My apologies John and Carl. With both of you telling me it should work I decided to try again - even though I was convinced I did as you directed and it didn't work. I tried again, and it worked beautifully. Unfortunately, I don't know what I (or Hugin?) did wrong before, but it's working nicely now. Thanks for prodding me along.
Now that the blending anomaly is gone my interest has move to the shade of blue it selected for the sky. It picked a paler shade of blue that I would like. Is there a way to direct it to pick a darker exposure?
