Halifax, NS, Canada — PanoVolo, a leader in panorama photo stitching software, today announced the release of version 1.11.0, now available for both Windows and macOS users. This release introduces a completely redesigned Review page with support for high-resolution images and full GPU acceleration, along with several new tools to improve panorama editing and workflow efficiency.
High-Resolution, GPU-Accelerated Review: The Review page has been fully reimplemented to support high-resolution images with hardware-accelerated rendering. All adjustments are now fully interactive, including yaw, pitch, roll and opacity adjustments for individual images, as well as panorama central point adjustments.
Direct Image Adjustments: Selected image yaw and pitch can be directly adjusted by Ctrl (⌘ or Command on macOS) + Drag move and roll can be adjusted by Shift + Drag move. Opacity of the selected image can also be adjusted interactively, using Alt + Drag gesture.
Unlimited Undo/Redo: All Review page adjustments – yaw, pitch, roll of individual images, and panorama central point changes – now support unlimited Undo and Redo steps through the Edit > Undo and Edit > Redo menu options.
Compass Widget: A new Compass widget displays panorama orientation relative to true geographic bearings for panoramas captured with compatible drones. Panorama can be reoriented such that the center points North, South, East or West by clicking on the N-S-E-W buttons.
Field Of View Display: For panorama projections that cannot display the full 360×180 field of view (such as, for example, Mercator or Rectilinear), a target projection field-of-view overlay can now be displayed via View > Field of View. The unshaded region indicates which portion of the panorama will appear in the final output, allowing users to adjust the panorama central point accordingly.
Full list of changes in this release:
- Increased resolution of images in the Review page.
- GPU acceleration of the Review page – rendering of panorama preview as well as of the selected image is now fully hardware accelerated.
- Interactive adjustment of the panorama central point – mouse drag will adjust the panorama central point horizontally and vertically.
- Interactive adjustment of the selected image – Ctrl (⌘ on macOS) + Drag adjusts image pitch and yaw and Shift + Drag adjusts image roll.
- Selected image opacity can be changed – using Alt + Drag gesture or dedicated slider in the toolbar.
- Full Undo/Redo support for all the image yaw/pitch/roll and panorama central point adjustments.
- Compass widget displays true geographical orientation of panorama (for drone images that contain GPS bearing metadata). Panorama center can be oriented to point North, South, East or West by clicking on the corresponding buttons.
- Field of View overlay displays the boundaries of panorama that will appear in the final image for projections with restricted field of view such as Cylindrical, Mercator, Panini and Rectilinear.
- Improved panorama viewer performance.
- Fill Sky can now be applied or turned off without requiring a full panorama render.
