The control points editor simultaneously shows all control points for the combined images in two bracketed sets. So for example, when using 3 step bracketing you now only have to deal with 5 merged images instead of 15 individual images. Each bracketed set is represented by a single exposure fused thumbnail image. Throughout the entire user interface bracketed sets of images are now treated as a single image. In the Pro version handling of HDR panoramas has been much improved. And PTGui 11 is fully compatible with Retina screens and supports per-monitor high DPI under Windows. in the Control Points tab) have been replaced with image thumbnails, so you can see which image is which. The numbered tabs for selecting images (e.g. The side bar can be collapsed to make more space available.
The familiar row of tabs at the top of the window have been moved to a vertical panel at the left side, to be more consistent with current user interface concepts. PTGui 11 uses collapsible panels to make the tools available where you need them but without occupying precious screen real estate. The most obvious change is a new modern, dark themed user interface: So we've taken a step back and rebuilt much of PTGui's foundation, and PTGui 11 is the result! So what's new? And of course user interface design has changed a lot over the years and PTGui was starting to look dated. Some of the original design decisions were hampering the implementation of certain features. Over the past 17 years software development technologies have evolved significantly. But we've found that more and more ideas remained on the shelf because they would require major changes to the inner workings of PTGui. Why did it take so long? Over the years we've gathered many ideas for improvements and new functionalities in PTGui and many of those features have been implemented over time. See Q2.3.After more than three years of preparation we're proud to release PTGui 11! The floating license is handled differently: the same license can be installed on many computers only the number of computers that can run PTGui concurrently is limited. Otherwise, offline activation must be repeated manually every 30 days. If an internet connection is available, this happens automatically while PTGui is running. However to prevent abuse of the deactivation facility, PTGui is required to verify the activation status at least once every 30 days. Deactivation may incur a processing time of up to 24 hours.Ī license may be deactivated and reactivated as often as needed. If you can no longer access the computer, go to your account and request us to deactivate your computer. This releases the seat and makes it available for use on another computer. If you move PTGui to a different computer, deactivate the old machine via Help - License Info - Deactivate. It can be activated on this number of computers. Assuming the permitted total number of installations is not exceeded, we will then activate your license on this particular computer.Ī personal license may be activated on 2 computers simultaneously, but only for personal use by the licensed person.Ī company license is purchased for a certain number of seats. This license key together with your computer's hardware configuration is sent to our servers.
