Additional info. Since I had a backup of the original configuration, I |
| 40 |
decided to give the new defaults a test drive. I clicked the Load |
| 41 |
Defaults button and it changed about everything. The old settings |
| 42 |
seemed to have left completely. Keep in mind, this install goes back |
| 43 |
YEARS. It may be well over a decade old as far as configs go. I copied |
| 44 |
/home over from my previous system. The new default is Hugin's CPfind. |
| 45 |
I've taken a few panoramic pictures and give it a go. At first, I did a |
| 46 |
couple control points manually for each set if pics. Then on the last |
| 47 |
two sets, I loaded the images and just hit Create Control Points and let |
| 48 |
'er go. After clicking all the other things and telling it to stitch, |
| 49 |
they turned out awesome. I looked for errors in the picture but I |
| 50 |
couldn't find any. Since my pics were mostly of trees, I looked for |
| 51 |
trees that were bent or out of line in some way. I couldn't find |
| 52 |
anything wrong. Darn software does a awesome job. :-D |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Only downside, the resulting files are pretty large even when I scale |
| 55 |
them down a bit. Most image hosting sites cut off file sizes and mine |
| 56 |
are to big. Gotta find a solution for that problem, new image site |
| 57 |
maybe?? |

Thanks for the reply Meik. It got me to test some really new settings. |
| 60 |
Something I should have done a LONG time ago. |
