NEW - 1.4 a3 : extended save as

  • You can now save the .pano project and move / copy pictures files directly by a simple interface
  • Simple template syntaxe to describe .pano relative folder where to put sources files

IMPROVED - 1.4 a2 - Control points color coding and more:

  • adding new cps changes the link into light blue in panorama preview and dark blue in link editor.
  • added cps have their rms calculated
  • adding cp is now a threaded mecanism with progress bar ( to handle long delay in fisheye matching )
  • deleting some cps change the corresponding link to blue.
  • after optimizing, everything goes back to green/orange/red.

IMPROVED - 1.4 a3 - Layer editor :

  • You can copy or move some pictures from layer editor to a new panorama. Select some pictures, right click, move to or copy to new panorama.
  • Group by Bracket : it will reorganize pictures according to the exposure bias.
  • You have access to the circular crop on fisheye picture here ( non central value are now relative and not absolute ).
  • many bug fix on the layer editor

IMPROVED - 1.4 a3 - Render dialog box :

  • Direct display of size of the panorama in inch / mm
  • Improved tree editor for outputing individual pictures / panorama layers

IMPROVED - 1.4 a3 - Panorama editor :

  • Crop : you can fix a ratio ( 2:1 or 6:17 ) when cropping.
  • Crop : direct button to get the full sphere (360x180) zone.
  • The engine behind the panorama editor has been totally changed. It's should be far more stable and it will allow to make a great improvement in speed in this area now. You can already see that in action with the level tool ( far quicker now ). Perhaps, this big change could have broke some features, but we checked them all.

IMPROVED - 1.4 a3 - Fisheye support :

  • Fix : Case with zenitar 16.8mm
  • Fix : Load / Save of advanced fisheye project
  • Fix : Robust algorithm used in fisheye mode too
  • Fix : Focal displayed for fisheye was 0
  • Fix : Improvement advanced lens distortion optimizer

CHANGED - 1.4 a3 - Detection :

  • Default value for detection quality is now in the middle. You still have 3 settings : low, standard, high which correspond to old ( standard, high, max ). It's more clear this way to a new user.
