Thanks to all for the replies.
So I've now have Autopano-SIFT set up (using info from Bruno's post of
Sept. 6), so the basics are there.
I'm actually more interested in using align_image_stack for setting up
bracketed exposures. Bruno's post provides info on possible parameters
("-f %v -p %o %i"), but what do I put in the Program field and what do
I select from the Type menu.
If I do the obvious thing and put "align_image_stack" in the program
string, when I select a set of bracketed images and try to set control
points to align them, it produces a "wxExecute Error" alert with error
code 255. I'm guessing that it can't find the program. (I certainly
can't.)
Any help appreciated,
Rick
P.S. There's definitely a U.S. patent on SIFT (US Patent 6,711,293
awarded March 23, 2004).
