Product Description:

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.

Version 8.1.3 created too bright and washed out output files when stitching HDR source images

Just a comment on the price. This is 79 Euros not USD. In USD it is $122 and that is for the personal edition. If you want the pro version that will run you $230 USD. That's pretty expensive for shareware!

Hugin? But here's a thought... - Version: 8.1.4, 4/1/2009 05:46PM PST

Let me just point out something that for me is the total clincher in PTGUI's defense for the shareware fee. Automatic control point generation, and I'll say this, it's awesome. Since switching to PTGUI I don't generate them by hand at all. Using other software it was THE most boring thing to do. PTGUI can accurately generate hundreds for each pair of photos in a few seconds.

Now, Hugin, thought I'd just have a look as someone mentioned it and I see this in the manual... "For the first control point you will then need to go to the other image and click the corresponding location". Erm, okay, that would be a little like taking my computer away and giving me back a typewriter. I'm not knocking Hugin, but to call it a perfect freeware alternative is only fair if you ignore a feature in PTGUI of such MAMMOTH time saving proportions as AUTO CONTROL POINTS. Sorry, I know it's not an in-depth review, but hopefully that will give some people something significant to test between the two :)
