Ptgui Whats New

PTGui (/) MENU What's new in PTGui 9.0? We've added a number of great new features to PTGui 9.0! Below is an overview of the most important changes. For a detailed list of new features and changes see the version history (/versionhistory.html). Read the included online help to learn more about a specific feature: context help is available in most screens by pressing F1 (Windows) or Fn+F1 (Mac), or by clicking the Help button in certain windows. Detail Viewer One of the most requested features is the ability to zoom in the panorama editor; the new Detail Viewer makes this possible. The panorama editor wil continue to show an overview of the complete panorama, while you can freely zoom in on details in the Detail Viewer window. The Detail Viewer shows a continuously updated live preview of a selected part of the panorama at full resolution. Open the Detail Viewer by clicking the button in the Panorama Editor: The Detail Viewer can be toggled between Zoom and Perspective mode. In zoom mode it shows an enlarged crop of the panorama in the original perspective. In Perspective mode the detail view is reprojected to flat (rectilinear projection) like in a spherical panorama viewer: PTGui (/) MENU In Perspective mode the Detail Viewer makes it easy to check the nadir and zenith of a panorama, without the need to render the panorama or create cube faces first: The detail viewer can be navigated by clicking and dragging with the mouse, through the keyboard arrow keys or by moving the magnifier glass to the point of interest in the Panorama Editor. Blend modes Both the Panorama Editor and the Detail Viewer offer 4 different blending modes. In the Show Seams mode the locations of the seams are highlighted by red lines. This makes it easy to spot potential alignment or blending faults: PTGui (/) MENU Masking (PTGui Pro only) The Pro version has a new 'Mask' tab. Masking allows you to hide a part of an image from the final blended panorama (the missing part is filled with content from other overlapping images). Or the other way round: you can force the blender to reveal a certain part of an image by hiding the overlapping parts of other images. To hide something paint it red in the Mask tab: PTGui (/) MENU Or to reveal an object paint it green: For more information about this feature see the tutorial Masking in PTGui Pro (/examples/masktutorial.html). Publish PTGui (/) to Website MENU Publishing an interactive panorama to a website has been possible for years using the QuickTime VR converter in PTGui.…
