Hi Volker !

Thanks for your help. Stitching 2 pieces is indeed not a problem, as I
mentioned earlier the problem is to stitch 24 of them together with
the required quality. The 2 sample files (and resulting picture) don't
have the necessary quality to read the names of the roads. The
resolution needs to be by factors higher, plus there are 12 times more
input pictures, so the size of the final picture is not manageable by
home computers.
To solve this, Hugin would have output tiles of the big picture
instead of a single file, without loading the whole in memory. I could
imagine this requires quite some design changes.

Additionally, this step :

> - Loaded both images in GIMP, cut out a piece from one map, moved them
> manually, and merged them

is not doable on a large scale. This process has to be repeated for
lots and lots of pieces and towns.
Here I see 2 solutions :
- more options for the blending : for instance, in this case,
dst=min(src1, src2) for each color channel would do the trick
- support of transparency in both input and output (like I said,
original PNG's are not black on white, but black on transparent)
