But I never had a good mental model of what that behavior was and the surprises in behavior were part of the problem. Later I may try to test a bit and see where the behavior doesn't fit your description. I hope Bruno and others will answer your question, because I'm pretty sure Bruno disliked the current magnifier hiding and would be more competent to explain why and/or have more mainstream reasons. For myself, I am slow at parsing visual information, such as comparing what I see in one magnifier to what I see in the other, so as I'm deciding whether to move it more, the magnifier is gone and I can't finish deciding. I also find it very odd that there is so often a magnifier on one image but not on the other. Is there a point to that, which I'm missing? The basic activity is comparing the location of the cp in one image to its location in the other. When is that helped by seeing the cp in a different way in one image vs. the other? When the context (from hiding the magnifier) is helpful, isn't it needed on both; When the magnifier itself is helpful, isn't it the comparison between the two, which is actually helpful? > > -- 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.
