I'm against this proposal and this for several reasons. > ...and I suspect doing it like this > would avoid the nasty 'whorl' artefacts we get at the zenith/nadir > (this assumption needs testing). AFAICT, your whorl comes from Enblend treating images in an Euclidean coordinate system. The tricks we play with the Born-von Karman cyclic boundaries work well along a single dimension, but not simultaneously on two. As we all know, E^2 is only locally isomorphic to S^2. So, we gain nothing here by a merge with nona. > The disadvantage is that is wouldn't > be possible to optimise the seam position as we currently do with > enblend. Rosomack is currently working on a final version of the GraphCut algorithm, a former GSoC project. I would not allow his efforts to be neutralized. Some objections, which come in mind: (1) Tried-and-true UN*X maxim: one task one tool. This gives the users the freedom of choice: Enblend or Multiblend or whatever they want, Nona as remapper or whatever desired. Being able to check the remapped images piecemeal also is an important advantage. We would have to code it if it was not there. (2) Enblend is already complicated enough, presumably Multiblend won't be much simpler when as mature or feature-loaden. Why, the hack should we merge two (or more) intricate software packages into a true monstrosity? Who will be able to maintain it?
