Just double checked. Biggest I made was 135 images. I had some problems but
that was because that one was handheld :P Hugin took it all in!


There is a problem with long-command-lines and Windows that 
messed-up the way we used to call control point generators on Windows.


This shouldn't now be a problem if you are using the up-to-date

Nicolas,

That sounds like an awesome option except...  Isn't there a limit to
the number of photos that can be in hugin?  Something like 120?  I've
hit it before which was one of the main reasons I never tried anything
even close to what you're suggesting below...

Thanks,

Re: [hugin-ptx] Re: Any way to reuse control points on a different set of images?

2010-04-19 Thread Nicolas Pelletier
I don't think it's in the official releases yet, but there is the new stack
feature.

Basically, all the images that are different exposures of the same image,
you assign them the same stack number. Then, whatever the optimization you
do, all of them will end up at exactly the same place.

Output your panorama with all exposure layers, and you get all your pano for
HDR.

IMHO, it's the best option (and the one I currently use).

cri,

I had originally renamed all my different exposure files to match up
with the original exposure...  That's not too bad but I think your
"legit" method of just applying a different exposure's .pto file as a
template is a bit better and more convenient.

I'll let you know how it works out!

BTW - Yes... Using a great tripod is a must when your panorama is 240
photos.. =)

[hugin-ptx] Re: Any way to reuse control points on a different set of images?

2010-04-16 Thread cri
Have you tried to use a template? Just load all the photo at the same
exposure level and go through all the needed passages to get the final
panorama. Then save the project as pto file. Now start a new poject,
load all the images at a different exposure level and select "File-
>Apply template". In the dialog select the previously saved pto file
and you will get all the parameters loaded on the new exposure level
images. In this way you could save a panorama for every exposure
level.
To get the best out of this procedure you need to take all the images
from a tripod.

Cristian
