[ptx] HUGIN/autopano/Enblend/suggestions

Hello Pablo,

thanks for your fast and comprehensive answer.

I have red your discussion about this with Marko Mäkelä and I am
wondered
that this is a problem. In PTGUI you can see the images in portrait
mode,
set the controlpoints and after optimization the roll parameter is
approximately 90 degrees. But no problem to rotate the images before
HUGIN,
is it only a little bit unconvenient.

Thats sounds very good. BTW I have found a (german) GUI for enblend,
look at this:

Oh thats good news. I've been waiting on your new version of nona.

I have tried to optimize a single image to remove the perspective
distortion
in HUGIN with nona and PTOptimizer but with no result. I am wrong?

Ciao Karsten
