher: a project in the list of jobs can be opened in PTGui by double clicking, pressing Enter or through the right-click context menu 'Send to Batch Stitcher' is replaced by 'Save and send to Batch Stitcher'. In previous versions a temporary copy of the project was sent to the batch stitcher, but now the actual project file is sent this is necessary for the batch stitcher to be able to add control points to the project.
This behaves like the 'Send to Batch Stitcher' button of the previous versions. This allows PTGui to capture and display any error messages. Crop settings of all images are now linked by default: changes to the crop of one image are automatically applied to all images. One can use 'individual crop' to override the crop settings for an image. Crop linking correctly handles the case where some images are rotated as is the case when a nadir image is taken with the camera's rotation sensor enabled.
To do so, go to About - Register and re-enter your existing registration key. Support for true relative file names for source images.
Previously the absolute path of source images was always written to the project file, except when the source image resided in the same folder as the project file. Now relative paths are used when the source image is in any folder but in Windows restricted to the same drive. Download Now! PTGui 9. PTGui is panoramic photo stitching software. Last update 30 May. Users rating:. Use PTGui to stitch any number of photos into a panoramic image. Some benefits of PTGui, when compared to other stitching software: PTGui can stitch multiple rows of images Create degree cylindrical panoramas, 'flat' partial panoramas and even spherical x degree panoramas No need to keep the camera level: PTGui can stitch rotated and tilted images Virtually unlimited output size: create Gigapixel panoramas from hundreds of images!
Layered output allows full control over the final stitched result PTGui stitches most panoramas fully automatically, but at the same time provides full manual control over every single parameter. This enables stitching of 'difficult' scenes, where other programs fail. To hide something paint it red in the Mask tab: Or to reveal an object paint it green: For more information about this feature see the tutorial Masking in PTGui Pro. Therefore Flash is now the format of choice for publishing panoramas, but Flash is not supported on the iPad, iPod and iPhone.
The viewer works on every computer with Flash 10 installed. The best thing is that you only have to publish your panorama once to make it viewable on all of these platforms. View an example panorama here. Press the Help button in Publish to Website for a detailed explanation of the parameters. The 64 bit version allows PTGui to access more memory 32 bit applications are limited to 3 GB of RAM and this results in significant faster stitching of large panoramas if you have enough RAM memory installed.
From now on all versions, including the Mac version and the standard version are available both in 32 and 64 bit.
