[ptx] Image resolution of stitched images

[Philipp B. Koch]

I have a question about the image resolution of images being stitched 
with Hugin. Since I haven't found this topic in the mailing list 
subjects, I hope it has not already been dealt with.

My source images (made with Nikon Coolpix 5400) are 2592 x 1944 pixels 
(= 5 MP) of size and their resolution is 300 pixels/inch when being 
opened in Photoshop. After stitching them together with Hugin, image 
size (both pixel measures and printing size) is pretty huge while 
resolution is only 72 pixels/inch. For example: The original image 
printing height (source images) shown in Photoshop would be 16,46 cm at 
300 pixels/inch -- the stitched images have a height of 71,12 cm at 72 
pixels/inch. This is a problem because printing them shows bad results 
(ugly small squares in the image caused by low resolution). First I 
thought, this might be caused by Enblend, but already the result images 
(flatened TIFF using PTStitcher, no color/brightness correction) 
generated by Hugin are like that.

How can I avoid Hugin from setting down image resolution? What am I 
doing wrong?

Thanks, Ph.Koch (Berlin, Germany)
