Release Notes

PanoFuser Releases

User-facing changes for PanoFuser on Mac, iPad, and iPhone.

Version 1.3.2

Current release
  • Improved HDR preview handling so supported HDR previews render on demand and keep the main result preview responsive.
  • Improved crop and border handling performance for large stitched panoramas.
  • Refined result preview layout around grid, crop, and HDR preview controls.
  • Includes the 1.3 updates for integrated Help, supported HDR preview, faster panorama compose, and improved exposure handling.

Version 1.3.1

Mobile toolbar polish
  • Improved the compact iPhone and iPad toolbar so the main action stays centered and Help appears when there is room.
