Download PTGui 12.10

A frequently discussed piece of software in the Photo & Video Workflow subforum is PTGui. This program focuses on creating and adjusting composite images. This can be a vertical or horizontal panorama, but also one large image with an enormous resolution that is composed of countless individual shots. With a stack of photos as input, the program can then figure out how to put them next to each other. For the computation-intensive part, the GPU can also be used via OpenCL to be ready faster. It features various options, where PTGui Pro also makes it possible to combine HDR photos, mask moving objects and adjust the viewing point, among other things. The following changes and improvements have been made in this release:

Changes in version 12.10:

• Added sensor size data for new cameras.
• Fixed: Disabling the option ‘Automatically check for software updates’ didn’t work. After restarting PTGui, the automatic update check would be enabled again.
• Fixed: macOS could register PTGui as the default application to handle raw files or other images. This caused PTGui to be opened when double clicking raw files, and Finder shows raw files as ‘PTGui Raw’. This should no longer happen.
• Fixed: The OpenCL driver in Microsoft’s OpenCL™ and OpenGL® Compatibility Pack could crash when using GPU acceleration in PTGui. PTGui now avoids using this driver, so the native GPU driver will be used.
• Fixed: Banding artifacts could be visible for certain panoramas when using GPU acceleration on macs with Apple Silicon.
• Fixed: Metadata from certain Jpeg images (with multi segment EXIF) was not read correctly.
• Fixed: The GPano metadata for spherical panoramas incorrectly included InitialViewHeadingDegrees=0. This caused the panorama to be opened in the wrong direction. The correct value is 180.
• Fixed: PTGui Pro: When outputting individual layers only, PTGui would still calculate the optimum seams, even though they are not used. This caused stitching to take longer than needed.
• Fixed: Running Align Images on bracketed dual fisheye images (from one shot panoramic cameras) could unlevel the panorama if it was already leveled using accelerometer data.
• Fixed: Linux: the borders of the grid cells (Image Parameters, Source Images, etc) were missing.
