Anyway, normally, it will be photos of landscapes, and when I'm trying to
make proper panaramas, I WILL take much more care. This was a case of
wanting half a dozen pictures to play with, so get the camera out and
click,click,click,click,click,click as I'm standing in the centre of the
room and turning slightly for each picture.
To be honest, considering how badly some of the pictures line up, the job it
did (once I'd given it enough control points) is not too bad. If you look
closely, the perspective looks a bit odd, and there are kind of 'creases'
in one or two of the joins, but I suppose however well you do it, a 3D room
'opened out' into a 2D picture IS going to look a little bit strange... :-)

This is where you tell Hugin to output a layered TIFF or multiple TIFF
images. Then you bring them into Photoshop and tweak the edges.

For instance, in this image:

....the clouds were moving pretty quickly, so even though there were no
obvious parallax problems, the subject matter was changing between
shots. I had the visual equivalent of a skipping record. So I painted
the layer mask of the various layers to mask out the redundant clouds.
This is something no software can do (at present <g>), and in fact the
auto-aligner had added control points on those clouds, and I had to
remove them to make the stitch work.
