Hi Yuv, The biggest advantage I see in blending first is just how much use you can get out of the blended exposure layers. Since I generate them for each project, it makes things simpiler to use them in the enfusion. Some examples: 1) Use layers in gimp to remove movement of faces by overlay face

Hi Kay, I typically add as many CP as I can and after the first alignment I will delete those that are definitely bad. Usually, there will be many points with errors of several thousand pixels. You can usually see a distribution change between normal and outliers. After this, I will set the Nad
