This morning I have been trying to get hugin to repeat the ContractViolation and I am unable to make it do it, which is kind of odd as these images were doing it on two different computers and near as I can tell I have not changed anything that should have fixed it.

There is still a problem with the windows images, if I just load the images and send them to the assistant. it gives me a 'make: *** [all] Error 2' I have not tried to figure out what would cause that yet. If I do it step by step, from the image tab it works just fine now.(Earlier the control point finder was giving me the ContractViolation )

The idea of a virus checker is an interesting one. avast! Internet Security is installed on both Windows computers. It updates all of the time so it may have fixed itself, though that seems overly hopeful.

I think I have figured out what was going wrong with the images and why they were different. It turns out that when you put in a memory card my friend was clicking import instead of doing as I described above(open folder copy and pasting). On the mac she is likely doing some thing similar with Iphoto. When you import images it does not actually copy the image, it goes through a program for some reason and then is saved. Why Mac and Microsoft both think it is a good idea to not actually copy it but to instead resave it after changing the data and picture a little bit, I have no clue. Now that she is doing as described above I am pretty sure it is copying the image exactly as the camera made it, as the program that created it is listed as the camera.

The moral of the lesson. NEVER IMPORT. Instead copy and paste from the folder. You should get a better image as it has not been resaved and the the Exif data will not be changed which could prevent some errors.

Give me another day to see if I can get it to repeat the ContractViolation . Either way I will then make a zip with resized photos that people can experiment with.

Thank you all for your help.
