New in Panorama Stitcher 1.6 (Oct 27, 2012)
- New rendering engine.
- Includes two blending modes (available from the menu Edit -> Image Blending):

- Uniform blending in the image intersection areas (old behavior)
- Also the new engine performs correction of small to moderate radial lens distortions to reduce seam visibility and ghosting in both modes.
- Robustness and performance improvements. For example, export of typical panorama in the reduce blur mode requires almost half of disk space (for caches) and time of those of previous version.
- EXIF metadata preservation. Tags from original photos are combined and saved in the panorama.
