In my opinion, the why, if, exif and all should come back to one question. I have 2 pictures I need to stitch. One if portrait, one is landscape.
Will any of the module end up with a different result than if I had 2 portraits. I don't mean 2 lens vs 1. But will the control points be different? will the optimizer fail in one case but not the other? or be more precise in one case? Will enblend\enfuse render them differently? If the answer is no to all of them, then in my opinion, picture orientation is not a variable in stitching, and therefore is not a variable the user should have to manage manually.
