I am a big fan of the Layout mode in preview as it can give a quick feel 
for where problem areas are.  Unfortunately, I think one if its most 
powerful tools, the gray lines between overlapping but un-connected images 
is missing a key feature.  A 1 click option to add CPs between any pair of 
images by clicking on the same gray line would be very helpful.  The 
current mode of opening the 2 images in the control points tab is useful, 
but does not allow for quick automatic adding of lots of CPs.  (Adding the 
same "auto add between pair" button on this tab would also be nice). 
 Having to navigate to the Images tab, selecting the 2 images that overlap, 
then clicking the auto add button is tedious, especially when it needs to 
be repeated many times.

While I would be happy stopping here, there are further improvements that 
could be made.

- Add calculations to a Queue so multiple pairs could be identified 
quickly, then processed all at once with a go button
- Re-use the initial image analysis of repeat images to avoid doing the 
same calculation multiple times for images that show up in multiple pairs.
-Have a find all button that looks at every overlap to check for CPs.

It seems like there are a lot of shortcuts to already existing 
functionality that could be added to Preview to streamline the process and 
generate better images.
