There are two tricks you need to know about in the new versions of Hugin: how to make the Optimiser tab appear, and how to select the "a", "b" and "c" parameters for optimisation. Here's how: * Open Hugin Panorama Creator. I'm using the one on Ubuntu 14.04 which is version 2013.0.0. * On the Photos tab, right click in the file list (currently just the blank white area) and do "Add individual images...", then select your image. * Type in your focal length multiplier (1.0 for full frame, 1.6 for Canon crop cameras, 1.5 for Nikon crop cameras, etc.) and click OK. * Under Optimise at the bottom of the screen, change the Geometric option to "Custom Parameters". Note that the Optimiser tab will then appear at the top of the screen. * On the Control Points tab, add your control points as described in Torsten's video. * On the Optimiser tab, under Lens Parameters, click the triangle next to the "Lens 0" item. This will show your image file name. Next to the image file name, ctrl-click the three zeros under "a", "b" and "c". They will become bold and underlined, indicating that they are selected for optimisation. * Click the Optimise now! button in the top right. * Once the optimisation is complete, the "a", "b" and "c" parameters will be filled in with the real values, but they're low-precision and you can't copy-paste them from that screen, so right click on the the image file name and do "Edit image variables...". * From the Image variables screen, copy and paste the distortion (a), barrel (b) and distortion (c) values.
