There is a mode in the control point tab which is supposed to automatically position the CP in the second window when you click in the first - the 'auto estimate' mode. If the images already overlap correctly, the automatically generated second half of the control point would appear in the right position in the second image. Alas, this mechanism seeems to be flawed; I find it forever puts the new point some 20-100 pixels away from where it should be, for no reason I can figure out. That's why I never use it. The manual points out that: 'auto estimate: Tries to estimate the position of the second point by estimating the translation between the two images. This is very crude and probably only works for single row panoramas created from Rectilinear Projection images.' Crude indeed. This would be the place where a guiding line cold pop up if you had the same image in the left and right window - if you could choose that you want a line control point before you click - annoyingly enough, though, you can only choose after you've set the point. I feel it's been a while since anyone has had a good look at the control point editor. It feels awkward - it's UI has something haphazard and arbitrary to it, and it could certainly do with some TLC. I hope that eventually CP editing on warped images with a preview- like view will appear, maybe making the old CP editor redundant. Luckily, though, the brickstone wall scenario is a bit of a 'pathological case' and doesn't happen so often particularly now that manual CP editing is rarely needed since the automatic CPGs are doing such a reliable job. That's probably why the old CP editor has been left untouched. But precise positioning with 'auto estimate' and automatic horizontal and vertical helplines popping up in both images when the same image is in both windows, or when line control points are preselected (if that was possible) would help. with regards Kay -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
