![]() The Pro uses essentially the same algorithms as Giga however, In addition to supporting GigaPan, Merlin and Panogear heads, Giga includes support for Clauss motorized heads. Kolor Autopano boasts possibly the best algorithms on the market. Autopano Pro/Giga, Windows & Mac, Free trial + € 99 for Pro/€ 199 for Giga, with additional education pricing policies Note: PTGui offers a Pro subscription, which has additional features that support HDR stitching, masking, viewpoint correction and vignetting, exposure and white balance correction. For a more detailed comparison between PTGui and PTGui Pro, refer to this chart made by PTGui. PTGUI only recognizes series of HDR images by them having identical FNO and shutter speed, and if your camera was on auto when your HDR series was taken, you might have to edit them manually. The free version of PTGui produces stitches with conspicuous watermarks. If you own a Mac and have just upgraded your OS to High Sierra, bad news: PTGui doesn’t support High Sierra yet. ![]() Here we collected some of the best alternatives to PTGui in case this software isn’t working out for you. In spites of its simple UI and lightening-fast, it doesn’t come without flaws (don’t we all). Short for Panorama Tools Graphic User Interface, it has a basic interface catered to beginners and more advanced options for professionals, making it one of the most versatile editing options. PTGui is a leading editing software for stitching 360/panoramic photos, compatible with Windows and Mac OS X. Kolor, makers of VR stitching software Autopano Video and Autopano Giga, and virtual tour software Panotour, announced that they are closing their doors effective September 14, 2018.Top 8 360 Photo Stitching Software Alternative to PTGui Kolor products will no longer be sold on, nor will the software be updated. However, GoPro Fusion Studio and GoPro VR Plugin will continue to be available here. Kolor was purchased by GoPro in late April 2015. Its Autopano stitching software and Panotour virtual tour software have been among the leading products in the 360 and VR industry. However, GoPro has been under a lot of financial pressure due to declining sales and its stock plummeted in August 2015. Although GoPro’s stock has improved in the last 4 months, and even recently set a new high for 2018, Kolor’s closing appears to be a direct consequence of GoPro’s financial issues. What is surprising to me is why GoPro didn’t sell Kolor’s intellectual property to Adobe or other companies (perhaps it might still happen). Hopefully Kolor’s closure leads to a stronger GoPro and to increased business for PTGui and Mistika, and virtual tour software such as Pano2VR. Thanks to Pepe Vazquez (360 Tips & Tricks) for bringing this to my attention!įor Kolor Panotour users here is a comment and some good news from Klaus the developer of Krpano the core on which Panotour is based:įrom krpano side basically nothing will change or be different now. krpano was always fully independent and will be also in future. The krpano development itself is very good ongoing (although a bit slower than wished) and the next release is not far away and will bring some nice new features. ![]() ![]() Maybe one thing – I was already working on improving the krpano GUI editing functionalities for a long time and now without Panotour I will probably accelerate the development in that direction. What does this mean for Panotour Pro users?Īs Kolor closes there will be no official Panotour Pro development anymore, but using the software itself will be still possible. #DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AUTOPANO PRO AND GIGA 4 SOFTWARE# With the last Panotour Pro release (version 2.5.14) Kolor has opened the access to its previously internal template files to make it possible to edit or update them manually. #DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AUTOPANO PRO AND GIGA 4 UPDATE# That means some updates to Panotour Pro are still possible. I will try to use that new opened access to provide ‘update-packages’ for Panotour Pro when new krpano versions will be released. One important note here – Panotour Pro includes an exportable krpano license – and if you haven’t already exported that license, I would recommend doing that as soon as possible! The license export will be only possible as long as the license servers from Kolor are working! This should make it easier to use the latest krpano version in Panotour Pro and maybe also add some fixes to some templates when necessary. #DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AUTOPANO PRO AND GIGA 4 SOFTWARE#.#DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AUTOPANO PRO AND GIGA 4 UPDATE#.
