Hi,
I've got the PTGui Pro license and I was wondering if it's possible from a .NET application, from Command Prompt or Windows Powershell to automate the panorama generation creation.
I just want to avoid the whole process of opening the software, selecting the images, setting Align to Grid, executing Align Images and finally Generate Panorama in .tiff.
Either in PTGui Pro 12 or 13 Beta, is it possible to automate the process and maybe just pass the images folder path and let the process execute without opening the software?
Thanks in advance!

You can probably use the command line options:

Another possibility (besides using the command line interface) would be

to use templates and the Batch Builder. You configure template behavior
on Project Settings tab, save as template, then choose Batch Builder
from Tools menu, which will create project files (according to your
template) and send them to the Batch Stitcher.

And in PTGui 13 beta:
A new command line option was added for creating a new project file from
a given set of images and optionally a template:
PTGui[.exe] -createproject img1.jpg img2.jpg -output project.pts
[-template template.pts]
This creates a project file for the given source images, optionally
using a template, but does not stitch it yet. No GUI is shown. The
project can be opened in PTGui, or it can be stitched from the command
line using the -stitchnogui flag. The -createproject and -stitchnogui
flags can even be combined in a single command line, in which case the
project is created and stitched in one go:
PTGui[.exe] -createproject img1.jpg img2.jpg -output project.pts
-template template.pts -stitchnogui project.pts
But as Erik says, you might also just want to use the Batch Builder instead.
Kind regards,

Thanks for all the answers.
The whole process is working pretty great with commands similar to this:
PTGui.exe -createproject D:\Temp\White\R0_C0_Red.jpg D:\Temp\White\R0_C1_Red.jpg D:\Temp\White\R0_C2_Red.jpg -output projectTest.pts -stitchnogui projectTest.pts
Considering that I need to stitch more than 100+ images, I was wondering if it's possible to just pass the folder path (D:\Temp\White in my example) as argument instead of every single image file path.

Hi Leonardo,
No I'm sorry, that's not supported. You have to pass the individual
image file names.

But there could be command line tools that do the job for you outside of PTgui.
I don't know windows command line too well, but at least in bash joker notation like R0_C*.jpg will send a list of all the files matching R0_C*.jpg in that folder to the program it's about to start. PTgui in this case. If it gets more complex like that you can also do a bit of programming, as languages like Python are originally developed to solve such simple but repetetive tasks.

Hi,
thanks anyway, it's not particularly a problem.
Back to the script command, I was wondering if the optional template to add could be useful in my situation...
I noticed that the stitching of my 12x7 images grid is failing, the control points creation is failing because one of the images is mostly black without any particular detail.
From PTGui UI I can reopen the project i generated and generate a good panorama after applying 12x7 grid and re-aligning images.
From PTGui script command If I remove one row of images, the -stitchnogui will generate the panorama without any errors (because that black row is no longer part of the process).
Considering that it's working from the PTGui UI, can I add some extra attribute on my command to make it work?
I'm not using the template so I was wondering how should I implement it.
Thanks in advance

Hi Leonardo,
You could do Align To Grid and setup your images in a 12x7 grid. Then do
File - Save As Template. You can use that template for multiple sets of
images if they use the same grid.
