Stitching bracketed exposures into an HDR panoramaĢ. PTGui Pro provides extensive support for HDR imaging:ġ. For more information about HDR and tone mapping. Tone mapping makes local brightness adjustments to the image, to reduce the dynamic range such that it becomes suitable for display or print. Since the contrast of a computer monitor and paper ink is limited as well, HDR images are tone mapped before display.
PTGUI PRO LOGO 32 BIT
Such a combined image has a higher dynamic range, and is typically stored in a 32 bit per channel image file (regular jpeg files have only 8 bits). High Dynamic Range (HDR) photography attempts to overcome this limitation, by combining multiple differently exposed photographs of the same scene (so called 'bracketed' exposures) into a single image. Updates will be downloadable from this website * The Panorama Tools stitcher and optimizer are not supported (only the built-in PTGui stitcher and optimizer) * Saves only the first 2 images of panorama * Stitched panoramas will have a visible watermark * Configurable Project Settings: control the behaviour of templates, custom default file names and more * Global adjustment of exposure and white balance * Vignetting, exposure and white balance correction * Blend Priority parameter (useful for blending the nadir image in a spherical panorama) * Support for OpenEXR (.exr) and HDR Radiance (.hdr) source images * Calculate camera response curve from bracketed LDR source images * Stitch and blend bracketed LDR source images into an HDR panorama * Stitch and blend HDR source images into an HDR panorama * Support for Batch Lists (save and load a list of jobs for the Batch Stitcher) * Batch Builder: scan folders for panoramic source images and automatically create projects based on a template * Batch Stitcher can generate control points and set up a panorama * Batch stitcher: prepare your projects and send them to the batch stitcher for stitching when you are away from your computer * Create templates with frequently used settings * Support for multiple processors / multiple core computers * QTVR ouput: directly create interactive QuickTime VR panoramas, or convert an existing panorama into QTVR format

* Panorama editor: interactive adjustment of the panorama perspective
PTGUI PRO LOGO FULL
* Full support for 16 bit images, for the best image quality * Layered Photoshop output, ideal for retouching * Photoshop large document (.psb) support (output only)

* Create panoramas in jpeg, tiff or Photoshop format * Support for many camera RAW source images (through dcraw) * Support for jpeg, tiff and png source images * Create HUGE panoramas: stitch hundreds of images into multi gigapixel panoramas * Multi row panoramas: images can be stacked both horizontally and vertically * Live preview: instantly see the effect of different settings, without the need to stitch first
PTGUI PRO LOGO MANUAL
* Manual mode: full control over the final result * Automatic stitching: create panoramas with just a few mouse clicks The main difference between the two versions is support for HDR stitching, viewpoint correction and vignetting, exposure and white balance correction in PTGui Pro PTGui comes in two versions: PTGui and PTGui Pro. This tutorial explains the concept and helps you get started. It supports the creation of HDR (High Dynamic Range) panoramas. Originally developed as a Graphical User Interface for Panorama Tools (hence the name), PTGui now is a full featured photo stitching application. PTGui Pro is panoramic stitching software for Windows and Mac OSX.
