Thanks for the reply Bruno. > The setting for saving remapped images is lower down. Yeah. I guess the nomenclature threw me off. I've had no problem producing basic panoramas from the start. It's just as I learn more what I want to do, I have difficulty discerning exactly what each checkbox/button/field exactly does.

Right, it's just that as I puzzle out the funtions, I try to leave behind whatever traces of the work so I can see what happens. > Yes, Hugin needs more documentation and tutorials. The GUI itself > needs improvement. Yes, but don't get me wrong. The project is fantastic to the point of being magical. My excitement about wanting to learn more and try all the possibilities is proof of how compelling it is. I just figure that I am a rare and ideal resource for Hugin as I am: 1.) excited about learning it, 2.) have a some baseline of computer and imaging experience (which is probably a lower baseline than most users,) 3.) most important, I have not yet become accommodated to the software, 4.) and I have some skills in design, user research, interpretation, and writing. The catch-22 is, once a person actually learns how to use a tool, it is much harder to access the gist of conceptual difficulties in learning it. > Part of the problem is that concepts like > exposure fusion, optimisation or HDR merging just can't be made > intuitive. That's true. And it probably doesn't have to be intuitive, although if it can be made appropriately transparent and accessible (which is also difficult,) it can be made easier to access and use. > -- > Bruno Thanks again, Bruno. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
