Smooth interoperability with Photoshop has always been an important objective. In the previous version of Stitcher, we already introduced the PSD export (projects are exported with each input image and its corresponding blending information as a separate layer). With version 5, you can also import images with their PSD mask (one single layer), and this mask will be used during rendering. You can view this mask as a stencil in your 3D window.

As an example, it it now much easier to create your panorama inside Stitcher, export it as a cubical panorama in PSD format for example, so that you can edit and retouch each face of the cube as if it were a planar projection for each one of the 6 directions (front, back, left, right, top, bottom), then re-import your edited panorama back into Stitcher to:

Either re-edit a spherical PSD file for further retouching,
Or finally publish the format you want, for example a Quick Time movie with hotspots.
Another example: you can also add hotspots or scripts to an existing QTVR panorama! See right all the possibilities that this new feature now offers you... (click the image to enlarge it)
