If you are using the Advanced interface you can pick the image that you 
want to be centered by going to the Photos tab and then right clicking 
on the image you want centered and select "Anchor this image for 
position".  The image will be centered after you optimize your panorama.


If you are using the Simple interface or you have clicked the GL preview 
icon you can select the Move/Drag tab and simply move/drag the image 
around till the image is centered in a way that you like it.

It doesn't matter how many control points you have set if you have 
parallax distortion between the 2 images.  I've had images with 80 
control points between them and it still can't stitch them successfully 
because the control points don't makes sense because of the distortion.



You said I could rotate it in hugin? How does one do that?


In the preview, go to the MOve/Drag tab and drag the image with the 
right mouse button and it will rotate.

You can check your layout tab in the fast panorama preview

You will also want to look for images with very thin lines

going between the images.  Thin lines represent weak
connections and you will need to increase the number of
control points between your images.

There is also a high probability, since you said you hand
held the camera when you took the pictures that even though
you picked matching spots in the image that there is no way
for the program to warp the images  correctly due to parallax
distortion.  If your images are of the inside of a room,
that's almost certainly the case.

Re: hugin

2016-06-22 Thread Brian Cluff
When you do the final stitching you have to check off what kind of 
output you want.  By default it will give you a jpg or tiff, but if you 
look further down the  stitching page you will find "High dynamic range 
merged stacks".


That being said, I don't think that this is what you think it is. That 
will output a HDR file which is an image that contains a lot more light 
data than can be viewed directly in an image viewer. They are used 
heavily in programs like blender or in video games.


What you are looking for is called tone mapping where you compress a 
broader level of light data into a visible space, which is what 
LuminanceHDR does.


I would stick with LuminanceHDR and just use it's interface to hugin to 
align images properly.


doing it the other way around you would still have to load the HDR file 
that hugin makes into LuminanceHDR so that you could get a visible image 
out of it.


All that being said, you could select the "Exposure fused stack" option 
in hugin and get an HDR image, but you have little to no control of how 
the output will look, so you are better off using LuminanceHDR again.

I just found out you can do HDR with hugin.

How do you do it? I found the instructions but:

 1. Take bracketed  shots of
your scene.
done

 2. Open bracketed images in Hugin. Align - let's say - the middle
exposures together and set the stacks in the /Images/ tab.
 1. If your stacks don't align (shot hand-held, sloppy panohead,
etc.), set some control points inside stacks and align them too.
done not sure about 'set[ting] the stack in the /Images/ tab'

 3. Stitch the panorama with hugin  and
done
 4. enblend  to HDR file.
not done. how?
5.

 6. Optionally tonemap the result with qtpfsgui
.
