- Fix: Windows: crash upon exit after the notification that a new version is available
- Version 8.3 (21 October 2009)
- Redesigned memory management, resulting in significant performance improvements for larger stitching projects
- Fix: Mac: performance bottlenecks on Snow Leopard
- Fix: Mac: after closing the main window, opening a project by double clicking on the file name, or by dropping on the PTGui icon, did not work anymore
- Fix: Batch builder ignored the 'Physically rotate images with EXIF Orientation tag' project setting
- Fix: Add Images dialog did not show files with certain extensions
- Fix: Mac: crash upon exit after the notification that a new version is available
- Fix: Mac: optimizing using PanoTools would change the decimal separator used in PTGui to a point, on European
systems where the comma is normally used as decimal separator
- Version 8.2.2 (2 September 2009)
- Fix: Pro: Exposure correction (for panoramas taken in automatic exposure mode) did not work when a project was stitched in the batch stitcher
- When the maximum amount of RAM is configured as 'Auto', PTGui will use less memory than in previous versions. This will leave more memory to other running applications and reduce the chance of disk thrashing
- Fix: Mac: If a project was openened by double clicking on the project file name in Finder, and one or more source images were missing, a dialog box would be displayed behind the main window. The dialog now appears in front.
- Fix: Mac: Previewing a panorama would open a new instance of the configured preview application even it was already running
- Preview images now always have a unique file name; this fixes the problem (in particular on mac) of the preview application not updating the image when multiple previews are viewed in sequence
- Any generated preview images are deleted when closing PTGui
- New version of dcraw included, this (a.o.) fixes color issue with decoding Pentax .pef files
- Fix: Assertion failed 'IsAbsolutePath' could occur in certain situations
- Fix: Mac: Stitching through nona was broken
- Help file updated
- Version 8.2.1 (8 June 2009)
- Help file updated
- Included sensor size data for many new cameras
- Fix: inaccurate sensor size calculation for certain Nikon cameras
- Fix (Pro): if in the Project Settings tab 'Do Align images and save the modified project' was enabled, but 'Generate control points' disabled, the batch stitcher would skip some steps if the project has no control points.
- Version 8.2 (3 June 2009)
- Built in cube face converter, see Tools -> Convert to QTVR / cubic
- Fix: Windows: when loading images with incomplete EXIF data, the Preset buttons were not shown in the EXIF dialog
- Fix: when positioning individual images in the panorama editor, the image would suddenly 'flip' when dragged near the zenith or nadir
- Fix: out of memory errors when loading certain types of large TIFF files
- Fix: before running a blending plugin, the working directory is changed to PTGui's temporary folder. This ensures that Enblend will place its temporary files in the proper location.
- Fix: 'Assertion failed' error when loading projects from older versions of PTGui containing a non-circular crop area for images taken with circular lens type
- Version 8.1.5 (13 May 2009)
- Magnification window in control point editor is now hidden when adding a new control point in the opposite panel
- New setting in Options: maximum number of concurrent disk accesses. This limits the number of threads that will simultaneously access the disk for reading/writing temporary files. Can help to prevent disk thrashing on systems with fast CPUs where disk speed is the bottleneck.
- Kodak .dcr files now supported (through dcraw)
- Configurable behaviour of File | Open Template | Other.. menu: either opens the template folder, or remembers the last used folder
- New config option: should the batch stitcher by default exit when done
- Fix: Automatic alignment / control point generating would fail for HDR source images
- Fix: Apply Template no longer copies the output file name from the template to the current project
- Fix: when loading images from a Nikon D700 with a DX lens, the sensor size was incorrectly reported as full frame (while DX lenses use only a part of the sensor)
- Fix: Dark area in zenith or nadir for specific panoramas
- Fix: Certain HDR stitches could result in a completely black output
- Fix: incorrect repositioning of panorama when dragging a sherical panorama in the panorama editor from or to the zenith or nadir
- Fix: crash during tone mapping or in the tone mapping preview window
- Version 8.1.4 (1 April 2009)
- Fix: Version 8.1.3 created too bright and washed out output files when stitching HDR source images
- Version 8.1.3 (1 April 2009)
- Only one instance of Enblend and Smartblend is launched. Previously multiple copies were launched when blending the blend planes of HDR panoramas on multi core machines
- Sony .arw and Pentax .pef RAW formats are now supported (through dcraw)
- If optimization fails, PTGui since version 8.1 asks whether the project should be re-initialized. This is no longer asked for projects with viewpoint optimization. Further this question can now be disabled in the Project Settings and by selecting the 'do not ask this again' checkbox. The OK/Cancel buttons have been replaced by more appropriate Yes/No buttons.
- More descriptive warning message when doing 'save and send to batch stitcher' for projects for which the batch stitcher is configured to generate control points
- Fix: if a project was set to be optimized using Panorama Tools, generating control points failed
- Fix: when stitching and blending RAW source images using Enblend or Smartblend, the resulting output would be too bright
- Fix: incorrect HDR merge under certain circumstances, causing output files with a 'posterized' look
- PTGui Pro: warning in Project Settings - File Naming if the default panorama file name is overridden in the Create Panorama tab
- Fix: preview image in tone mapping and exposure fusion settings window could have a wrong aspect ratio for certain output projections
- Mac: Batch Stitcher: new function 'Tools -> New PTGui Window' for launching a new PTGui window
- Fix: possible out of memory errors when outputting 'Individual HDR layers'
- Fix: .exr outpout could contain negative pixel values
- Version 8.1.2 (26 February 2009)
- Fix: source images with the .hdr extension were not loaded correctly
- Image with corrupt EXIF data will still be loaded, instead of aborting with an error
- Version 8.1.1 (24 February 2009)
- Fix: Project Settings would be reset to the default values after running the Panotools optimizer
- Fix: Error 'Unknown EXIF Data Type' when loading certain JPEG files
- Version 8.1 (19 February 2009)
- New panorama projections: Vedutismo and Stereographic
- Compressed projections: Rectilinear, Cylindral and Fullframe projections can now be compressed near the edges, to reduce the stretching effect in extremely wide angle panoramas. See the Projection Settings button in the Panorama Editor.
- PTGui now uses interpolators with a dynamic kernel size. This ensures high quality interpolation over the entire panorama. For example in a rectilinear panorama pixels in the edges are more stretched than those in the center. The interpolator kernel is now adjusted accordingly, which prevents blurring or aliasing artefacts that would occur with a uniform interpolator.
- Support for reading most types of camera RAW files. RAW support is provided through the dcraw executable. Please note that RAW conversion adjustments are limited; for full control over the RAW conversion result a third party raw converter is recommended.
- PTGui Pro: new Batch Builder for automated detection and stitching of a large number of panoramas. The Batch Builder is launched from the Tools menu. Panoramas can be detected based on the EXIF shooting date, or PTGui Pro can create projects for all images in each subfolder.
- PTGui Pro: new tab: Project Settings
- PTGui Pro: behaviour of the Align Images function is now completely configurable (Project Settings tab). You can for example tell PTGui Pro not to choose a suitable projection and field of view, but instead keep the current project settings. This is in particular useful when working with templates.
- PTGui Pro: default output file and folder names are configurable per project and per template (Project Settings tab).
- PTGui Pro: The Batch Stitcher can now generate control points and align images (if configured in a project's Project Settings tab).
- PTGui Pro: Batch Stitcher can load and save 'Batch Lists', which contain a list of jobs to be stitched.
- Batch Stitcher: pause button
- Batch Stitcher: redesigned Jobs list. When a batch stitcher job is finished, the job is marked as 'done' but stays in the list.
- Batch Stitcher: in case of an error, the error is logged and the batch stitcher continues with the next job
- Batch Stitcher: a project in the list of jobs can be opened in PTGui by double clicking, pressing Enter or through the right-click context menu
- 'Send to Batch Stitcher' is replaced by 'Save and send to Batch Stitcher'. In previous versions a temporary copy of the project was sent to the batch stitcher, but now the actual project file is sent (this is necessary for the batch stitcher to be able to add control points to the project).
- New menu item: Project -> Send Temporary Copy to Batch Stitcher. This behaves like the 'Send to Batch Stitcher' button of the previous versions.
- Windows: The smartblend/enblend console windows are now hidden by default (can be made visible through Options/Advanced). This allows PTGui to capture and display any error messages.
- Crop settings of all images are now linked by default: changes to the crop of one image are automatically applied to all images. One can use 'individual crop' to override the crop settings for an image. Crop linking correctly handles the case where some images are rotated (as is the case when a nadir image is taken with the camera's rotation sensor enabled).
- If no template folder is configured, PTGui will create and use a default folder in the user's home directory (Application Data / Library)
- New function: File -> Save as Template. This saves a copy of the project to the template folder but keeps the current project open
- Control Points / Crop tab: rotation is now done by buttons instead of a drop down listbox
- Control Points tab: bottom panel can be resized by dragging a splitter
- Transparency is now indicated by a white/grey checkered pattern
- Mac: Batch Stitcher and Help window now popup above the PTGui main window, instead of behind it
- AltiVec / SSE acceleration can be disabled (to work around CPU bugs), see Tools/Options/Advanced
- Blending in Panorama Editor can be disabled (in the Panorama Editor Mode menu)
- The menu bar has been reorganized: Utilities menu is combined into the Tools menu; Auto Update Warped thumbnails setting is moved to the Panorama Editor menu; Recent projects list is now a submenu in the File menu
- Quickly open one of the relevant folders (e.g. source image folder, output folder, template folder) in Explorer or Finder, see Tools | Open Folder
- Right-clicking in Source Images tab opens context menu
- New function: Image->Open Containing Folder: shows the source image folder in Explorer/Finder
- Simplified layout of the Project Assistant tab
- If the output folder does not exist, PTGui now aborts with an error before the stitching starts (instead of at the end of the stitching process)
- Option to remove the current PTGui registration key from this computer (About - Register - Deactivate)
- The registration key for a company license can now be stored for all users on the current computer. To do so, go to About - Register and re-enter your existing registration key.
- Support for true relative file names for source images. Previously the absolute path of source images was always written to the project file, except when the source image resided in the same folder as the project file. Now relative paths are used when the source image is in any folder (but in Windows restricted to the same drive). This can be disabled per project in the Project Settings tab in PTGui Pro.
- New configuration file:
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\PTGui\Configuration.xml (Vista)
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\PTGui\Configuration.xml (XP)
/home/<User>/Library/Application Support/PTGui/Configuration.xml (Mac)
The registry is no longer used on Windows. When moving PTGui to a different computer, only this folder needs to be copied to keep the entire configuration.
- Fix: Problem with automatically reloading of source images: sometimes reload would be initiated while the other application is still busy writing the modified image. Now waits until no changes have been made to the file for at least one second.
- New function: Project -> Initialize and Optimize: this will arrange the images from scratch, based on the control points, and then do a full optimization. Can be used to recover from the situation where the optimizer gets stuck in a local minimum.
- If the optimization result is very bad, PTGui will offer to do Initialize and Optimize (see previous)
- New menu item: Project -> Align Images, with the same functionality as Align Images in the Project Assistant
- By default, images with EXIF 'Orientation' tag are now loaded rotated. Previously the images were loaded unrotated but the roll was set to +/- 90 degrees. The old behaviour is kept for projects originally created in a previous version of PTGui, and in PTGui Pro this behaviour can still be overridden in the Project Settings tab (but only before loading the first image). The new behaviour is compatible with Photoshop and other image editing applications.
- Warning if expected TIFF/PSD file size is larger than 2 GB, and error if larger than 4 GB
- Pressing F5 still runs the optimizer but no longer switches to the Optimizer tab
- PTGui now issues an error message if the output file name is equal to one of the source images
- EXIF sensor size data for new cameras added
- Fix: More descriptive error message if the control point generator is run for a non supported lens type
- Fix: Control point generator failed, or found inaccurate control points, for projects with Viewpoint parameters set
- Fix: visible line at the 360 degree border for certain projects
- Fix: keyboard shortcut for 'Generate control points for selected images' was not working; changed to Ctrl+Shift+G
- Fix: 'always on top' did not work on 64 bit windows
- Fix: for rectilinear panoramas with a wide field of view, parts of source images could be cut off
- Fix: Windows: scrollbars in Control Points tab would sometimes disappear after resizing the window
- Fix: If a project is switched from Advanced to Simple mode, all advanced settings (i.e. the settings that become invisible in Simple mode) are now properly reset to their default values
- Fix: Stitching 16 bit source images to 8 bit output could result in visible banding
- Fix: OpenEXR images are now loaded according to the configured display window (previously the data window was used and the display window was ignored)
- Fix: Mac: drag and drop to batch stitcher did not always work
- Version 8.0.2 (10 September 2008)
- Fix: PowerPC Mac only: transparent 'holes' in generated panoramas
- Version 8.0.1 (9 September 2008)
- Faster stitching and blending on PowerPC Macs
- Fix: occasional crash
- Version 8.0 (2 September 2008)
- Redesigned memory management, resulting in faster stitching
- The 64 bit version (PTGui Pro for Windows only) now efficiently uses all RAM on 64 bit Windows systems, resulting in faster stitching of large panoramas
- Output crop feature: drag the edges of the panorama in the Panorama Editor to crop
- New blender: faster, requires less memory and gives better blending quality
- Panorama Editor now shows blended panorama
- Source images are automatically reloaded if the original file on disk is modified
- Control point generator is more sensitive
- Improved blending and exposure fusion at nadir and zenith of 360 x 180 degree spherical panoramas
- GPS support: If the EXIF data of one or more source images contain GPS coordinates, the coordinates are averaged and copied to the output (currently works for JPEG and TIFF only)
- Exchanging projects between the Mac and Windows versions of PTGui is now supported by replacing the path separator in file names (slash or backslash)
- Ability to output 'flattened' .psb and .psd files, with only a background layer. This can be selected by pressing the 'Settings' button in the Create Panorama tab. Please note that Photoshop does not support transparency in flattened images.
- Options/Preferences: 'Show Exif dialog' option removed (obsoleted by the 'Automatic' checkbox in Project Assistant)
- Create Panorama button in Project Assistant becomes enabled after applying a template, even if there are no control points
- After running Align Images in the Project Assistant, the panorama size is set to the optimum size, but limited to 20 megapixels (was 4 megapixels)
- When optimizing using PTOptimizer, control point errors are now calculated at the 'optimum size' of the panorama. Thus the reported quality of optimization no longer depends on the configured panorama size.
- PTGui for Windows can now be forced to be running on 1 processor/core only (so called 'processor affinity'). This is a workaround for a Hyperthreading bug in certain older Pentium D processors.
- Added sensor size data of new cameras
- Fix: optimizer bug causing failed optimization if the project has images with a pitch close to +90 or -90 degrees
- Fix: if the size or aspect ratio of a source image was changed after adding it to a PTGui project, PTGui would ignore the change and still use the former size of the image, resulting in incorrect stitching.
- Fix: Mac: PTGui could hang indefinately while waiting for enblend to finish
- Fix: Menu item "Generate Control Points For Images .. and .." would sometimes show the wrong image numbers
- Fix: For line-type control points, selecting a control point in the control point list would not always scroll the control point into view in the Control Points tab
- Fix: PTGui Pro would refuse to use the Panotools optimizer if one of the images had viewpoint correction enabled, even if 'use control points of' for all viewpoint corrected images was disabled.
- Fix: PTGui Pro failed to load certain .hdr files
- Fix: Mac: 'Delete all/worst control points' was sometimes incorrectly greyed out
- Fix: Occasional crashes
- Fix: Mac: loading a corrupt or incompatible jpeg file would cause PTGui to crash
- Fix: Reset button in Exposure/HDR did not reset the Exposure Offset
- Fix: 32 bit tiff source images were degraded to 8 bit
- Version 7.8 (2 April 2008)
- Fix: Checkboxes in Advanced Optimizer tab would sometimes show the wrong value
- Fix: PTGui could crash occasionally
- Version 7.7 (27 March 2008)
- Automatic update check: PTGui can check once a week if a new version is available (configurable in Options).
Upgrading is done without the need to enter a registration key.
- PTGui Pro: added Exposure Fusion. The functionality is similar to Enfuse and Tufuse and built into PTGui Pro.
To use exposure fusion, go to the HDR tab, enable HDR mode and choose 'Method: exposure fusing'. The
Fuse Settings button generates a preview of the fused panorama and provides a way to adjust the parameters
of the fusing algorithm. See the updated HDR tutorial for
more information.
- PTGui Pro: there is now a dedicated 64 bit version for the 64 bit editions of Windows XP and Vista.
- PTGui Pro: the Preview Exposure slider in the Control Points tab can be reset to zero by right-clicking
on the slider.

- Fix: Remapping an equirectangular source image resulted in a semi transparent line at the 360 degree edge
- Fix: Applying a template with a non-circular lens to a project with a circular lens resulted in a wrong crop area
- Fix: Popup help balloons did not appear correctly on Mac
- Version 7.5 (21 December 2007)
- Native QTVR generator; QuickTime is no longer required to generate QTVR output
- QTVR output is now supported on 64 bit Windows platforms too
- Fix: (PTGui Pro) output was reduced to 8 bit when applying exposure / vignetting correction
- Fix: (PTGui Pro) More reliable camera curve generation for bracketed images with large exposure differences
- Fix: PTGui 7.4 for Mac still included the help file of version 7.3
- Version 7.4 (13 December 2007)
- New in PTGui Pro: automatic vignetting and white balance correction. See Vignetting correction tutorial.
- New in PTGui Pro: global exposure and white balance sliders. Uses these to adjust exposure and white
balance of the entire panorama
- New in PTGui Pro: exposure correction. If the images in a panorama were taken with different exposure times
(or automatic exposure), this function adjusts the exposure of each image such that they match.
- Modifying the focal length multiplier now affects the field of view instead of the focal length
- Wider numerical input fields, so that even long values such as 1.234567 fit in
- Warning if project contains horizontal / vertical line control points, but not all pitch/roll are enabled for optimization
- When one or more source images cannot be found, the error message now includes the file name of the first image that could not be found.
- When attempting to stitch a project in Panorama Tools with unsupported features (color/viewpoint correction), PTGui now gives an error message
- New feature: Delete Worst Control Points. This removes the control points with an error significantly larger than the
average control point error (but a minimum of 7 control points per image pair is always kept)
- Fix: 'center panorama' didn't work properly for certain panoramas with a field of view larger than 180 degrees.
- Fix: PTGui could occasionally crash during stitching on multi core computers
- Fix: 'Align Images' sometimes gave a garbled result, with images rotated and wrong lens parameters
- Fix: (PTGui Pro) OpenEXR input and output failed if the file name contains non-latin characters

- Fix: Out of memory errors on 64 bit Windows computers with more than 2 GB of RAM
- Fix: Pressing F5 while editing in Image Parameters table would cause PTGui to hang
- Fix: (PTGui Pro) Apply Template did not copy the Viewpoint parameters
- Fix: not every type of color profile was copied to the tiff or jpeg files generated by PTGui
- Version 7.3 (2 October 2007)
- Support for multiple processors: faster stitching and control point generating on multi-core computers.
- Optimizer uses much less memory when optimizing large panoramas (many source images) and is much faster as well
- Improved response of user interface, in particular on mac (less frequent 'colored ball' cursor)
- Support for .jpe extension for jpeg files, as written by Minolta cameras
- Lens database settings can now be applied to multiple source images simultaneously
- Adjustable grid in panorama editor
- PTGui Pro: new parameters for 'viewpoint correction'. Can be used to correct for images of flat surfaces, photographed from
a different viewpoint. In particular useful for stitching a nadir image of a flat floor, taken from a different viewpoint.
See: Viewpoint correction tutorial
- PTGui Pro: For HDR Projects, the Align Images button now only generates control points between images with the same EV.
- Fix: panorama was sometimes aligned upside down
- Fix: occasional crashes
- Fix: artefacts (tiny horizontal lines) when remapping equirectangular source images
- Fix: panorama editor would not come to the foreground after Align Images
- Fix: Runtime error prevented startup on Windows 98 and ME
- Fix: PTGui would hang upon startup on Norwegian language Macs
- Version 7.2 (28 July 2007)
- Fix: PTGui would hang for a few seconds after running the optimizer
- Version 7.1 (25 July 2007)
- Fix: Stitching to 16 bit output could create horizontal colored stripes in the panorama.
- Help Keyword search function didn't work, temporarily disabled this feature.
- Fix: Optimizing a project containing only Horizontal Line or Vertical Line control point would give error 'nothing to optimize'
- Fix: Rewarping an equirectangular panorama would result in a tiny black line in the result
- For uncompressed TIFF output, 'Compression' tag is omitted for compatibility with other applications
- Fix: output file format would sometimes be reset to JPEG
- Fix: out of memory error when loading very large source images (hundreds of megapixels)
- Fix: out of memory error / backing store errors when writing large jpeg files
- added EXIF sensor size data for new cameras
- Version 7.0 (13 July 2007)
PTGui now comes in a regular and a Pro version. The Pro version supports HDR stitching.
- New output projections have been added (a.o. mercator and transverse projections)
- PTGui can now stitch straight to QTVR format
- QTVR convertor (Utilities menu) to convert equirectangular panoramas to QTVR
- EXIF output: PTGui now writes the original shooting date and exposure data into the EXIF header of generated TIFF and JPEG files. For rectilinear output, the focal length is included as well.
- Control point generator has been improved: detection is more sensitive, and control points are fine tuned more accurately, especially when there are brightness differences between source images
- Warning when starting a project with images in different orientations or aspect ratios
- Thumbnails of zenith and nadir image in Project Assistant are now shown in the same rotation as the other images (they used to be rotated according to the roll value, which doesn't have any meaning for nadir or zenith)
- Control Point Editor: optionally shows information about the pixel under the mouse cursor in the statusbar
- Added keyboard shortcut for Batch Stitcher
- New function: "Level Panorama" in Panorama Editor menu. This levels the panorama according to the horizontal
and vertical line control points. The panorama is levelled without modifying the alignment of the images, much
like the Straighten Panorama function.
- PTGui Optimizer now properly supports Horizontal and Vertical line control points. Optimization is now done in
two passes: The panorama is first optimized, using only the 'Normal' control points.
Next, the panorama is levelled, using only the horizontal/vertical line control points.
- Ctrl+A (Command+A on mac) selects all items in a list (control points, source images, etc)
- Resolution (ppi) of output files is configurable (Create Panorama tab, Advanced section)
- New option: 'load 16 bit images as 8 bit'. If enabled (by default, this was the behaviour of PTGui 6), PTGui will reduce all images to 8 bit for working in the Control Point editor etc. For stitching, the original 16 bit files will be loaded, regardless of this setting
- Speed improvements in optimizer for large projects
- Added EXIF sensor size data of new cameras
- 'Generate Control Points' (in the Control Points menu) can now handle large projects (tested up to 800 images). Optimizer may still run out of memory when optimizing a project with many images and many control points.
- Improved rendering speed of panorama editor, faster response to mouse clicks
- Splash screen upon startup can be disabled in Options/Preferences
- Fix: Keyboard shortcuts for Generate Control Points were missing on PC
- Fix: Keyboard shortcuts modified, to remove duplicates. All Panorama Editor shortcuts now use Ctrl+Shift (Command+Shift on mac)
- Fix: Fill Yaw button didn't see all selected images if the 'Yaw' header column was clicked previously
- Fix: artifacts in panorama editor and stitched panoramas (small clusters of pixels in transparent areas)
- Fix: Stitching to large JPEG output would cause 'Could not create temp file' errors, in particular on Windows
- Fix: After 'Align Images' step, the output size in Create Panorama tab was not updated immediately
- Fix: With multiple instances of PTGui running, sometimes a 'failed to create a temporary file' error occurred.
- Fix: EXIF data from Apple Aperture 1.5.3 was not recognized. Aperture appears to write corrupt EXIF data, but PTGui can now read it.
- Fix: Overwrite warnings are now issued for every file that will be overwritten
- Fix: The menu item "Delete All Control Points" was always active, even when no control points exist to delete.
- Fix: memory leaks
- Fix: crash when loading unsupported jpeg files (g.e. CMYK format). Now gives proper error message.
Mac specific:
- 'New instance' menu item in File menu. This launches a new PTGui window, a workaround for the fact that PTGui is not a true multiple document application.
- Keyboard handling (such as the Tab key) improved
- Fix: Mouse pointer would jump if you click and drag a control point
- Fix: Mouse pointer could disappear if the mouse was moved from the control points window to somewhere outside the PTGui window
- Fix: 'Generate Control Points' menu item (and others) would be incorrectly greyed out
- Fix: Upon startup, the panorama editor and cp table would always be visible. Now the state of the previous session is restored.
PTGui Pro:
- Stitching and blending of HDR images
- Supported HDR file formats: 32 bit TIFF, PSD, PSB, OpenEXR and .hdr files
- Combining multiple LDR exposures into HDR output
- Built in tone mapper
- Source images can be linked, effectively treating them as a single image. This is useful for bracketed exposures, taken with a tripod.
- Built in tone mapper
- Blend Priority (Image Parameters tab): Controls the blend radius for each source image
- Version 6.0.3 (10 october 2006)
- New configuration option for Control Points editor: Only show magnification glass when mouse pointer is in image
- Fix: when using large fonts, parts of the main window were not readable
- Fix: several problems if there were more than 50 templates in the default template folder
- Fix: Nikon Coolpix convertor lens was not recognized
- Fix: Creating large jpeg files could cause a crash. On Windows, 25000x25000 jpeg files can now be created again. On Mac, creating JPEG files of 300 megapixels or more may still fail with an out of memory error. In that case use TIFF format instead.
- Fix: PTGui could crash when exiting the application
Mac specific:
- PTGui now uses the regular font size by default. A smaller font (as used in the previous versions) is configurable in Preferences.
- Optimizer Results window: Enter/Return key now accepts
- Fix: On Macs with non-Intel processors, EXIF data was not read correctly, resulting in a huge focal length value (e.g. 6.0e+7)
- Version 6.0.2 (22 september 2006)
- Control Point tab: bold numbers for images with control points
- Fixed a couple of crashes

- Fix: Preview on Windows using PTViewer.exe failed
- Fix: Keyword search in on line help could crash
- Fix: Apply Crop to All did not function correctly when using circular images
- Version 6.0.1 (15 september 2006)
- Fix: PTGui could crash when warping was done using Panorama Tools and changing the panorama field of view
- Ctrl-T (Cmd-T) shortcut for Apply Template
- File/New now switches to the Project Assistant tab
- blending stage is skipped when the panorama consists of only one image
- PTGui 6 and PTGui 5 can now be used together; plugin paths of old version are not cleared

- PTGui now runs on Mac and Windows!
- New program and toolbar icons
- Help balloons ('click here to return to the project assistant') can be switched off
- Faster stitching of 16 bit images
- A relative path can be entered as the output file. The panorama is saved either in the source image folder or in the project folder (depending on config setting)
- Maximum number of rows of numbered tabs in Control Point editor and Panorama Editor is configurable
- Images can now be removed from the project by pressing the Del key in the Source Images list
- Optimizer is now launched with F5
- New function "Reset Default Project Settings..." in File menu. Removes the saved default settings.
- 'Apply crop to all': if images have different size, and the active image is not cropped, all images will become not cropped (instead of copying the crop area to all images)
- Second step in Project Assistant is now called 'align images' because it does more than just generating control points
- New button: "send to batch stitcher". This replaces the "stitch using batch stitcher" settings in Options. When a batch stitcher is running, the project is added to the list of projects in the batch stitcher, instead of launching a new instance.

transparent areas
- Improved .png reader. Now supports transparency and 16 bit .png images.
- New project is now called Untitled.pts instead of New Project.pts (single word filenames
are easier to handle)
- Support for the Orientation EXIF tag in JPEG files. This tag is set for example by the rotation sensor of
Canon cameras. If this feature is enabled, PTGui will load such images with the correct rotation.
For compatibility reasons, this feature should be enabled in the Options.

recommended.
- Better memory management on Windows 95/98/ME allows larger panoramas to be stitched.
(for very large panoramas, Windows 2000 or XP is recommended due to virtual memory limitations
in the Win9x kernel).
- Reduced memory usage for blender allows larger panoramas to be stitched
- 'Link Scrollbars' and 'Auto Add' now work after 2 control points (instead of 3) and can be configured to work
without any existing control points, by using the orientation of the images in the panorama (the old PTGui 4.x
behaviour).
