A clean and widely used GUI for the panotools under Windows and Mac OS X. Shareware. (30 days trial, 79 EUR or 149 EUR for the pro version with HDR support). PTGui has an enormous amount of features which implies a steep learning curve. For some of the features see tutorials section below.

User Comments

I've been using PTGUI for about a year now and I am very happy with it. In combination with Autopano and Enblend it makes for an almost care-free system that allow me to concentrate on the photography rather than on the computing. The user interface is intuitive although I miss the possibility to zoom on a section of the panorama and do micropositioning (keys to move images by one pixel in the four directions, rotate left or right by a degree, "shrink or expand" an image). Maybe a feature for future versions?
