Actually There are cases where it is a goal to make the blending seam pass through a particular area. In my case the it's where the passengess on the boat are gripping the rails (or the mast stay.) It's the only place that is fairly static. But I have found your cropping advice very helpful. The other problmem is" blend smudging" (meaning where enblend tries to blend the hand at the edge of one mask with the sky at the edge of another. In the end the easiest thing was to do as much with masks as possible, save remapped images, and then copy small parts of the remapped images and place them in layers over the pano. Then use wuick alpha masks to pick and chose the best parts of the remapped images to overlay the smudged areas. The key to this for me has been not to bring in the whole remapped image, but only tiny parts. Enblend does the absolute best job for 95% of the picture (100% for a static scene) so just let it do its work. If your bring all the remapped images in things get needlessly complicated very quickly. With just small parts of the remapped images, things are far more manageable.
