PTAssembler

PTAssembler is a (Windows) panoramic image stitching software program, able to Create single and multi-row panoramic and high-resolution "mosaic" images. As a software developer and photographer, I have been using PTAssembler for several years to create my own high resolution images. PTAssembler is more Complex than many popular "automagic" stitching programs. But, it is much more powerful and flexible, giving the photographer unparalleled control over the final result. The automagic programs often deliver "pretty good" results. With PTAssembler, perfectly stitched panoramas can be created every time. Stitching images together with PTAssembler gives you complete control over the process. You can choose to "auto-create" a stitched image with little or no manual intervention. Alternatively, you can choose a more manual approach to ensure the absolute highest quality result. And, the two approaches can be also be combined. PTAssembler can output a final image in JPEG, TIFF, PSD, PSB format, or "layered" image file(s) (PSD, PSB or multiple TIFF files) that allows the user to perform the final blending Between adjacent images manually. Features:As the author and frequent user of PTAssembler, my goal is to make the process of creating a panoramic or stitched image as simple as possible, by adding features such as the following: Autocreate a final panorama with little or no manual intervention, or retain complete manual control over all aspects of the panorama creation process. Support for all standard and a number of unique innovative output projection formats. Create seamless, blended output, or multi-layer Photoshop-compatible files. Support for control point picker (Autopano, Autopano-SIFT) plugins. Support for image blending (Smartblend, Enblend) plugins. Support for image stacking (TuFuse, Enfuse, CombineZM) plugins to perform exposure blending and/or focus blending. Support for pre-processing (noise reduction) plugins.
