I think those sample images were not the best that could have been chosen to illustrate flat stitching, with their abstract design and lack of visual clues as to orientation. I had to double check to make sure they hadn't been rotated as it's not immediately obvious, nor is it easy to gauge how the two images overlap just by looking at them.
I wonder if masking out the blurred areas would help. > Undoubtedly. The down side is that you rob yourself of image data that could still make a useful contribution to blending (even in this case - the fine lines might be blurred but the lower frequency information could still be useful). I'd love to see some sort of seam hinting - perhaps some way of passing on to the blender that you don't want seams to cross a certain area, or to force them to follow a certain path. Blending water waves, for example, can be hard to do seamlessly, and one useful technique is to draw a meandering seam line. I did once write a (very basic) GUI that let you manipulate blending seams, but only between two images, and these days I use multiblend's --save-seams and --load-seams. I think the same thing is possible with Enblend, but is much more convoluted. -- 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.
