Sir, you are a scholar, and I thank you. I downloaded the Macintosh "ptbatcher" GUI having not previously needed it or having ever used it. I loaded my .pto file into the batch processor, and voila, obtained a fine stitched pano output image. Your above theory seems to be quite correct, and because I was thinking the problem was related to a specific OS version, we appear to both be vindicated. myself with my suspicion and yourself with your solution. Hopefully, this workaround can be eliminated through finding a means that will enable the Hugin application to be able to stitch regardless of peculiarities that may appear between various recent versions of the Macintosh operating system. In the meantime, other Mac users having similar difficulties should take note. Again, thanks.
