In the 'merge to HDR, then blend' workflow these linked images will be combined to a single HDR source image.

#Ptgui software pro

In PTGui Pro 12, linking the images will tell PTGui Pro that they belong to the same bracketed set but they don't necessarily have the exact same yaw, pitch and roll.

The purpose of linking images has changed: in PTGui Pro 11, linked images would get the same yaw, pitch and roll angles but linking did not otherwise affect HDR processing.

The new workflow permits creating HDR panoramas from images taken in automatic exposure mode. PTGui Pro 11 and earlier would use the reverse workflow: create blend planes for each exposure level, then merge to HDR.

New HDR workflow: Merge bracketed images to HDR first, then blend.

The Multiband blending algorithm used in PTGui 11 and earlier is still available as an option. Combined with the new optimum seam placement this is able to create absolutely seamless panoramas even of busy scenes with many moving objects. No overlap is needed and pixels outside the seams are not used.

New 'zero overlap' blending algorithm: blending is done by minimizing the exposure differences at the seams where the images meet.

Also, stitching errors from parallax will be hidden as much as possible. It will attempt to automatically route the seams around moving objects.

Automatic optimum seam placement: PTGui Pro 12 will analyze the regions where images overlap, and place the seams in those areas where there is the least difference between the overlapping images.

PTGui 12 features a new and improved blender, automatic optimum seam placement (in the Pro version) and much more! For an overview of the most important changes see What's new in PTGui 12.

Fixed: possible Assertion Failed errors for some projects.

Fixed: Blending artifacts if the option 'Red masks: use only to adjust seams' was selected.

Fixed: Apply Template did not copy the Post Process settings to the project.Fixed: If the Batch Builder was used without a template, bracketed images would not be linked automatically.Fixed: In the panorama editor, in 'edit individual images' mode, when hovering over images, the wrong image would flash briefly.Fixed: Camera database: if there was an entry for 'unknown camera (no EXIF data)', it would be lost after restarting PTGui.Fixed: Cropping circle of the TTArtisan 11mm lens (only visible on medium format camera) was set too small.Some performance improvements, in particular when GPU acceleration is not used.Faster switching of images in the Crop/Mask/Control Points tabs when using bracketed linked images.De changelog sinds versie 11.32 ziet er als volgt uit: Changes in version 12.1

#Ptgui software update

Eerder deze maand is versie 12 uitgekomen en nu is de eerste update verschenen, een bugfix-release. Het beschikt over verschillende opties, waarbij het met PTGui Pro ook mogelijk wordt om onder andere hdr-foto's te combineren, bewegende objecten te maskeren en het kijkpunt aan te passen. Voor het rekenintensieve deel kan bovendien via OpenCL de gpu worden ingezet om sneller klaar te zijn. Met een stapel foto's als invoer kan het programma op zowel macOS- als Windows-computers zelf uitzoeken hoe ze naast elkaar gezet moeten worden. Dat kan een verticaal of horizontaal panorama zijn, maar ook één groot beeld met een enorme resolutie dat samengesteld is uit talloze afzonderlijke opnames. Dit programma richt zich op het maken en aanpassen van samengestelde beelden.
