Thanks Bruno, Knowing about the ability to zoom in the mask tab makes many things better (I hope the mask editing features can be worked out for the Mac version soon.) In light of people's suggestions I have done some reading of the documentation and experimentation. But I think I'm missing some important things.

I thought blending and masking in an image editor would be easier, but you are indeed correct. It is rather painful. Using layers and masks with Panoramic images is a different and more complicated task than with more typical images. The goals and task are such that it can get challenging very quickly. It seems wise to do as much as possible in Hugin. > . . . I prefer to use a photo multiple times in a Hugin project with > different masking to patch up larger areas like skies and ground. Hearing you say this makes me think I'm missing something big. I tried to figure it out, but was not able to make headway. I have always assumed, since it's possible to save the remapped image layers, that there must be some way to use these files to output a panorama without having to go through the whole cycle again. I assumed this was probably only possible using the command line and that using this technique would only come far down the road for me. It sounds though, like you are running images through Hugin (or nona or enblend) multiple times. Or else you are taking copies of images of parts of images and inserting them into Hugin projects to use Hugin (or nona or enblend) as a large scale cloning tool. what can I see/read that gives a good description of exactly how to do this? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
