[ptx] Problems with Autopano-Sift, Hugin, Enblend workflow for windows

[Mike Runge]

Hi Mark,
I'm using autopano-sift 1.7/hugin/enblend on wxpSP2.
See my comments between the lines

I didn't installed this one

- Install pano tools (at least pano12.dll and PTOptimiser)

As far as I understood, the GUI is not working actually. Just drop your
image files onto autopano-sift.vbs (Installation put's an icon on your
desc).
Change some settings (if needed) and run. This will give you a hugin.pto
file

- Start hugin, open the ptofile.
- Correct the lens settings in the lesn tab (e.g. Load Exif).
- Add some verticals/horizontals
- Optimize(Custom) y,p,r
- check preview, edit boundaries/dimensions
- Optimize lens parameters
- stitch (nona, Tiff, Soft blending)
(- If required, load the final panorama and some of the single tiffs nona
creates in gimp/PS to edit some things manually.)

Hope this will work for you too,
mike
