We're trying to understand how the masking functionality works and noted that it behaves in unexpected ways and not as the manual (which is admittedly minimal) indicates. I'd go so far as to say that it behaves unlike any similar function I've used in other software. I'll happily edit the manual to say, for example, that the mask feature is not meant to handle complex masks and that masks of only 4-10 points should be sufficient. Note however that the tutorial you like has a mask with over 30 points, and that it also includes the directions on how to manipulate masks that don't behave as described. -- A list of frequently asked questions is available at: http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_FAQ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
