#AUTOPANO GIGA PANO VIEWER UPDATE#

you will then need to update (and pay a nominal fee for) the more recent version that includes the tooling.

#AUTOPANO GIGA PANO VIEWER LICENSE KEY#

I was very late in finding this out but if you licensed Panotour, you can apply for a KRPano license key through the 'license' tab.

#AUTOPANO GIGA PANO VIEWER SOFTWARE#

Update: Virtual tour software KRPano was used as the engine of Panotour.

I'll do a more detailed review of its capability next month. I haven't done anything like as much work with it as I have PTGui, but what I see, I like. They create a Virtual Tour software that is roughly the same as PanoTour. The mysteriously named Garden Gnome software have been around sufficiently long to inspire confidence in their longevity. I'm very happy to use PTGui moving forwards. In fact this is no bad thing as Photoshop is a lot better than Autopano at handling layers. This requires an intermediate step, exporting the pano with a 90° pitch adjustment to photoshop to do the patching operation. On the downside there is no inbuilt method of inserting patches to cover the Nadir and Zenith. The stitching engine gets more right first time than Autopano, distortion is less and the key point editor is more user friendly.

I have recreated several of my panoramas in PTGui and I'm impressed, very impressed. PTGui is a direct replacement for Autopano Giga and has come on in leaps and bounds over the past few years. Panorama created with PTGui, Photoshop and Pano2VR This content requires HTML5/CSS3, WebGL, or Adobe Flash Player Version 9 or higher. The discontinuation of support for the Kolor tooling means that sooner or later, as Operating Systems are updated and browser capability evolves, the tooling will become obsolete and in the worst case, break. The combined price of the tooling was in excess of £400 and investment on that level is beyond the reach of non professional photographers. The knock on effect of all this on the photographers that relied on the Kolor tools to create Panoramas and Virtual Tours has been catastrophic. Overextended by the buying spree and suffering from lukewarm reviews and an aggressive competitor the company began to wobble and if rumours are to be believed is up for sale at a bargain basement price. Having taken their eye off their bread and butter market, the GoPro Hero series of action cameras, in order to become a media company, they allowed DJI to move on their market with the superior Osmo camera and stabilising grip. Overcapture, a beast of a software that requires the mother of all processors to function. GoPro then developed the GoPro Fusion, one of the better 360° Video cameras and then mystifyingly, instead of working to integrate the already excellent Kolor tools, designed new tooling from the bottom up. – The flat image has stitching mistakes, how can they be corrected, at which stage? Befor rendering, or afterwards, e.g.Panotour pulled off the same trick with 360° Virtual Tour creation and display. I created my first panoramic image, and rendered it. To begin with I purchased the stitching software Autopano Giga. Hello everyone! I am a beginner, and I would greatly appreciate some assistance in clarifying and understanding some issues and questions so I understand the basic principles of creating panoramic images and tours.
