PanoVolo vs. PTGui Reviews and Comparison?

[marwan_zakaria]

I am looking at purchasing a good Panorama software tool. I looked into PTGUI. Has anyone done the comparison? (side-by-side)? Cost is a factor, but I am interested in the opinion of people who have tried both.

You could save your $$$ and try Hugin - free, and more capable than all of the paid ones, just a bit more effort to learn to use initially and rather ancient GUI. Don't have much XP with the others, but just checking you hadn't missed the most decent of the free options....

I will try. Thanks. Any safe URL to download?

Hugin should be good.

Thank You. I have searched and search for one that lets you zoom in with the mouse wheel.

Hugin - free and balls-out the best.

ICE v.2 - free and a one-click wonder on P.C's even for quite complex pano's with a wide variety of projection options. Can also do some pretty tricksy stuff with video clips.

Autopano Giga - free and an excellent highly featured stitcher.

That's the lineup for people who don't think you have to pay daft amounts to get quality software.

100%! PSP is the best, and Tobias is very responsive if you need help or have suggestions for improvement. Linking multiple 360° panos on a map is best way to share a drone flight. He also keeps improving the program for us!

• For better image alignment: Metadata recognition expanded to support the latest DJI drones.

However, your linked panos are not working in your test on my iPad Mini. Only the primary pano is visible as a green balloon. Clicking on the other two red balloons, after zooming out on the map, doesn't work, and no navigation to them within the main image exists (one option), and you are missing a navigation panel at the bottom to jump between thumbnail views of each pano. Your default zoom level on the map is also too high to see the other locations, without first zooming out. I would also recommend using the smaller version of the map so it doesn't take up the whole screen initially. Fully customizable, so play around with the settings.
