Here's a recap of my workflow. I need to test it some more, but so far it seems to work:
- shoot ~10 tiles for a spherical pano, total of ~30 images with 3x bracketing (10.5mm, full-frame fisheye, 6 tiles around, 2x-3x up, 2x down) - pre-process to increase sharpness and local contrast (wide unsharp-mask) - load all images into hugin - select each bracket group in images tab, make new stack, run align-image-stack -f %v -e -v -p %o -i -c 1 -g 2 %i - select all images in images tab, unlink positions - select "best" image in each stack and run cpfind+celeste to get the tiles to align - run optimizer in incremental from anchor mode - check control points table for worst fit and fiddle with control points, re-run optimizer with "everything without translation", repeat... - I often take a nadir shot from a slightly moved position so I don't have shadows in the same spot, to align those images I set them to use a different lens, which offers a few more degrees of freedom and I make sure control points are only set in the small area I need from those shots - mask tripod/feet out of shots in the mask tab, use "exclude region from stack" - run exposure optimization using HDR, var white bal, fixed exposure - fiddle with view in the fast preview - calculate optimal FOV in stitching tab - stitch using exposure fused from any arrangement to jpeg Q-90 - adjust final histogram and colors in regular photo editor - phew! If you have suggestions or corrections, I'd love to hear. Getting this far has taken many hours of fiddling with hugin. One thing I don't know is whether setting the EV in hugin makes a difference when using the exposure fusing, I believe not. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
