Dennis Mabrey says, “While PTGui is a great tool it’s primary purpose is for stitching multiple images into a pano.” - Pano2VR tool for straightening panos and creating tour
Dennis Mabrey says, “PanoVR (at least beta ver 5) will perform automatic straightening of Theta/Theta S images. You don’t have to run the stills through the Ricoh software.
PanoVR also is great for things like tripod removal or fixing images. You can select a portion of the image and edit in Photoshop and perform functions like content aware fill. Really makes getting rid of the tripod or the ‘giant hand’ very useful.” - PanoramaStudio 3 Photo stitching and pano postwork. Save to flash or HTML5
