PTGui 8.1b1

PTGui is panoramic photo stitching software. Originally developed as a Graphical User Interface for Panorama Tools (hence the name), PTGui now is a full featured photo stitching application.

Use PTGui to stitch any number of photos into a panoramic image. Some benefits of PTGui, when compared to other stitching software:

• PTGui can stitch multiple rows of images
• Create 360 degree cylindrical panoramas, 'flat' partial panoramas and even spherical 360x180 degree panoramas
• No need to keep the camera level: PTGui can stitch rotated and tilted images
• Virtually unlimited output size: create Gigapixel panoramas from hundreds of images!
• Layered output allows full control over the final stitched result
• PTGui stitches most panoramas fully automatically, but at the same time provides full manual control over every single parameter. This enables stitching of 'difficult' scenes, where other programs fail.
• Full 16 bit workflow for best image quality
• And much more...

WHAT'S NEWVersion 8.1beta1:

• Support for reading most types of camera RAW files. RAW support is provided through the (bundled) dcraw executable.
• PTGui Pro: new Batch Builder for automated detection and stitching of a large number of panoramas. The Batch Builder is launched from the Tools menu. Panoramas can be detected based on the EXIF shooting date, or PTGui Pro can create projects for all images in each subfolder.
• PTGui Pro: new tab: Project Settings
• PTGui Pro: behaviour of the Align Images function is now completely configurable (Project Settings tab). You can for example tell PTGui Pro not to choose a suitable projection and field of view, but instead keep the current project settings. This is in particular useful when working with templates.
• PTGui Pro: default output file and folder names are configurable per project and per template (Project Settings tab).
• PTGui Pro: Batch Stitcher can generate control points and align images (if configured in a project's Project Settings tab).
• PTGui Pro: Batch Stitcher can load and save 'Batch Lists', which contain a list of jobs to be stitched.
• Batch Stitcher: pause button
• Batch Stitcher: redesigned Jobs list. When a batch stitcher job is finished, the job is marked as 'done' but stays in the list.
• Batch Stitcher: in case of an error, the error is logged and the batch stitcher continues with the next job
• 'Send to Batch Stitcher' is replaced by 'Save and send to Batch Stitcher'. In previous versions a temporary copy of the project was sent to the batch stitcher, but now the actual project file is sent (this is necessary for the batch stitcher to be able to add control points to the project).
• Windows: The smartblend/enblend console windows are now hidden by default (can be made visible through Options/Advanced). This allows PTGui to capture and display any error messages.
• If a project is switched from Advanced to Simple mode, all advanced settings (i.e. the settings that become invisible in Simple mode) are reset to their default values
• Crop settings of all images are now linked by default: changes to the crop of one image are automatically applied to all images. One can use 'individual crop' to override the crop settings for an image. Crop linking correctly handles the case where some images are rotated (as is the case when a nadir image is taken with the camera's rotation sensor enabled).
• If no template folder is configured, PTGui will create and use a default folder in the user's home directory (Application Data / Library)
• New function: File -> Save as Template. This saves a copy of the project to the template folder but keeps the current project open
• Control Points / Crop tab: rotation is now done by buttons instead of a drop down listbox
• Control Points tab: bottom panel can be resized by dragging a splitter
• Transparency is now indicated by a white/grey checkered pattern
• Mac: Batch Stitcher and Help window now popup above the PTGui main window, instead of behind it
• AltiVec / SSE acceleration can be disabled (to work around CPU bugs)
• Blending in Panorama Editor can be disabled (in the Panorama Editor Mode menu)
• The menu bar has been reorganized: Utilities menu is combined into the Tools menu; Auto Update Warped thumbnails setting is moved to the Panorama Editor menu; Recent projects list is now a submenu in the File menu
• Quickly open one of the relevant folders (e.g. source image folder, output folder, template folder) in Explorer or Finder: Tools - Open Folder
• Right-clicking in Source Images tab opens context menu
• New function: Image->Open Containing Folder: shows the source image folder in Explorer/Finder
• Simplified layout of the Project Assistant tab
• If the output folder does not exist, PTGui now aborts with an error before the stitching starts (instead of at the end of the stitching process)
• Option to remove the current PTGui registration key from this computer (About - Register - Deactivate)
• The registration key for a company license can now be stored for all users on the current computer. To do so, go to About - Register and re-enter your existing registration key.
• Mac: Fix: drag and drop to batch stitcher did not always work
• Support for true relative file names for source images. Previously the absolute path of source images was always written to the project file, except when the source image resided in the same folder as the project file. Now relative paths are used when the source image is in any folder (but in Windows restricted to the same drive). This can be disabled per project in the Project Settings tab in PTGui Pro.
• New configuration file: C:Users<user>AppDataRoamingPTGuiConfiguration.xml (Vista) C:Documents and Settings<user>Application DataPTGuiConfiguration.xml (XP) /home/<User>/Library/Application Support/PTGui/Configuration.xml. The registry is no longer used on Windows. When moving PTGui to a different computer, only this folder needs to be copied to keep the entire configuration.
• Fix: Problem with automatically reloading of source images: sometimes reload would be initiated while the other application is still busy writing the modified image. Now waits until no changes have been made to the file for at least one second.
• New function: Project -> Initialize and Optimize: this will arrange the images from scratch, based on the control points, and then do a full optimization. Can be used to recover from the situation where the optimizer gets stuck in a local minimum.
• New menu item: Project -> Align Images, with the same functionality as Align Images in the Project Assistant
• If the optimization result is very bad, PTGui will offer to do Initialize and Optimize (see previous)
• By default, images with EXIF 'Orientation' tag are now loaded rotated. Previously the images were loaded unrotated but the roll was set to +/- 90 degrees. The old behaviour is kept for projects originally created in a previous version of PTGui, and in PTGui Pro this behaviour can still be overridden in the Project Settings tab (but only before loading the first image). The new behaviour is compatible with Photoshop and other image editing applications.
• OpenEXR images are now loaded according to the configured display window (previously the data window was used and the display window was ignored)
• Fix: Stitching 16 bit source images to 8 bit output could result in visible banding

The following bugs are known and will be fixed in the next beta version:

• Documentation is not yet updated
• Windows: display glitch in the thumbnails in the Image Parameters tab

Since this is a beta version it may contain bugs; therefore your feedback is much appreciated. Please post any bugs, comments to the PTGui Google group.

The Press Trust of India, India's official news agency, also reported that the government was considering suspending the four-year-old peace process with its neighbour./ppJaiswal said there was "no doubt that the terrorists had come from Pakistan ... We have evidence of their nationalities. We will reveal everything soon"./ppA police officer involved in the interrogation of the only attacker captured alive by Indian commandos, named as Ajmal Amir Kasab, a 21-year-old Pakistani, told Reuters the militants had spent months in Pakistan having military-style training. It is believed 10 militants carried out the assault./ppIndia's actions prompted Pakistan to say it would end military operations against Islamist militants on the Afghan border, which are critical to the hunt for al-Qaida-linked militants, due to the "unwanted conflict" with Delhi./ppPakistan's government has condemned the Mumbai assault as a "barbaric act of terrorism" and denied involvement by any "state institutions". But the group named by India, Lashkar-e-Taiba, has longstanding relationships with Pakistan's security establishment./ppIn an interview published this morning, Pakistan's president, Asif Ali Zardari, appealed to India not to punish his country, warning that "non-state actors" could provoke the nuclear-armed neighbours into conflict./pp"Even if the militants are linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, who do you think we are fighting?" he told the Financial Times./ppAs many schools and shops opened this morning for the first time since the attacks on Wednesday evening, state government officials said the final siege site to be cleared, the Taj Mahal hotel, had now been completely checked. The death toll has now been put at 172, including 19 foreigners. One Briton was among the dead./pp"We were apprehensive about more bodies being found. But this is not likely.

India's home minister, Shivraj Patil, stepped down yesterday./ppIndia's ruling Congress party, which faces a general election next year, has been attacked by opponents for being soft on terrorism, a potent charge given that India has suffered a major attack every month this year. The government said last night it would urgently upgrade maritime and air security and look to create a federal investigative agency./ppThe peace process between India and Pakistan now appears in doubt. "There is a view in the government that India should suspend the peace process ... to show that it is not going to take lightly the deadly carnage in Mumbai," the Press Trust of India reported. It quoted sources as saying the government, "including Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, is very upset as it feels that Pakistan has not kept its promise made at the highest level to end terrorism directed at India"./ppLashkar-e-Taiba, which is fighting Indian control of the disputed Kashmir region, was behind a deadly 2001 assault on the Indian parliament that pushed New Delhi and Islamabad to the brink of war./pdiv style="float: left; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px;"ullia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/mumbai-terror-attacks"Mumbai terror attacks/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/terrorism"Global terrorism/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/india"India/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/pakistan"Pakistan/a/lilia href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/usa"United States/a/li/ul/diva href="http://www.guardian.co.uk"guardian.co.uk/a copy; Guardian News Media Limited 2008 | Use of this content is subject to our a href="http://users.guardian.co.uk/help/article/0,,933909,00.html"Terms Conditions/a | a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/webfeeds/1,,1309488,00.html"More Feeds/a pa href="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/07ZvwR_Ib-VMeUVUjIuth1us1O4/a"img src="http://feedads.googleadservices.com/~at/07ZvwR_Ib-VMeUVUjIuth1us1O4/i" border="0" ismap="true"/img/a/p

Quickly seeing all the running programs is far more efficient than having to read through a text-based task list so Task Facade can make task switching a much faster, and cooler, experience.

Task Facade also allows you to quit programs from inside the image view meaning that it does everything your old text-based program manager could do.

As well as just looking generally cooler, Task Facade offers far more customization than before and allows the whole application to be controlled using either your PDAs hardware keys or the stylus.

Changes: # Fix: Communication manager and Desktop were not snapshoted
- Remove: "Window ban" option removed for simplicity and transparency reason. Use "Process barring" instead.
+ No more possibility to close "shell32.exe" process (which is OS itself)
# Fix: 'No animation' scenario (setting nr. of animation frames to zero) repaired. Very cool option, by the way!***BEFORE INSTALL***: Before installing version 3.8, uninstall the previous version AND MANUALLY REMOVE THE 'TASK FACADE' FOLDER from Program Files'. You do not need its old content.

Indeed, Scrum brings more transparency to the software development in corporate environments, compared to the waterfall process. And [...]1 0
