The missing quote (now added) confused me.  I think you're saying what
I have observed: by default the pano is scaled to 70%, but "calculate
optimal size" sets it to 100%.  Right?

Thanks for the hint about the preferences.

Thanks, my memory must be failing me ;) I thought this option predates the
assistant.

The calculate optimal size button is using by default no additional scaling 
factor.  (So it ignores this setting. Except you hold the control button.)
The downscale factor of 70 % is on the assistant tab in the preferences. 
This indicates that this setting is only used by the assistant.

The green channel has 70% resolution, the red and blue have 50% (with the
standard Bayer pattern). Everything else is interpolated by the RAW
software.

But this 70% is just a good default that is appropriate for most users, you
should check with your own pictures, and set it to 100% if you have any
concerns.

thank you Bruno, interesting information! i’m reading that the green 
channel has more resolution - i wonder how this translates in my case: for 
my workflow i’m batch developing the raw files of my camera into 16bit 
tiffs that i then use as input for hugin. to be honest the few times i did 
compare the partial tiff’s to the hugin mosaic at 1:1 i didn’t notice any 
detail loss.

This 'calculate optimal size' function uses the 70% default. The rationale
is that digital cameras produce redundant pixels due to Bayes sampling in
the CCD, so for most users there is no loss (and the files are half the
size).

If you are sourcing images from another source: scanning, or the output
from another Hugin project, it might be worth setting it to 100%

[hugin-ptx] is "downscale final pano = 70% of max width" overriden by "calculate optimal size"?

2023-01-22 Thread Fotis K
After all these years of using hugin I discovered that I never set the 
option *downscale final pano* from 70% to 100% in the preferenecs. 

However I always click *calculate optimal size *right before the final 
stitching. Does this mean that I am squeezing as much detail as possible 
from my original photos or do I walk away leaving ...resolution... on the 
table because of the 70% setting?
