Software update: PTGui 12.22

A regularly discussed piece of software in the Photo & Video Workflow subforum is PTGui. This program focuses on creating and adjusting composite images. This can be a vertical or horizontal panorama, but also one large image with an enormous resolution that is composed of countless separate shots. With a stack of photos as input, the program can then figure out how to place them next to each other. For the calculation-intensive part, the GPU can also be used via OpenCL to be ready faster. It features various options, where PTGui Pro also makes it possible to combine HDR photos, mask moving objects and adjust the viewing point, among other things. The following changes and improvements have been made in version 12.22:
