Yes, that's exactly what I do.

That depends. We're looking at a single step. I have a script that reads in files from the camera, only actually transferring files that aren't already there. It would be trivial to augment it to put it through something like dcraw, if I thought that mindless conversion of images made sense. > Other than the work required (which may be non-trivial, balanced > against the fact that the Hugin developers have other things they > want to do, not to mention lives outside of Hugin), there's no > reason Hugin couldn't do the same thing. In fact, I'm working in exactly the opposite direction, writing scripts that automate more and more of what Hugin does. But yes, possibly the option of starting a raw converter of your choice might make sense. >> Just checked https://www.ptgui.com/features.html: yes, PTGui uses >> dcraw to convert the images.

Of course not, but that misses the point: the original poster wanted PTGui just for the raw conversion functionality. If he uses a standalone program to do the conversion, then he can use Hugin and doesn't need PTGui. Greg -- Sent from my desktop computer. Finger [email protected] for PGP public key.
