I just noticed something tonight while doing some test stitches. I have a very large stitch that I'm doing test stitches of various crops from that large stitch to see the results so I can adjust control points, settings for enfuse/enblend, etc. I'm getting different results from "Fused and blend

Agreed. Panoramic photos in themselves are not patentable as they have been around for some time. I don't understand your second statement. With regards to iPiX and Photosphere, that was interesting. iPiX did sue photographers then were sued and settled with Pictosphere. iPiX then licensed Pic

Panoramic photos have been around for some time. We've got a photo here in a furniture store of downtown that was produced in 1890. Panoramic photos would not have a patent, or if it did would be defeated by prior art. A methodology might be considered patentable, but then you would have to p

The Mac version of Hugin does include the auto control point generators in the download. I believe you are correct that China technically does have copyright laws but they are rarely enforced as you note. For all practical purposes, there is no patent or copyright protection in China. I am not s

An interesting post. In the US, fansubs, ie people subbing japanese anime and other foriegn movies traditionally have been ignored in part because the content had not yet been copyrighted in the US. Recently international trade agreements have changed that. Now anime produced in Japan is copyr

Hi Harry, Thanks for the update. I've never found the auto control point generators particularly useful for fisheye images, but the align_image_stack would help quite a bit setting up stacks of bracketed exposures for HDR, so I'm keen to give it a try. Please let me know when something becomes a

Hi Brian, How far off is the SDK for building hugin from trunk? I suppose enblend does not need to be built as described here [1] as there is a released (or RC) 4.0 now, right? [1] http://wiki.panotools.org/Build_Hugin_for_Windows_with_SDK Cheers 2009/12/13 brian_ims > > I am not a C/C+ prog

Patents hold no ground in Europe. The Berne convention can still be applied, what ever the licence you choose for your image. And to DaveN comment, I ain't infringing any patent while located in Europe, so the moralistic opinion is bogus, but copyright laws can still be applied in Europe. -- Yves
