I, too, have recently discovered this capability within Hugin. It is really convenient for those times you forget your tripod! But also, it works great for general HDR workflow too. It is really useful that it produces exr images that can be further edited in Darktable, etc. Hugin is such a great tool!
Wonderful tutorial! It is more or less how I have been doing it, but I definitely learned a few new tricks in there!

Thanks! Maybe with the help of @patdavid and @Dario_M (and others?) we can transform it into a real tutorial? It would need a more representative example of bracketed image and some better/more exhaustive text…

Yes! I had been working on one for a panorama, but have not be able to achieve good results lately. I can capture some bracked shots for this.
This was not clear to me, perhaps it is a different because you’re on OS X. When you click the “Create control points” button, does it launch the “Finding control points” action or does it move you to the “Optimizer” tab?
It launches the “Finding control points” action and then I move manually to the “Optimizer” tab to compute the actual alignment parameters…
Yes! This would be great! I, too, will be happy to help if I can. Certainly I could donate some bracketed shots at the very least. Just let me know what I can do to help!
Cool, I will do that ASAP. It the first day of class today, and I have to finish preparing my lectures, but I will try to get this done by tomorrow afternoon…
@Carmelo_DrRaw @Isaac I’ve started adapting a tutorial over here: https://github.com/paperdigits/website/tree/hugin-aligning-images-tutorial/src/articles/aligning-images-with-hugin

Awesome! I took a few indoor bracketed example shots yesterday, but want to get some outdoor ones too. What is the best way to get you the images? Fork the git repo, add them and issue a pull request? Just hist them somewhere? Do you want raw images? Jpegs? Tiffs?
I’ll get them where ever you put them. Github pull request with raw images would be best and easiest for me.

Just an FYI, I’ve forked the website repo, made my local clone and have merged up to your “hugin-aligning-images-tutorial” branch. I will add the bracketed shots over the weekend and then will send you a pull request when it is ready!

Awesome!
Just submitted a pull request to you. Added bracketed images and a readme.md file to explain them. Let me know if you need anything else!!
Awesome! Thank you, I saw that earlier but don’t have github access on my phone. I’ll pull it tomorrow.

No lens profile, but I have been achieving good results simply setting lens information manually each time with “equirectangular”, choosing focal length of 12mm, and crop factor of 2 (micro four thirds). The lens is the Samyang/Rokinon 12mm f2. I did a half-hearted Google search for an available lens profile file for this lens the other day, but didn’t find one. Have been too busy to set up a proper calibration image to make a profile with hugin calibration tool, but could try to do that in the next few days…
Hi,
I also wanted to say that I have used hugin lately for some blending of bracketed (non tripod) panorama shots. It works great for the alignment and I do love the “exposure fused from stack” output as it gives me a very nice realistic look (not the overly HDR-effect kind of look), which is a great starting point for further processing (if wanted).
So thanks to the developers !!!

I finally had time to circle back to the tutorial, if anyone wants to proof read it, it can be found here.
