The warning is based on the average distance of the control point pairs in the stitched panorama. The error is measured in output pixels, so if you scale the panorama down, it will have a lower error. It is only calculated when you reoptimize though. > Is there something I should be expecting in the output based on the > align warning that I am missing? From where I am sitting the > information seems not very useful. Zoom in to one of your panos and look at long lines. See if you can spot any kinks. If you have a lot of control points with a high error on sharp lines you will probably notice misalignment in the stitch, so this warning is useful sometimes. If you have only control points with a high error in sky, water, or something else where the seem won't be noticeable, you probably won't see any error, even though Hugin may report a bad fit. If you get 'Very bad fit' you should do something to fix it, but any of the other states will do if your Panorama doesn't have many long lines. -James -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
