Hi Dave, I also fuse first (but maybe I'm a bit biased being the writer of the ImageFuser tool). The reason I do this is that Hugin has sometimes difficulties in finding CP's between the very dark and light images in such bracketed sets. It is sometimes also hard to do that by hand. In that case prefusing the helps a lot.
As an addition to what Gerry said about hand-held images: You can use align_image_stack to perfectly align your bracketed photos before fusing them. The better fusing gui's come with align_image_stack and do support that. Harry 2009/5/23 Peter Gawthrop <[email protected]> > > Hi Dave, > > I fuse first.
