PanoramaStudio 4

Stitch Photos Into Huge, Seamless Panoramas in No Time at All

PanoramaStudio is a panorama stitcher with extensive features for creating panoramas as well as for editing and post-processing the stitched panoramas.
Even the standard version offers the option of saving in various image formats, of printing with a poster printing function and of exporting as interactive 3D panorama or virtual tour consisting of multiple linked panoramas.
The application combines the simple creation of perfect panoramas in just a few steps with numerous editing options.

Key features

Panorama creation

  • Automatic stitching of arbitrary image arrangements into seamless panoramas
  • Automatic correction of exposure mismatches, brightness and vignetting
  • Various projections for visualization (spherical / equirectangular, cylindrical, Little Planets)

Supported cameras and lenses

  • Processing of photos from any conventional camera
  • Recognition of more than 2750 cameras based on their Exif data
  • Automatic correction of lens distortion

Editing

  • Manual correction of all individual steps, for example with the control point editor or the masking tool
  • Dynamic preview in a 2D or 3D view
  • Numerous non-destructive image processing filters
  • Real-time preview of most editing steps and filters

Import/Export

  • Export of interactive HTML5 panoramas and virtual tours for local viewing or embedding in websites
  • Import/export of the most common image formats
  • Direct import of more than 1180 RAW formats
  • Poster printing function


New in version 4.0

  • Improved quality. All panoramas are now processed internally in an HDR color space (standard and Pro version).
  • The new Renderer provides a significant increase in performance - it is typically around 2x to 3x faster than before.
  • There are even greater performance gains in some cases with "adaptive blending" (anti-ghost) and with large gigapixel panoramas.
  • Improved adaptive blending. The adaptive blending, which determines optimum seams between the input images to avoid ghosting in dynamic scenes and achieve seamless transitions, now delivers better results in many cases and is also significantly faster.
  • New real-time preview. Previously, the preview just showed the images in an overlapping manner. Two new modes have been added at this point, linear blending and multi-band blending, with the latter already being very close to the final image. All these modes show a preview of the panorama in real-time in either a 2D or 3D view.
  • New non-destructive image processing filters. To refine and improve the appearance of the panorama directly in PanoramaStudio a range of filters are available in the categories Light & Color, Tone Curve and Color Balance. All these filters are non-destructive, meaning that they do not change the underlying image and can still be adjusted until the panorama is exported.
  • Redesigned image export. The color depth and color space of the images can still be configured when they are saved. This allows for example that panoramas can be exported in a higher color depth and with a larger color space than the individual input images.
  • The RAW import is now up to date again and includes an additional function for reconstructing highlights.
  • Exporting large (gigapixel) panoramas as interactive panoramas is now much faster.
  • The new version of the PanoramaStudio Viewer:
    • offers more options for the Autoplay (relative speed, tilting back to initial level)
    • can play virtual tours as a animated slide show
    • includes improved hotspot positioning
    • provides an optional Close button
    • has an improved performance
    • has been adapted to current browsers
  • The Mac version runs now natively on both Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3) and Intel-based Macs
  • ... and many more small improvements.
