PTGui runs on Microsoft Windows (Windows XP, Vista, 7) and Apple Mac (Intel processors only, OS X 10.4 or later). At least 1 GB free disk space (for temporary files)
is recommended. PTGui has been optimized for stitching large panoramas; despite the amounts of data involved with photo stitching,
PTGui runs fine even with only 1 GB of RAM.
