Hello Daniel,

that is exactly what I miss on emblend (or nona). I really want a 
blended multilayer file (tiff or psd) with blended masks (blured edges) 
and completely retained image layers of the original, by nona 
distorted, images on transparent background. That way, I got the most 
flexible multilayer pano, to further transform or blend manually, very 
distorted panos with huge parallax, whitebalance, exposition and other 
errors, made out of  handheld shots (without your handheld technique, 
Daniel).

Unfortunately I'm not yet a owner of a panohead, and my handshot panos 
are sometimes ok, but often very inaccurate with huge errors...

Kind regards
