Hi Gerry,

I did not realize that my project sizes were that out of the ordinary,
but I did need to get a Core i7 based machine with 12GB of memory.  My
largest project uses over 11k control points: 
http://www.flickr.com/photos/rueike/3493769918/
I usually use the control points tab to add the max of 100 points for
all nominal exposure images in 2 rows, and then a second time for 2
rows with the middle row included both times.  Then I add control
points for each bracket set.  After first alignment, I use the control
point table to delete the worst, usually about 10%. Then I fine tune
the remainder until I get to a reasonable error.

Yes, I am using Vista.  I think that corrupt file occured when my
computer crashed during a file save due to a video driver error I have
been having.  Seems like 0.7.0 handles the corrupt file better than
SVN3906.

Regards,
Rick
