A new "Natural" blending mode and a dedicated Texture Editing Tool allow for much cleaner 3D models with fewer artifacts.

Perhaps the biggest addition is the ability to process aerial and terrestrial LiDAR data. You can now align laser scans with photos in the same project, leveraging the precision of laser and the texture of photography.

For professionals using drone-mounted LiDAR, Metashape now supports boresight calibration to ensure the laser and IMU are perfectly aligned for maximum accuracy.

The "2.0" leap brought substantial architectural changes, with subsequent updates (up to version 2.3) refining these tools:

Processing speeds have been boosted via improved GPU support for heavy lifting like model vertex color calculation and point cloud filtering. Professional vs. Standard Edition Freshworkshttps://agisoft.freshdesk.com New features in Agisoft Metashape 2.2.x - Helpdesk Portal
