I was using that and setting it higher since long before I decided to try to get the build of hugin to work for me. It certainly is something I wanted as a user. Maybe it depends on your display resolution whether it is helpful. Interpolation artifacts don't necessarily prevent the feature from providing better information as you decide whether a manually adjusted CP is in exactly the right place. A larger width for the magnifier is likely a prerequisite for a larger scale to be useful and a high resolution on your physical display is likely a prerequisite for the larger width to be useful. I doubt I'm the only user who wants to work that way. But I suspect I'm in a much smaller minority both in taking the trouble to find out what hugin registry setting would do it and in being comfortable with regedit. > Sorry, but an casual user does not understand this logic.

The tooltip inside the preferences dialog explains the main use. The two notes on the side explained only the exceptions. I would also edit the help text. It may be hard for you to see as a long time user, but most settings in hugin preferences are much harder for inexperienced users to understand. I'm happy to try to improve it. But I think I started at better than average. -- 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.
