I would like to request an option to disable 360 wrapping. 
Use cases
1. When creating omni direction stereo panoramas, there are some post processing requirements for each image involving scaling, rotation, and zero-parallax alignment that are best done without a 360 wrapped panorama.
2. When there is undesirable movement in the scene one technique is to capture 720 degrees, stitch together and then crop out the best bit.
3. And finally, there are some more artistic applications ... capturing chronopanoramas where time is being captured slowly changing across multiple rotations.

Hi Paul,

I'm afraid this is nearly impossible to do without overhauling the
entire stitching and optimization pipeline in PTGui. PTGui projects all
images in a spherical environment, which is 360 degrees wide.

Kind regards,

I feared as much, as the developer of a range of immersive image
remapping tools I can imagine/understand the situation.
Thanks for getting back to me and confirming, I can now focus on
alternative approaches to what I need to do.
