Thanks for all the points, I've aligned specific stacks and created stack masks, now despite a mundane landscape the fused version nonetheless looks impressive.
My panorama is outputting to "exposure fused from stacks as TIFF" and "HDR as EXR", in both cases the blend process has taken about two hours. However the fused TIFF file was written to in under 15 minutes, whereas enblend has been "writing final output" of the EXR file for the past eight hours. The file size is 2.6MB, six hours ago it was 2.2MB (compare to 870MB TIFF). I'm not familiar enough in terms of size, compression, and processing power required by the OpenEXR format to understand if this is a bug in 2010.4.0. Should I backup the individual stacks, cancel the current process, and attempt manually stitching to TIFF instead? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
