Can PTGui fill the edges of a stitched panorama

[Rick Hamill]

Hi, Group: I'm new to PTGui. Just started the trial version of Pro. I've been using the Photomerge feature in Photoshop Elements 12. When I use the Autofill feature to fill in the edges of the stitched panorama, PSE 12 often fills the edges with "garbage". Does PTGui have a feature to fill the blank edges of a stitched panorama? Thank you for the help.

Apparently not, but I don't have PSE and hence don't know what this
feature is supposed to do. That said, PTGui stitches the images and
doesn't "invent" any additional content if that is meant.

Yeah, that is what is meant.  It's like Photoshop's content-aware filling / GIMP with Resynthesizer

Works well on small areas of low contrast (sky, etc.) or undiscernable patterning (trees, grassland), but other areas it often fails.  There wouldn't be much that PTGui could do to improve on that even if it was decided to add such a feature - if it did improve on it, that would likely be worthy of a texture synthesis research paper of its own.

Yes, this could be nice to fill automatically some missing parts on panorama edges.
Depending where you crop your panorama, most of the time it's sky part which is an uniform color.
This would avoid to crop some pixels in panorama and extend a bit the final size.
 Ok, nothing will be better than a dedicated software  (Gimp or whatever) and someone doing this manually.

Anyway, this feature can help in some situations and avoid to open it and correct it with Gimp or similar.
