With brum-3.jpg the best combination was: vertical linear 5, vertical curved -16, Done and after that Transform -> Trim Image or even easier Transform -> Auto-Trim Image to get rid of the black areas. In the case of brum-3.jpg apply a little bit of Retouch -> Gamma Curves, (bend the left part of the curve a little bit to the bottom, and the right part to the top) to enhance the image contrast. Normally the image looses a little bit of sharpness during the panorama stitching. You can correct this with: Retouch -> Sharpen Image. But: If you would like to make an exhibit, then you get better image quality if you bring the negatives to an old fashioned photographer for direct enlargement on B&W photo paper. Urs
