PTGui 8.3.2 - Panoramic photo stitching software, Pro version available. (Demo)

PTGui 8.3.2 - Panoramic photo stitching software, Pro version available. (Demo): "

PTGui 8.3.2

PTGui is panoramic photo stitching software. Originally developed as a Graphical User Interface for Panorama Tools (hence the name), PTGui now is a full featured photo stitching application.

Use PTGui to stitch any number of photos into a panoramic image. Some benefits of PTGui, when compared to other stitching software:

• PTGui can stitch multiple rows of images
  
• Create 360 degree cylindrical panoramas, 'flat' partial panoramas and even spherical 360x180 degree panoramas
  
• No need to keep the camera level: PTGui can stitch rotated and tilted images
  
• Virtually unlimited output size: create Gigapixel panoramas from hundreds of images!
  
• Layered output allows full control over the final stitched result
  
• PTGui stitches most panoramas fully automatically, but at the same time provides full manual control over every single parameter. This enables stitching of 'difficult' scenes, where other programs fail.
  
• Full 16 bit workflow for best image quality
  
• And much more...
  

WHAT'S NEW

Version 8.3.2:

• Fix: occasional crashes
  
• Fix: 'out of memory' errors
  
• Fix: 'failed to create a temporary file' errors
  
• Fix: Windows: 'View in default viewer' could fail
  
• Fix: Color/brightness faults when creating HDR panoramas with Panorama Tools warping
  
• Fix: the text in the HDR box (Exposure/HDR tab) was not always updated when necessary
  
• Mac: now supports drag & drop of image files onto the PTGui icon in the Dock

heise online - Marktforscher: Apple ist profitabelster Mobiltelefon-Hersteller

heise online - Marktforscher: Apple ist profitabelster Mobiltelefon-Hersteller: "Apple bleibt mit seinem iPhone trotz angespannter Lage im Mobilfunkmarkt weiter auf der Überholspur. Nach jüngsten Erhebungen zog der Computer- und iPod-Hersteller im vergangenen Quartal sogar erstmals an Weltmarktführer Nokia als profitabelster Anbieter vorbei.

Das iPhone habe einen operativen Gewinn in Höhe von 1,6 Milliarden Dollar eingefahren gegenüber 1,1 Milliarden Dollar, die Nokia erwirtschaftete, ermittelte das Marktforschungsunternehmen Strategy Analytics aus Boston. Vergleichsweise hohe Preise, kombiniert mit einer guten Kostenkontrolle habe wesentlich zum Erfolg beigetragen, so die Analysten."

Replace Your MacBook's Hard Drive Yourself

Replace Your MacBook's Hard Drive Yourself: "It may not seem like it, but your MacBook hard drive is no different than that of any other laptop. Replacing it without Apple's help might void your warranty, but it sure is a lot cheaper if you do it yourself.

Ionic batteries could multiply battery life by 11

Ionic batteries could multiply battery life by 11: "A new development by partly government-backed Fluidic Energy could potentially extend the battery life of notebooks, cars and other devices well beyond existing lithium-ion cells. Known as Metal-Air Ionic Liquid (MAIL), it would improve energy storage beyond relatively efficient zinc-air batteries by using an ionic liquid salt to conduct electricity that is much more stable and isn't prone to drying out either by accident or by eventual decay. The move would let battery makers use metals denser than zinc and therefore hold a much larger charge in a given volume....
