Hi there Tim, I have never had one take as long as you are describing. I will often have 40-50 images in a project. The whole optimizing control points part tends to take less than a minute for me. What version of Hugin are you running?
Why do you use the align command a second time? If it is taking so long, why use it at all? You can find the control points on the images tab and optimize everything on the optimize tab.(If you have 2012, on 2013 switch to expert and the settings are all on the photos tab) After optimizing the changes should be in the preview. As far as I know there is no reason to use the align button. It appears to be there for people who want a 3 step solution. With the bracketing it sounds like yours is far from a three step answer. At this point I would try to go without using align and see if that solved your problem. *If align actually does something that is required someone please correct me*. I wonder if the bracketed photos are your problem. Have you tried a set with a single exposure? If that helps you could do all three exposures by themselves and then stitch them together or I hear a lot of people like to do that part in photoshop. -- A list of frequently asked questions is available at: http://wiki.panotools.org/Hugin_FAQ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "hugin and other free panoramic software" group.
