Wow Tim, Nice work, too! Urs has sent me his .pto file, so I'm going to have a play with that at home. But yeah, I'd love it if you were happy to send me a full sized tiff. Thanks! Cheers, Bruce Williams.
Second attempt to send this. Apologies if it comes through twice. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Tim Rolph <timro...@timrolph.plus.com> Date: Wed., 6 Mar. 2019, 17:39 Subject: Re: Fwd: [darktable-user] OT: Any Hugin experts here? To: Bruce Williams <stu...@audio2u.com> Hi Bruce, not an expert here either but have used Hugin successfully on many panoramas. Yours was more of a challenge because of the waves and a couple of image boundary's had small coverage with few contol points. I finished it off with the gimps heal selection and heal tool. What do you think? If you want me to send a PNG file at 23mb or tiff at 33mb I can. Tim. On Tuesday, 5 March 2019 22:00:25 GMT you wrote: > Urs, > Awesome.
