You only need nona-mask if you intend to mask the input photos.
* I'd already found your "Panorama scripting in a nutshell" link and it looks like everything I need is in there. But while the document says it's possible to do, it doesn't exactly say how. Is there a tutorial on this sort of thing available somewhere?
There is no tutorial because although the nona-mask system works we really need a better GUI system for masking.
Basically you create a simple two-tone image with the same pixel dimensions for each input photo you want to mask.
Put this in the same folder, but name it *_mask.tif. e.g. if your input photo is called DSC_0001.TIF name your mask file to DSC_0001_mask.tif.
Then paint black the area of the photo you want to exclude from the stitch and paint everything else white (or some other colour it doesn't matter).
When you stitch with nona-mask it will merge the photo with the mask and then run nona with the result. This is notably slower than nona by itself and probably doesn't work with HDR data, but it does have the significant advantage that you don't have to edit the source photo and the mask files compress very easily.
