# PTmender

PTmender is a replacement for Helmut Dersch's PTStitcher. It is fully Open Source and it was written by Daniel M German. A multi-platform version is now included with the pano12 and pano13 libraries available at Sourceforge.

Most useful functionality of PTStitcher has already been implemented, particularly:

- Compatibility with existing command line and script usage
- Colour and brightness correction
- Multiple TIFF output
- PSD output with layer masks
- Flattened TIFF, JPEG and PNG output

There is also new useful functionality not available in PTStitcher:

- cropped TIFF output
- LZW compression of TIFF output
- All the new projections supported by Hugin such as multiplane and Pannini

Functionality that hasn't been implemented:

- Support for VRML, PICT, QTVR, IVR
- Support for other-than-rectilinear lenses such as fisheyes
- Probably lots of other stuff
