Hi, Mihai!
How I got this
Note: I use Linux and don't have Photoshop, so I viewed the panorama you
provided in GIMP.
I use the Expert interface in Hugin.
I shoot handheld panoramas all the time, so I used my usual process.
Steps
1. Converted CR2 to 16-bit TIF images using RawTherapee.
2. Opened Hugin, added the TIF images.
3. Went to Fast Preview window and ran the Assistant. The Assistant gave
me a panorama with two separate arcs, about half on each side, with some
empty space between. See below for what I think may have fixed that.
4. Closed the Fast Preview window.
5. On the Photos tab, optimized Geometric for Positions (incremental,
starting from anchor).
6. Cleaned control points - right-click in the photos list, select
Control points > Clean control points.
7. Optimized Geometric for Positions (y,p,r).
8. Cleaned control points.
9. Optimized Geometric for Positions and View (y,p,r,v).
10. Cleande control points.
11. Optimized Geometric for Positions and Barrel Distorion (y,p,r,b).
12. Cleaned control points.
13. Optimized Geometric for Positions, View and Barrel (y,p,r,v,b).
14. Cleaned control points.
15. Optimized Geometric for Everything without translation.
16. Optimized Photometric for Low Dynamic Range.
17. Opened the Fast Preview window.
18. On the Projection tab, I set projection to Cylindrical.
19. On the Move/Drag tab, I clicked Center.
That gave me an image that looked very much like what you have in
Photoshop. The vertical lines in mine came out more vertical because
that's what the Cylindrical projection does.
The Clean control points steps each removed a lot of control points. So
your initial foray using Hugin might have been affected by having so
many bad control points.
About the split arc in step 3. The stand of trees to the left of the
small pagoda in the center was where the arcs were broken. I manually
added a control point on the peak of the building to the right of the
trees, and one on the corner of one of the lower windows. I think that
was the bit that turned the split arcs into a single panorama, but the
subsequent optimization and control point cleaning might have also fixed
it, too.
I uploaded the PTO and one of the HDR versions I made to my Google Drive
and shared it with you. They're smaller than the 670MB 48-bit TIFF
original I started with.
Hope that helps!

I have picked all the images, put them in Photoshop and it has

Tried in Hugin to get a consistent image for weeks. It either
outputs black areas or strange gray to black gradients, although
the images were apparently set in a good disposition.
The best outcome was like the previous sample, a mix of
repeating parts. I am not good at this, I presume, although I've
tried peeking some or changing the order, adding/removing
control points etc..
Whoever is willing, I can share the images and Photoshop result
as proof it's possible.

I'm pretty sure your main problem is that by default Hugin
aligns images based on the assumption that they were taken
from a fixed point of view (not hand held) so only yaw,
pitch and roll vary between images.
I find the expert interface much simpler than the "Simple"
interface (once you know the basic work flow). In the
photos tab (in expert interface) you can try to get better
alignment using the Optimize / Geometric controls.
"Position" there refers to yaw, pitch and roll. It seems to
be a good idea to calculate first with just that, so
subsequent optimize runs are starting near the answer. But
when lens properties and/or hand held causes position alone
to give poor alignment, recalculate with more parameters
("translation" is the name of the parameters that deal with
the images being hand held). If that isn't enough, you need
to change some control points:
1) individual control point might badly fail to align and
their contribution then makes all the other points align a
bit worse. So just deleting them (in the control points
tab) then recalculating Optimize / Geometric may help.
2) If you need translation computed and significant parts of
your image are at different distances from the camera, there
is no way for the translation computation to be correct (no
stitching software could get that right because there is no
right). You need to select a single most important distance
and delete control points that are on objects too close or
too far away and add some more at the right distance. In
some panoramas that is enough because there is a single most
important distance. Other times, you then need to fix
things for the less important distances. That requires
masking so each important object at other than the select
distance is taken from just one photo, rather than blurred
between two photos. Masking lets the software transition
between photos either in areas that already were not very
sharp (sky, very distant trees, etc.) or in areas with
perfect alignment. Remember if you use a tripod and slide
if necessary to get exactly the right axis of rotation, then
all distances act the same (zero translation is correct for
everything).

Hello,
I have a batch of images taken by hand. I could make a
panorama in Photoshop in two minutes, but I would like
to move to Hugin. I could not make it although I've
tried for days.
The main problem is it keeps mixing like this:
crop.jpg
Is there anybody willing to help me with this, please?
Thanks.
