I have to admit I've never tried that myself. I always export a version or master to a folder labeled "8bit." Then I repeat the same export to a folder named "16bit." Then I create a Hugin.pto and all are in a folder named after the pano. This way the whole project is self contained and portable. It just makes things manageable for me. I can run multiple versions to get masks, alignment, and exposure worked out. When I get the 8bit versions looking nice I use that .pto file as a template for the 16 bit versions for the final image. Due to the limitations of my antiquated camera all my source images are 8 bit jpegs, but I figure it's worth it to export 16bit tiffs from Aperture. The remapped images look nicer as does the finished panorama. Also any final adjustments for the printer, sharpening, etc. look better.
I always wonder what everyone else does with file organization, workflow, etc. I'm sure there are lot's good ideas, methods, and tricks out there that I'd love to know. Probably most of the people on the list consider this obvious, common knowledge. As an example, I know there must be a way to run remapped output images through enfuse or enblend again (say if I get some error that stops hugin from completing.) I always have to completely recreate them again from the start, as I have yet to figure it out. I assume it requires using the CLI, but I haven't managed it yet. :-) On Nov 28, 9:58 am, Dan Weintraub <[email protected]> wrote: > Ok, I've found out some more info.
