Image editors save files with various color profiles, black-scaled or so... Are the images loaded to Hugin converted to bitmaps (or .tif) for processing? If yes, there should be no problem to stitch images even in different formats - jpg + png, jpg + bmp, jpg + tif, any that Hugin can open. Not to mention .jpg + .jpg (any colour profile). Even if there are slight differences in colours in various color profiles, they can be simply discarded. Hugin can blend them perfectly.
First is to define the base profile, how the images are converted to bitmaps, then it will be possible to work with all supported image formats, discarding the color profiles. It resembles work with Virtual Dub, a simple, but powerful video editor. When trying to merge two or more video files into one, and videos framerate differ by .00001s from the same camera, one file cannot be appended to the other. User converts and tries again. Now the audio streams are different. 128 vs 256 kb/s. VDub will not pass. Ok, user converts. Third attempt. One stream is variable bitrate, the other is constant. Will not pass. And so, a simple operation that can be done in 15 minutes extends to long hours. Not to mention, it works only with .avi and all frames must be the same size, the same color profile and cannot contain EXIF data. :( -- 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.
