I use the same methods as the replies above - a combination of cropping and altering image order - not exactly for out-of-focus shots but for the times when image distortion near the edges tends to make optimisation difficult, resulting in stitching artifacts. What I've been thinking about for the past couple of years is that the interface could do with some tweaks to help in this process: 1. image re-ordering is excruciatingly slow, even on a fast machine, and can only be done with one image at a time. With multi-row panos this can make shifting a whole row or column take a long time of click..wait..click..wait etc. I do understand that reordering the images means altering all the CP tables in the process, which is the part that takes the time .. perhaps, though, it might be possible to add a way to select multiple images and shift them all as a block, or to suspend the table-shifting until after the order has been rearranged? In some cases I've prerendered all the images uncropped and rendered the final pano with something like enblend-gui [where changing the order is instantaneous] because it actually takes less time to do than simply reordering the images in Hugin. 2. It may be asking a lot in terms of programming, but it would be really REALLY useful to have crop masks that aren't simply rectangles, either free-drawn or polygonal. D
