PTGui is a panorama photo stitching program for Windows and macOS developed by New House Internet Services BV. PTGui was created as a GUI frontend to Helmut Dersch's Panorama Tools. It features its own stitching and blending engine [3] along with compatibility to Panorama Tools. PTGui supports telephoto, normal, wide angle and fisheye lenses [4] to create partial cylindrical up to full spherical panoramas. PTGui can handle multiple rows of images. [5]
Originally released for Windows, version 6.0.3 introduced support for Mac OS X. [6]
The 'free trial version' of PTGui is fully functional but creates panoramas with embedded visible watermarks. [7]
PTGui Pro also includes HDR and tone mapping support. [8]
The upcoming version 13 beta 8 - though as of Nov. 2024 still slated as beta status, is now reported as quite reliable after 8 iterations - includes the following new features: a Patch Editor (PTGui Pro only), DNG output, improved RAW / DNG handling, and JPEG 2000 support. [9] [2]
Version 13 beta 8 also claims significant performance improvements when optimizing large panoramas and also a speedier optimum seam finding algorithm. [2]
