Remarkably simple. Probably because I was only stitching two photos. 1): Emerge hugin. Current stable version is 2011.0.0, and that worked fine. 2) Launch hugin 3) Hugin defaults to leaving the wizard tab open. Load your source images (brum-3068.jpg, brum-3070.jpg). Because the files don't have EXIF data provided by the camera, you'll need to provide some key details about the lens used for the original pictures. I ventured a guess of 50mm, as that's the same as my prime lens, it's around the upper end of current kit lenses, and it's around the lower end of basic macro zoom lenses. It happened to work fine. 4) Click the "Align" button. Hugin will use its wizard to discover control points and optimize them. 5) Hugin will have popped open the fast preview window. As long as it looks somewhat fine, go back to the main Hugin window and click on the Stitcher tab.[1] Enable exposure-corrected, low dynamic range. Keep everything else disabled. Set your format and quality settings to taste. 6) Click "Stitch Now". Hugin will put the panorama image in the same directory as your source images. I'll email you the stitched-together file off-list. Outside the emerge, this whole process took less time on an Intel Pentium B940 than writing this email. [1] I probably could have clicked the 'Create Panorama' button in the wizard tab, but I fell back to habits. -- :wq
