[ptx] Re: Hugin stitching not working

Thu Jul 7 18:24:25 BST 2005

Hi Carl,

I don't really know much about reading the scripts below, as I am just using 
hugin.  I am very new to this.  I added the optimization and control points 
you show below to test.pto manually, and then ran "PTOptimizer test.pto".  
The test.pto is attached to this email.

It appears as though there is something wrong with hugin.  I dont understand 
what is going on.  I still get the left picture on the right, and vice versa.  
I don't know if I have PTStitcher installed correctly. ...Does PTStitcher 
create the preview panorama for hugin?

Thanks,
Sean
