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]
Version 13 beta 8 also claims significant performance improvements when optimizing large panoramas and also a speedier optimum seam finding algorithm.
