[edit] PTgui

PTgui (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This is a promotion page for the software. An external link already exists on the Panorama Stitchers, Viewers and Utilities page. John Spikowski 05:54, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per above. The production company does not seem notable, so the fruits of their labor would not be either. the_undertow ^talk 06:23, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - looks like promotional material. Unsourced and unnotable --Fritzpoll 23:43, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. --Infrangible 18:56, 13 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep doesn't read like an advertisement, and includes historical info. —Pengo 15:48, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep important software of it's kind. First of all GUIs for PanoTools, the only commercial app that can keep pace with the fast development of hugin (which takes part in Google's SoC) Einemnet 20:48, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep as user Pengo. Well known product in the panorama community. --Wuz 20:50, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Not adequately notable. A1octopus 21:43, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Probably the best example of this category of software. Absolutely invaluable and definitely deserves a place in Wiki. Recent beta version adds important new functions. It is actively and frequently upgraded.--User:Roger
• Keep Invaluable software it is the leading edge of professional software for panoramas, and not only. It is a swissknife that allow the use of all the opensource and free module. it is *the* panoramic software. It has also a great relevance in panorama history, being one of the first GUI for the panotools --User:Luca Vascon

There are many GUI front ends that spawned from Panorama Tools. PTgui is a commercial venture, Hugin (software) is a work in progress, and what about PTAssembler, Panorama Factory along with others that have used Panorama Tools as a core. This is why the Panorama Tools software has a page of it's own because of notability and contribution to the industry that grew from it. Lets try and work together to clean up the mess of random pano posts (like the PanoTools wiki) and work toward a resource that has a good chance of people finding.
