Not sure about the reviewer, they play to their own band I guess when it comes to assumptions.
I just finally got a panorama, had to do the following steps to get it to work: - Downloaded new installer - Set File Vault to “Allow apps downloaded from Anywhere” - Ran installer - Set Disc Permissions for Hugin, PTBatcherGui, and HuginStitchProject to full access - Started the Batcher first - Started Hugin and reset Default file names for projects and output to HugX (the X is to remind me to number after done) - Loaded images, performed Align, then Created Panorama Finally worked, so will take a month off (just kidding) and then try to learn how to change perspectives, straighten, Crop, and other such tools…… Appreciated all who offered assistance, including your patience. Best wishes for a great weekend! Respects, Bill On August 13, 2020 at 7:45:21 PM, David W.

PTGui uses the open source LibRaw library for decoding raw files. See Supported Cameras on the LibRaw website for a list of cameras supported by LibRaw. PTGui can only read raw files supported by LibRaw. If LibRaw does not support your camera, use a dedicated raw converter to convert the images to 16 bit TIFF." So they're a completely different program from Hugin and don't use panotools. The confused reviewer jumped from 'PTGui uses one open source library' to 'PTGui is open source'.
