Hi Rhonda, looking your snowscape project file I see that the last image is in a different directory (folder "Desktop backgrounds", try to omit spaces and special characters in file and folder names...) than the others. It's usually best to keep all image files plus the .pto in the same folder. The lens is now optimized to about a 13 mm rectilinear lens, that's pretty unlikely. I'll reset that to something more plausible like 35 mm (v54 for your images in landscape orientation). Also the values for your camera's sensor shift (d and e) seem to be off, I'll reset those to 0.
I opened the .pto in hugin 0.7 svn2765 and your output settings in the stitcher tab are set to output remapped images and no blended panorama (but enfused, please). I deselect the exposure blending option and select to output a normal blended panorama, I guess that's what you want to get. Now in the Optimizer tab I switch to "Optimize the custom parameters below", deselect everything but y (never for all images, leave one deselected as anchor image) and v. Some CPs look like they are way off now in the control point table. Now I also select 'p' for all images and optimize again. Still looks good with my dummy images. In the panorama preview window I click on the 'Center' button. Adding 'r' to the optimization makes everything go haywire. Did you shoot those images from a tripod or did you just aim at the horizon? Was the camera aimed at the horizon or slightly tilted up or downwards? The fourth images doesn't look like it has too much overlap with the third one. You don't use a wide angle converter, do you? I also reset all p and r values to 0 in the images tab, try different optimizing combinations, delete some of the control points that are far from one image's center. If I had the images I would probably try to find more control points but I guess that's not really easy in this case. My best guess for the moment (i.e. without seeing the original images) is snowscape2.pto in the files section. pano-4.JPG is now assumed to be in the same folder as the other images and the .pto file. That seems to work (stitch some output) in hugin 0.7 svn2765 on a G4 with 10.3.9. Oh no, I get an "Error while executing process", I'll better switch to a different OS / hugin combination... Update: works in hugin 0.8.0 svn3888 20090529 from Harry on a G4 with 10.5.7 Carl Rhonda wrote: > Sure. I can upload the actual photos as well if you like.
