I have just started to use Hugin. After trying to take some pictures with effect in a forest (and failing) I did some comparative tests between panorama and wide angle for the same HFOV. This has led me to delve deeper into the panorama style and the use of Hugin. I have a pano head arriving next week.
I am trying to get to grips with Hugin and figure out what throws it out. I went back to a very simple window frame with horizontals, verticals and straight lines, 3 shot hand held panorama. In each image the frame lines are straight within 3 pixels worst case with no lens correction. I only add control points manually to marks on the frames, control points placed within 1 pixel. I can perspective correct each frame individually in Hugin (http://hugin.sourceforge.net/tutorials/perspective/en.shtml) and they are spot on to easily merge in gimp say. If I put all 3 images into Hugin and match up the same control points the window frame goes all humpty and I the errors are not good. I guess I must be doing something to confuse Hugin but can't figure it out. Should I be perspective correcting the images before combining, does Hugin correct each image first and then try to combine or just try to average things out. Do I need to keep the camera dead level to avoid confusing Hugin, i.e wait for the pano head. Any help appreciated as this has me a bit baffled.
