<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Andrew,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>first congratulation to this wonderfull piece of software you have written.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Also the new version 1.0 is much faster and needs less amount of memory than 0.9 there is sometimes a problem in the final image.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I have 2 sample images blended with version 0.9 and version 1.0. While the old version is ok in the new version there is a small triangle visible which is shifted some pixels upwards and which have also a darker luminosity.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>See the test images under <A HREF="http://ptsuite.sourceforge.net/enblend-test/" TARGET="_blank">http://ptsuite.sourceforge.net/enblend-test/</A></FONT>
</P>
<BR>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>An other point is the generation of the source images.</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2>I always read that ptstitcher with "tiff_m" should be called. But the masks which the ptstitcher creates for each of the generated images are blending masks which don't cover the whole source image area. So you loose information and quality when you blend these images. The only correct way that I know to generate the source images with ptstitcher is to create many panoramas with "tiff_mask" which contain always only one source image. Then the mask in the projected image is correct.</FONT></P>
