It supports modern panoramic imaging demands, including full spherical 360×180° panoramas, fisheye lens photos, multi-row panoramas, and large-scale gigapixel images.

Extensive Image Stitching Capabilities

The fundamental function of PanoramaStudio Pro is the automatic stitching of multiple images into smooth, visually consistent panorama images. It features:

• Automatic Alignment and Stitching: Regardless of the arrangement or quantity of input images (from 2 up to thousands), the software intelligently aligns the photos to create seamless panoramic compositions without visible borders.

• Multiple Projection Types: In addition to the standard cylindrical, spherical (equirectangular), and planar (perspective) projections, Pro adds specialized projections such as Mercator, Little Planet (stereographic), Pannini, Cassini, Miller, Gall stereographic, fisheye (equidistant and orthographic), and their transverse variants, expanding creative visualization options.

• Multi-Row and Full-Spherical Panoramas: Supports both simple single-row panoramas and complex multi-row compositions, including full 360×180-degree spherical panoramas needed for immersive VR content.

• Support for Fisheye Lenses: Can process fisheye and ultra-wide-angle inputs accurately, expanding usability with specialized optics.

• Lens Correction: Automatically corrects lens distortions, vignetting, and chromatic aberration using built-in profiles for over 2800 camera models as detected via EXIF metadata, maintaining faithful image rendering.

• Automatic Exposure and White Balance Correction: Corrects exposure mismatches, brightness, and white balance disparities across input images to unify the final panorama’s visual consistency.

These stitching capabilities allow users to effortlessly compose panoramas from a diverse range of photo sources while preserving detail, color fidelity, and geometric accuracy.

High Dynamic Range (HDR) Support

PanoramaStudio Pro distinguishes itself with full support for HDR panoramas, enabling users to create images with extended luminosity ranges by combining exposure-bracketed sets of photographs:

• True HDR and Exposure Fusion Modes: Provides both traditional HDR tone mapping and exposure fusion capabilities, letting users adjust tonality, contrast, and color dynamics to produce balanced, vibrant panoramas that capture details in both shadows and highlights.

• HDR Format Import and Export: Supports HDR image formats such as OpenEXR, Radiance HDR (.hdr), and 32-bit TIFF files, allowing professional workflows to move seamlessly between HDR capture, editing, and final panoramic rendering.

• Real-Time HDR Preview: Dynamic, interactive previews let users adjust HDR parameters live, facilitating fine-tuning before committing to final panorama rendering.

• Non-Destructive Editing: Edits applied during HDR processing do not degrade image quality, allowing for multiple revision rounds without quality loss.

HDR support is essential for landscape, architecture, and real estate photographers who require panoramas with high tonal accuracy under varying lighting conditions.

Editing and Image Processing Tools

While the core stitching process is automated, PanoramaStudio Pro provides a suite of powerful editing tools to manually adjust and enhance panoramas:

• Control Point Editor: Offers precise control over stitching by allowing users to add, move, or delete stitching control points that define image alignment, useful for correcting errors or customizing overlap areas.

• Masking and Selection Tools: Enables masking of specific areas in input images to exclude unwanted objects, ghosting, or moving elements from the panorama output—critical for dynamic scenes.

• Viewpoint Correction: Correct distortion and perspective errors post-stitching to simulate different camera positions or correct horizon lines for perfect framing.

• Grid Assistant: Assists with organizing and pre-sorting large input image sets, streamlining workflow for massive panoramas that involve hundreds or thousands of photos.

• Image Filters: Includes a range of non-destructive filters such as sharpening, noise reduction, brightness, contrast, saturation, and hue adjustments for color grading and image enhancement.

• Dynamic 2D and 3D Previews: Allows users to inspect the panorama in flat or spherical views interactively, including zooming and rotation, to verify stitching quality and composition before export.

These editing features balance automation with user control, enabling the creation of flawless, visually compelling panoramas even from complex or challenging input images.

What’s NEW in Version 4:

With this new major release, the standard and Pro versions have been significantly enhanced. The standard version now includes most of the functions of the previous Pro version. The new Pro version, on the other hand, now offers full HDR support and more.
Both versions have received numerous improvements and new functions. See a comparison on the Features page.

• Full HDR Support PRO
  Exposure brackets or HDR input images can be processed to create HDR panoramas – either using HDR / Tonemapping or Exposure Fusion.
• Improved quality. All panoramas are now processed internally in an HDR color space (standard and Pro version).
• Loading and saving of HDR image formats such as OpenEXR, Radiance HDR and 32bit Tiffs. PRO
• The new Renderer provides a significant increase in performance – it is typically around 2x to 3x faster than before.
• There are even greater performance gains in some cases with “adaptive blending” (anti-ghost) and with large gigapixel panoramas.
• Improved adaptive blending. The adaptive blending, which determines optimum seams between the input images to avoid ghosting in dynamic scenes and achieve seamless transitions, now delivers better results in many cases and is also significantly faster.
• New real-time preview. Previously, the preview just showed the images in an overlapping manner. Two new modes have been added at this point, linear blending and multi-band blending, with the latter already being very close to the final image. All these modes show a preview of the panorama in real-time in either a 2D or 3D view.
• New non-destructive image processing filters.
  To refine and improve the appearance of the panorama directly in PanoramaStudio a range of filters are available in the categories HDR/Tone Mapping PRO, Light & Color, Tone Curve and Color Balance.
  All these filters are non-destructive, meaning that they do not change the underlying image and can still be adjusted until the panorama is exported.
• Configuration of the HDR / Tonemapping parameters and basic image processing filters along with the real-time preview is possible before as well as after the rendering. PRO
• Redesigned image export.
  The color depth and color space of the images can still be configured when they are saved. This allows for example that panoramas can be exported in a higher color depth and with a larger color space than the individual input images.
• The RAW import is now up to date again and includes an additional function for reconstructing highlights.
• Exporting large (gigapixel) panoramas as interactive panoramas is now much faster.
• The new version of the PanoramaStudio Viewer:
  • offers more options for the Autoplay (relative speed, tilting back to initial level)
  • can play virtual tours as a animated slide show
  • includes improved hotspot positioning
  • provides an optional Close button
  • has an improved performance
  • has been adapted to current browsers
• … and many more small improvements.

Release Notes:

• Numerous new projections. PanoramaStudio now offers a wide range of additional projection types, allowing visually different renderings and impressions to be generated from the same panorama.
  With a total of 15 projection types in the completely renewed projection function of the Pro version, many new possibilities open up.Instead of the previous 4 projections, the following up to 15 projections are now available:
  • Perspective (rectilinear)
  • Pannini^*
  • Little Planet (stereographic fisheye)
  • Fisheye (equidistant)^*
  • Fisheye (orthographic)^*
  • Spherical (equirectangular)
  • Miller^*
  • Gall (stereographic)^*
  • Mercator
  • Cylindrical
  • Transverse spherical (Cassini)^*
  • Transverse Miller^*
  • Transverse Gall (stereographic)^*
  • Transverse Mercator^*
  • Transverse cylindrical^*

  (*): PRO version

• Batch Renderer PRO
  The new batch renderer allows automatic rendering of multiple prepared projects in a single run.
• JPEG-XL (JXL) as an additional new image format.
  The relatively new JPEG-XL or JXL is nearly ideal for panoramas.
  Unlike classic JPEG, there are no size limits for JXL images.
  It supports both 8- and 16-bit color depths for standard images, as well as 16- and 32-bit float for HDR images.
  Compression can be either lossy or lossless. The lossy method results in smaller files with better image quality than traditional JPEGs. The lossless method produces completely uncompressed files that are usually smaller than even the best TIFF or PNG compression methods.
• RAW Import extended and improved:
  • The number of supported RAW variants has been expanded by over 50 to currently more than 1250 RAW formats.
  • Improved quality in many cases when importing RAW images
  • Completely reworked and enhanced highlight reconstruction, which can reveal more details in bright/overexposed areas — at the same time, the occasional issue with pink color artifacts has been resolved.
  • Fixed an issue with artifacts at the edges of some Fuji cameras.
• Improved “adaptive blending”. While the adaptive mode previously still had occasional problems with noticeable brightness transitions in formats with very narrow aspect ratios and large differences in brightness, these are now also adjusted reliably and completely seamlessly.
• The camera database has been expanded by about 80 to now include more than 2830 cameras.
• For better image alignment: Metadata recognition expanded to support the latest DJI drones.
• Improved OpenEXR import. Fixed issues with some file variants.
• PanoramaStudio Viewer: Updated for latest browser versions, API interface expanded.
• Several dozen optimizations and minor bug fixes.
