Hi Bruce, Here is the link with my pro and jpg file :

It might be just me but in such occasion I tend to do more shots than I would usually do so I have a lot more area in common on every pair. I also tend to be reasonably quick so that everything stay in a similar position (like wind in tree branches or vegetation, or waves) to avoid too big of a difference. In the photo tab (expert interface) you do have different views on the right that you can select, and if you look at exif there is everything Hugin needs to know. Like Urs I wonder why not everyone seem to be able to see that. Or maybe that exif view is just available from the expert interface ? I’m not sure about that. I’ve cleaned up the control points manually, added a few manually as well, and then also did the Positions/Translations step, and then stitch, nothing more. I think to fix the waves I would do some healing/cloning in photoshop, plus coloraturas adjustments etc, but the problem was on stitching right ? Is this the kind of result you were chasing ? Happy if this helps as I learned a few more things along the way :) Cheers > On 6 Mar 2019, at 07:59, Bruce Williams <[email protected]> wrote: > > 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.
