[PTGui Pro 11.12 Crack Full Torrent Free Download

PTGui belongs to the category of in-depth panorama stitching programs that offer a huge library of features, complex projections (the way your set of images are actually mapped), and powerful tools for adjusting how those images are blended. To get a sense of how much more control is offered, consider these two screenshots comparing the controls offered by Lightroom when stitching and one of the dozens of screens you can access when working in PTGui.
The overall interface is very clean, with a contemporary dark theme. The layout is customizable, to an extent, with the primary interface really being two windows, with one controlling project settings and the second being a resizable viewport for seeing the panorama and making adjustments directly on it.
I typically will finish my panoramas in Photoshop, so I love the PSB option. As a bonus, PTGui can output the individual frames as layers atop the finished panorama, letting you easily blend in singular elements or touch up any problem areas.
A very nice article about a very interesting subject! Thanks! Probably a definite must for the pro-photographer! I myself am just an interested amateur and a little spoilt by the ease of taking (many) digital pictures and then not going through with them but instead they just take up space on my harddrive ...
To at least stitch the panoramas together and get a quick look at them, with a minimum of job, I have used Microsoft ICE (free) for a few years now and think it is doing a decent job! Just drag and drop the pictures onto ICE - then it is fully automatic and it even has a autocomplete feature to fill in missing parts along the edges. I certainly prefer to use it over the Photoshop alternative - it is quicker and easier to use!
It is probably not anything a pro would use but if it has a relatively straight series of pictures it will do a quite ok job. "Easy" pictures like nature and landscapes turn out really good but indoor scenes with sharp edges pose a bigger problem. Lots of projections to use and zoomable preview to look for any misses before you actually commit to a stitch. Even if it usually manages to align the pictures it is pity there is no way to help the software find the control points if it fails. Autocomplete is good to use to get a "preview" how it would look if you put in a while editing it in Affinity Photo or Photoshop - but not always something you would keep! No limit to the size (according to MS) and you can set up structured panoramas of amazing number of pictures.
I used to use ICE - it was amazingly good. The problem was that Microsoft stopped supporting or distributing it. Eventually I had to get a new computer, and found I could no longer install ICE - or maybe it just wouldn't run, I don't remember. PTGui has more flexibility and the ability to fine tune the matchups - although as this writer points out that's seldom necessary.
Thanks Sven! Yeah, as I tried to point out, more advanced tools really make a difference when your image set is suboptimal - parallax, subject movement, etc. If ICE is working good for you, that's great!
What I find an underrated quality of this (or potentially other?) panorama editors is reprojecting single fish-eye or ultra wide shots. Of course there are others, dxo viewpoint seemed a nice one but isn't quite as capable.
I tried a few panorama editors but ptgui has been my long time favorite.
I've made hundreds of panoramas, gigapixel images and other composites in PTGUI, it really is the powerhouse that could. I have found nothing that I can't piece together with that program and as importantly, that I can project in thousands of varying views. I've sold many wall sized pieces of gigapixle art made in that program. 10/10 stars!
Dang. Should have bought it back when it was $100 a few years ago haha. Still probably worth it for anyone shooting panos. I've played with it before and it was phenomenal. The ability to click and drag your projection in real time is irreplacable. Every free alternative I've tried (Hugin, etc.) has come away lacking.
If you just want your money back then let's not waste our time and
contact me at sup...@ptgui.com. I only want happy customers.On the other hand if you're interested in solving the problem: If your
images are taken properly (no parallax faults) then PTGui will be able
to stitch them just fine, indoor or outdoor. My guess is that PTGui
assumes your lens is a fisheye while it is a rectilinear lens. See 3.3
for details:
_3But that's just a guess. If you can make a zip file with your images
available I'd be happy to take a look. If you don't have a web server to
publish the file, use e.g. yousendit.com and send the file to
sup...@ptgui.comJoost
I am glad you chose to share your disappointment with this group,
rather than just write off your purchase as a waste. You make the
comment in the right place... but don't be surprised if people
leap to the defence of PTgui, as this group consists mostly of
VERY satisfied users, like myself.I too am retired, although I bought PTgui v2.0 years ago when I
had a great deal more disposable income. I can assure you that I
have seen PTgui regularly upgraded and become a truly superb
and very sophisticated tool for creating panoramas. I have bought
each upgrade when I was no longer entitled to free upgrades, and
have never regretted a single one. We are now up to v9.3!Since there are so many of us who are happy with our purchase
it should occur to you that you may be doing something wrong, or
for some reason not getting the best out of it.One thing immediately occurs to me. Most lenses with an 8mm
focal length are fisheye, not rectilinear. And PTgui assumes
that they are fisheye and sets things up accordingly. Most
of your problems might be solved by overriding the default
setting (which will work for most people who DON'T have an
8mm rectilinear lens), and selecting the correct "rectilinear"
setting.Let's take it from there. I have been amazed and humbled by
the generous expert help I have received over the years in this
group. If you hang around, and can take and follow advice,
then you will probably become very happy with your purchase.Roger W.

I doubt this large parallax is caused by NPP (no-parallax-point) shift.
The objects are several meters away and the distance between background
and foreground objects is less than the distance from the camera to the
foreground object. This would mean that the NPP was changed more than
the apparent movement of the foreground object relative to the
background. I suspect the NPP was moved at least some centimeters
between the shots. Which would indicate that the panorama head was set
up completely wrong.Wanderer, could you show some images from your panorama head setup?--
