Has anyone studied smartblend verbose output to figure out how it works? It is vastly superior to enblend (in terms of seam placement). And it's old, crusty, closed-source, and definitely not going to be updated again. This to me is one of the biggest drawbacks to the hugin collection of softwa

Agree, RAW input for stitching is a bad idea. At the very least you want to set white balance on your raw images (although it's true hugin can fix white balance, this is not ideal) Even if Hugin did have raw input, it would simply use dcraw for this most probably. I'm not in favor of adding thi

Hi, the --fullscale flag in cpfind is ok, but really makes no sense considering the size of input images could vary by huge amounts. wouldn't it make more sense to have a setting for the target pixel size that cpfind should reduce the image to? e.g. cpfind would reduce all source images to 200
