PTGui 9.1 béta 3 disponible

[gibie]

A signaler qu'il est possible de télécharger la béta 3 de PTGui 9.0 : voir lien

Au programme des changements :
- Panorama Editor and Detail Viewer now have 4 blending modes: Blended, Unblended, Seam Highlighting and Overlay. Overlay is the behaviour of previous versions. Seam Highlighting shows the location of the seam with a red line. Unblended does a hard transition at the seam with no blending.
- PTGui Pro: Apply template now copies the mask from the template (can be disabled, see below:)
- PTGui Pro: new section in Project Settings tab: Template Behaviour. Determines which part of the project are copied by Apply Template. Can be used for example to create a template which only changes the crop settings
- Opening projects now goes much faster
- Progress bars during loading and saving of project files
- Better visibility of bold numbers in Control Points tab
- Windows: layout of numbered tabs has been updated to match the Windows 7 style
- Both Publish to Website and the QTVR generator now have an option to set the min and max pan and tilt angles automatically, based on the field of view of the panorama
- PTGui now remembers if it was running full screen (maximized) the previous time
- Detail viewer: navigation with cursor keys, zooming with + and - keys
- Detail viewer: added a slider for zooming
- Detail viewer: now shows the field of view and magnification factor (compared to the panorama size set in the Create Panorama tab)
- 'show script' checkbox when stitching using PTStitcherNG
- 'mouse slow down' feature in Control Points tab can now be disabled in the options
- The default output size limit of 20 megapixels for projects created by Align Images has been lifted to 500 megapixels. The default can be overridden in the Project Settings tab.
- For linked images (in HDR projects) the masks are now linked as well
- mac: user interface performance improvements, in particular when painting in the Mask tab
- mac: Cmd+W now closes the active window
- When optimizing vignetting and exposure, PTGui Pro now only attempts to detect the camera curve if the project contains multiple exposures (i.e. HDR). For non HDR projects it cannot accurately determine the camera curve so it will use the default curve in that case.
- fix: masks were discarded randomly
- fix: batch stitcher: right clicking -> Remove Selected Project(s) did not work
- fix: painting a straight line in the Mask tab would not always produce a smooth straight line
- fix: 'Assertion failed' error when working with HDR source images
- fix: 'send to batch stitcher' only worked if the batch stitcher was not yet running
- fix: opening a help page only worked if the help viewer was not already open
- fix: Help viewer would close after changing the font size
- fix: Error in help viewer when clicking the Back button
- fix: panorama editor, control point assistant windows would appear on top of the PTGui main window upon startup
- fix: occasional crashes
- fix: Batch stitcher would use the built in stitcher even if the project was configured to use PTStitcherNG
- fix: when doing a preview stitch for a PTStitcherNG project, output would be generated at the full output size specified in the Create Panorama tab
- fix: windows: buttons and other controls could be incorrectly greyed out
- fix: windows: certain fields were invisible until one moved the mouse cursor over them
- fix: mac: tooltips in the toolbars were not shown
- fix: mac: opening a project by double clicking the .pts file or by dropping onto the PTGui icon did not work
- fix: mac: purple round Help buttons looked corrupted
- fix: mac: warning message appeared when saving a lens database entry
- fix: mac: editing values in the Image Parameters grid by pressing a key on the numerical keypad resulted in wrong characters
- fix: mac: PowerPC macs: the image in the Control Points, Crop and Masks tabs are invisible when the zoomlevel is less than 100%
- fix: mac: The 'open file' window now again shows the file type selection listbox. Unsupported file types are greyed out.
- fix: mac: The 'save file' window now has the file name without the extension highlighted, so typing a new file name does not erase the extension
- fix: mac: RAW files could not be opened if PTGui was installed in a folder with a name consisting of non-latin characters
- fix: mac: mouse cursor and window positioning problems on macs with 2 or more monitors
- fix: mac: PTGui would temporarily freeze after pattern matching
- fix: mac: Cmd+A can be used again to select all items in a list (except in the file selection dialog)
- fix: mac: Image numbers in the table in the Exposure and color adjustment settings window were partially cut off
- fix: mac: a 'too many open files' error could occur

Hi all,

Beta3 is now available for download. It took a while to work through all the reported bugs and there are still some remaining issues.

But the most serious problems of the beta should be fixed, and there's one particulary useful new feature: in the panorama editor and detail viewer one of four blending modes can be chosen. One of the blending modes indicates the location of the seams by a red line, this works very well to spot potential misalignment problems and to show the effects of masking.

See http://www.ptgui.com/beta.html for details.

Aaaaaaaaaaah, enfin !

[Mael B.]

Argg !! J'ai encore pesté contre la beta2 cet aprem... si j'avais su j'aurai reporté le traitement de mon pano à demain...

[sagedavid]

Moi j'attendais (au moins) celle là pour mettre la main au porte monnaie

[Patrick]

bon je vais attendre les retours d'infos et de tests mais c'est vrai que dans le week end utiliser les masques rouges et verts m'auraient bien aidé.
je suis à jour jusqu'au 22 mars prochain j'espère bien qu'on aura un truc d'ici là (Noel qui sait voir avant ?).

[sagedavid]

Euh, j'espère bien que la version sera finalisée d'ici là... Sinon, ça y est, j'ai franchi le pas...

[Job.1]

Apparemment le preview ne fonctionne pas

[sagedavid]

Flûte !
Bon, on peut toujours lui signaler rapidement...
De toutes façons, j'attends la maj de ma clef, donc ce ne sera pas pour ce soir...

[Mael B.]

L'enregistrement des images en tiff ne marche pas non plus

[Mael B.]

Sur le groupe 'PTGui Support', ces deux bugs ont déjà été signalés... plus qu'à attendre quelques jours pour une nouvelle MAJ

[sagedavid]

Bon, j'ai acheté un peu vite

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah... ce truc est en train de changer ma vie (de panophotographe - et pourquoi pas perso en améliorant mon rendement et diminuant ma vie devant l'ordi - !!!
On peut même se permettre un certain luxe en mettant des masques là où on n'aurait pas forcément pris le temps de modifier une couche alpha !
C'est génial

[François]

La beta 4 semble marcher pas mal pour ce qui est de l'utilisation des masques. J'aime bien aussi les différents type d'affichages possibles dans l'éditeur, en particulier la version avec les limites d'images en rouge.

Par contre : problème majeur avec Windows XP : l'exécutable PTGui.exe reste en mémoire même après avoir fermé l'application, en continuant d'utiliser 50% des ressources du processeur ! Après une petite session de boulot avec PTGui je trouvais l'ordi super lent, et je découvre dans le gestionnaire de taches (Ctrl+Alt+Suppr) qu'il reste en mémoire quatre instances de ptgui.exe !
Apparemment le pb a déjà été rapporté comme bug... Attendons la prochaine version...

[Amedee]

Ayé, j'ai essayé aussi

Les masques sont effectivement top, je n'ai pas vu de bug majeur.

Par contre quand on commence à masquer il semblerait que le blend priority n'est plus pris en compte, donc faut masquer un peu plus, c'est un peu gênant.

La taille de l'équi calculée est bizarre aussi: habituellement avec mon dix et demi je suis légèrement au dessus de 6000px, et là il me proposait environ 5000px...

Comme d'habitude, copie de l'email d'accompagnement du développeur Joost Nieuwenhuijse :
Hi all,

PTGui 9 beta 5 is now available. Upgrade as usual using Help -> Check for Updates.

Besides the many bug fixes, it's now possible to change the file names used for cube face output. Further there are new keyboard shortcuts for the Mask tab and there's the ability to draw straight lines in the Mask tab by using Shift+click.

This should fix all bugs that were outstanding in the previous beta version. If you find any problems please report here. Feature requests are always welcome but the feature set for PTGui 9.0 is really frozen now. Thanks for testing!
