Well, at times you just don't get what you want ;-) If you look at what hugin shows you when you choose the cropping rectangle, you also see the parts of the image set which, later on, are cut off when the cropping happens. The only thing which lux does differently is that it does not mark these areas by making them a bit darker, and lux does not show the cropping rectangle as a white rectangle. lux also does not offer any interface to modify the cropping window. I feel that it's better for a program which is primarily an image *viewer* to show users all the available content and let them choose which part of the content they wish to look at and, potentially, save as a snapshot (pressing 'E'). Honouring the cropping rectangle in the p-line is to allow for stitching to the PTO file's specs (press Shift+E), so that lux can function as a drop-in replacement for stitching - nice to have, but more of a side product: I show the stitched view, so I might as well offer stitching services beyond capturing what's in the current display. That's how 'source-like snapshots' and the processing of the p-line came to be. One might consider adding code to lux to show all kinds of additional information - the cropping rectangle in the PTO's p-line is one such thing, then masks, horizon guideline etc.. I have thought about adding an optional vector layer for such data, but I haven't implemented anything along those lines yet, even though I find the idea attractive. Please keep in mind that I'm not trying to provide some sort of hugin clone. lux is a separate program and uses it's own logic, even though it can do things like understand PTO format to an extent, which I think is no mean feat. I think there aren't many image viewers out there which can do that at all. -- 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.
