Mac software
Basic Library
The basic library on Mac Classic is the pano12.lib which is placed in the System extensions folder. This library hasn't been updated since version 2.6b1 and does not include the fast transformation or multi processor support. The OS X version is called PanoTools.bundle and has many updates including fast transform by default, multi-processor support, improved optimizer (including Altivec optimizations), etc.
Stitching Software
There are two Panorama Tools front-end applications available for OS X, these are Hugin (Open Source) and PTMac (shareware).
Helper
Is there Autopano for Mac?
Is there Enblend for Mac?
Remallax removes some parallax of hand-shot panoramas prior to stitching. Just a project in inception, nothing usable available

Plug-ins
- How to install plug-ins in Photoshop
- The Panorama Tools Plugins are part of the original Panorama tools distribution by Helmut Dersch. There is a version for Mac OSX available from Kekus.com
The Panorama tools distribution only ever worked on Classic Macintosh OS (pre OS X). So now, the only versions of Panorama tools that work on OS X are the shareware (not free) application PTMac, and the Linux version of the original distribution, though I'm not sure if anyone has gotten that to work.
- PT Lens free lens distorsion correction.
