PTGui vs Autopano Pro vs PTAssembler

<< < (20/20)

Johnny V:
Just to let everyone know there are two beta PTGui versions available....regular and Pro....

The new beta version includes new output projections, a QTVR converter
and an improved control point generator.

The Pro version additionally supports a full HDR workflow, from merging
bracketed exposures into HDR, to tone mapping.

The beta version can be downloaded from:
http://www.ptgui.com/beta.html

And a short HDR tutorial to show the workflow:

I just tested the new PTGui beta vs. AutoPano Pro with a 40+ image stitch and both stitches were fairly flawless but as mentioned in my previous post PTGui's file was so much cleaner...had much less noise and inherently sharper. Could be Smartblend or Spline working against AutoPano Pro's sharpness. I'm still on vacation so cannot post images.

If you were using Smart Blender in Autopano - it requires Color correction to be set - this will fix the sky problem.

Absolutely! And you need to set a lot of other 'quality options' for Autopano to do a good job.

As I mentioned before, the default settings when you first open Autopano are designed for speed and to be usable with slow computers. They are not set for maximum quality.

It's perhaps a difficult situation for the promoters. If you are trying to sell a product and are offering a trial download, you don't want the customer to experience a system crash, or an 'out of memory' warning, or a tediously long stitch of a few basic images.
