or Exposure-Fusion Using multiple images to produce a Low-Dynamic-Range image of a High-Dynamic-Range scene., saving the need for separate HDR software and allowing the creation of HDR panoramas.

The latter allows PTGui Pro to automatically detect and perform HDR blending Merging multiple exposures to create an image with a High-Dynamic-Range. The former is useful feature to producing a high volume of panoramas such as for Time-Lapse photography Continuous capture of images usually presented as a video sequence. Differences between the Pro and standard versions mostly fall into the Batch-Processing or HDR & Exposure-Fusion category. There are no limits on image size and the 16-bit workflow is supported by both versions. There are two versions of PTGui, the standard one and the Pro version reviewed here. It supports the usual 8-bit workflow, plus a 16-bit workflow for improved image quality. It also provides automatic compensation for image tilt, vignetting and exposure inconsistencies, making it quite resilient to input issues. PTGui is capable of stitching multi-row panoramas up to 360° x 180° field-of-view with virtually no limit on resolution and can produce gigapixel panoramas.

Originally developed as a GUI over the powerful-but-cryptic command-line Panorama Tools, it has evolved into a full-fledge applications for Windows and Mac OS X. I have plenty of external drives (I’ve built my own boxes for years) and I don’t expect to have as many applications on it as I did in the past.ĬA_ thanks for actually answering my questions.PTGui is an advanced panorama software with a high level of control over each step of the stitching process. Most of the Youtubers that recommend 32GB are doing video production. I’m mainly trying to see if there’s a need for 32GB. As I’m retired, everything I do is pretty slow and deliberate. I’m an enthusiast, not doing this for business. I can imagine running two at the same time, but not all three. If you run all three at the same time, I recommend against 8GB memory, but I'm sure you aren't even considering it. So, (I guess this will actually be two questions) is anyone satisfied with the performance of a 16GB M1 Mac working with panoramas or Nikon D850 files on Lr, Ps, and Topaz apps? I’ll have to see how crazy I get with the credit card in hand. A MBP would be great, but I’d rather just edit on the desk.

I tried it as a second monitor, size differential didn’t work and I never figured out how to arrange two screens. When I bought my BenQ, I was using a very nice Asus PA249 24” monitor. I like having multiple screens, so Macbook appeals more than Mini or iMac. I have a UHD (4K) monitor above my Macbook and can say that MacOS has excellent interfaces for an external monitor. The SW2700 is a QHD (256x1440 pixel) monitor. I’m rooted in still photography, not interested in video. I already have an excellent BenQ SW2700 monitor, not interested in 4K, 5K. I don’t particularly need a new laptop, but my retirement budget says I can do either a 16GB M1 Macbook Pro or a 32GB M1 Mac Mini. I’ll try to grab a new copy when I get to it. Then COVID lockdowns hit and I had to settle with backyard macros for a bit. As I approached retirement, I downloaded a copy of PTGui, intending to try it out. I started panos awhile back with Microsoft ICE, but mostly Photoshop and Lightroom (I know, probably the same processing). You’re answering my question, and then some. Mainly one question: does anyone use a 16GB M1 Mac for Nikon D850 files or panoramas?Įven worse - I have converted D850 NEF with DxO PhotoLab on an 8GB M1 Macbook Air. I expect this to run pretty lean, by design… just my photo editing applications and the minor apps that accompany MacOS.

My current box has too many programs from my past careers… AutoCAD, Visual Studio, the full MS Office suite, plus the usual files that pile up over the years. MacOS requires much less disk space than Windows, but I'm not sure the same is true for memory use by OS and applications. I’m in no rush, certainly anticipating the news at Monday’s Apple event.
After 41 years running PCs, I’m planning a jump to a Mac.
