What's new

v11.9 [Dec 17, 2018]
- Changed the curve of the Pencil Size slider in the Mask tab. Smaller sizes now make up a larger portion of the slider.
- Added Russian translation (thanks Andrey Ilyin!) and improved other translations (thanks Harald Bendschneider, Helmuth E. Günther, Thomas Bredenfeld, Erik Krause, Jeasung Park, Mario Carvajal, Lopertyur).
- Keyboard shortcut Shift Ctrl/Cmd J for 'Generate control points for all overlapping images'.
- Batch Stitcher: new context menu item: Open Containing Folder; opens the project file location in Finder / Explorer.
- Added lens profile for Kandao Obsidian R.
- Fixed: Batch Stitcher: if Project Settings - Batch Stitcher Actions - 'only if enough control points found' is selected, and insufficient control points were found, the project would be marked as Done (with a green check mark). Now it will be marked in the Batch Stitcher as Failed (with a red cross).
- Fixed: 'assertion failed' error when loading images from certain cameras.
- Fixed: layer names in Photoshop output were garbled if they contained non-ascii characters.
- Fixed: numbering for individual image layers in Photoshop output would start from 0 instead of 1.
- Fixed: individual layers would be output in a different order than in which they appeared in the project. They now follow the same order again.
- Fixed: when outputting individual layers, PTGui could skip images if they were outside the visible area of the panorama. Now a file (or Photoshop layer) will be created for every source image.
- Fixed: crash when deleting all images except one from a set of linked bracketed images.
- Fixed: manually linking images (by right clicking in the Source Images tab) would change the order of the images.
- Fixed: on Windows, PTGui would by default use the language selected in 'Regional Settings' in Control Panel. It will now use the language selected in Preferred Languages in Region and Language. This default language can be overridden in Options.
- Fixed: Mac: Tools - Open Folder would not open the selected folder, but its parent folder.

v11.6 [Jul 24, 2018]
- PTGui can now be activated automatically on multiple computers in a network using a provisioning file. See Q2.10 for more information.
- Fixed: certain papywizard files were not imported correctly for HDR panoramas containing bracketed images.

v10.0.19 [Feb 24, 2014]
Fix: Version 10.0.4 failed to launch on computers without support for OpenCL

v9.1.9 [Aug 12, 2011]
- Fix: linked images could get different parameters after optimization
- Fix: 'Assertion Failed' after aligning bracketed images
- Fix: Using Align Images after predefining the panorama geometry (through Align To Grid) did not work well if no control points were found for image 0, because image 0 is by default used as anchor image for optimization. In this case PTGui now chooses a suitable anchor image from the largest cluster and attempts to move the orphaned images with this largest cluster.
- Fix: in Crop Tab, mouse pointer did not change to an arrow when hovering over the crop circle if it was outside the image boundaries
- Fix: after applying a template the 'EV' column in the Image Parameters tab could be empty
- Fix: Generating control points for a rectangular area could create control points overlapping with existing points
- Fix: Holding down the Alt key did not slow down the mouse (Windows only)
- Fix: copying/pasting/saving/loading masks did not function correctly
- Fix: PTGui refused to write Photoshop .psb files wider or taller than 300,000 pixels, aborting with an error message after stitching. The current version will only give a warning message before stitching.
- Fix: Undo did not work correctly when rotating an image in the Control Points/Mask/Crop tabs
- Fix: Publish To Website: selecting 'Use custom template' but not giving a template file name now gives a more descriptive error message
- Fix: mac: unavailable menu items were never greyed out
- Fix: mac: when control+dragging in the panorama editor, if the control key was released before the mouse button, rotation would continue even after releasing the mouse button
- Fix: mac: Ghost Cursor could be positioned incorrectly when hovering over the left image in the Control Points tab
- Fix: Clicking the Remove Excluded Images could crash or hang PTGui
- Fix: Windows: after restarting PTGui popup windows (panorama editor, detail viewer) could be placed invisibly behind the taskbar
- Publish to Website: if Resolution is set to Automatic the output is now limited to 60 megapixels. Larger output is possible by overriding the automatic setting but such a panorama may not be displayed reliably on every computer.
- Optimizer now better keeps any orphaned images together with the rest of the panorama
- Context menu in Source Images tab: added 'Clear Mask' option
- Context menu in Mask tab: added options for copying/pasting/saving/loading/clearing masks
- Mask tab: added copy/paste buttons to the toolbars below the images
- New default file naming option: 'prefix source image folder name'. When used (e.g.) in the batch builder, the project files get the name of the folder containing the source images.
- New menu item and keyboard shortcut for switching between single and dual image display in the Mask tab
- Detail viewer now offers two modes for navigation: 'drag and hold' and 'drag to move'
- New import function for Papywizard data files (in File -> Import menu). Only the yaw and pitch angles are imported, other settings are assumed to be taken from the EXIF data
- Added sensor size data for new cameras
- Bundled dcraw is updated to version 9.10
- PTGui Viewer: can now add custom parameters to the Flash tag, for example to add wmode=transparent. See documentation inside PTGuiViewer.js.
- 'Correct' function is removed from the Source Images tab, since pano12 library is no longer supported
- PTGui for Mac now requires an Intel processor, PowerPC is no longer supported.
