I confirmed the same issues in 2012.0RC1 32-bit build on 64bit Windows 7. I use 32bit 2011.4 because I find it best with HDR.
Input images, 6 hires JPEGS, here: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/88397749/input.zip They're part of a 48 image 2 row 360degree series with the sun in frame and some shadows in the foreground so I want to use bracketed exposures for HDR TIFF output. Images were shot on pano rig. It aligns fine. No problems there. Using this straightforward project (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/88397749/noexposureopt_average_hdrmerge.pto) everything aligns, maps, merges and blends into this (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/88397749/noexposureopt_average_hdrmerge_hdr.tif) HDR tiff. Looks OK except for horrible banding in the sky. Best way to deal with that, I've found, is to optimize vignetting and camera response curve. That is the "High dynamic range, fixed exposure" preset under the exposure tab. This (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/88397749/exposureopt_average_hdrmerge.pto) is the exposure optimised project and it gives this (https://dl.dropbox.com/u/88397749/exposureopt_average_hdrmerge_hdr.tif). NO banding in the sky, severe grey "speckles" in the textured foreground. Unusable. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
