It seems to find CPs just fine, judging by inspection of points, and given that the optimization works great (when translation is not optimized)... I've used cpfind to find good points in images much darker than these, too, and it seemed fine? (Also, these are 16bit tiffs, so there's possibly more room at the bottom of the range to work with, even if the camera doesn't really use all those bits.) Doing some more googling, it seems that I was unwise to use translation optimization, as it's for cases where the tripod is really moved (e.g. capturing the nadir of a spherical 360 pano or other cases where the tripod is e.g. picked up and moved). I thought it was OK for small movements as well (e.g. non-calibrated non-pano-head tripod)... must have read that wrong somewhere. This post <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/hugin-ptx/w1a4FlOiTbw> seems to talk about something similar, but it's from 2010 so I'm not sure I should pay much attention to it... Thanks for the scripting/HDR tips. I haven't found an automatic HDR program that can match what one can do with manual blending (using luminosity masks), but I was planning to try letting hugin make the HDR attempt, and assuming it doesn't satisfy, was going to align/pano everything in hugin, export each HDR layer separately, and then blend in GIMP. Someday I will get around pano stuff on the command line. Now that I'm finally learning how to use hugin properly, though, I like it a lot. :-) -- 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.
