I wanted to convey my impressions while fresh, albeit two years too late. :) Ofcourse, complaining is easy and I guess I forgot to praise the wonderful piece of software we have. Just didnt't state the obvious.
Good point from Bruno - Lowering the new-user-threshold is incredibly important to spread the use and for that reason I appreciate the Simple interface (although I've never used it). However, this has to be done with care so power users are not left out in the cold and I would say that hiding the tabs borders on that. As I understand it, the only difference between Advanced and Expert is that the former hides Translation parameters. Wouldn't it be great to take the distinction further by also making the Optimizer tab permanent for Expert? I can live with having to reset photometric parameters in every project, although I often forget (regardless of Hugin version). Would love to be able to toggle them "off" in a global setting or a popup dialog while importing images. I can appreciate that the possibility is there in case of emergency although it's often too late in the processing pipeline especially when originating from RAW images. Perhaps there could be an on-screen disclaimer about histogram banding to lead new users towards the best workflow. (In my current project all the EXIF-containing images disappeared completely. I thought they had been "optimized far away" until I realized they were exactly where they should, just invisible until I reset their EV values). Re: J. Schneider and Ctrl-clicking, I would not have known to do so innately but there is a helpful text on the screen which advices to use "control + left mouse click", which perhaps you hadn't noticed. -- 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.
