I set 6 points on each picture, which are 2 overlapping parts of a single original negative, but all it offered was a black screen; I did follow the on-line help. Then I tried Imagemagick & got a good result after a bit of fussing. The commands I used were convert -size 1000x760 canvas:black brum-canvas.jpg composite -geometry +0+0 brum-3070.jpg brum-canvas.jpg brum-1.jpg composite -geometry +220-8 brum-3068.jpg brum-1.jpg brum-2.jpg You can see the images at http://www.chass.utoronto.ca/~purslow/test/ : they are of trams in Colmore Row, Birmingham in May 1953 . I still need to light/darken 1 image a bit to hide the join, but as a proof of concept this shows it's feasible with Imagemagick. Any further advice re Hugin is welcome: can anyone do it with these photos ? -- ========================,,============================================ SUPPORT ___________//___, Philip Webb ELECTRIC /] [] [] [] [] []| Cities Centre, University of Toronto TRANSIT `-O----------O---' purslowatchassdotutorontodotca
