>BTW : did I say that 1.9.0 will come next month ?

Trop cool... ca va être dur d'attendre... Eeeeh, mais je pars aux USA fin mai... je verrais donc cette 1.9.0 qu'en rentrant fin Juin, mais là, je pourrais faire un test intensif avec cette nouvelle version car j'aurais surement un bon millier de panos à assembler...

I have a question. Why 1.4.2 is available via the "Latest Beta" page and not the official site? Is it considered a beta? If so, shouldn't it have a proper label, like 1.4.2 Beta 1?

We were waiting one week of beta testing to make this version available in the official site. We'll try to patch this settings issue before putting this release to the main site.

Hi Rami!

Nice done! BUT: what´s the deeper sense of that for practical work? What after all is the exact meaning/definition of "pyramidal"?
Where does it come fom? I mean: it´s very interesting what the wiki says . . but . . does this "pyramidal"- thing only influence/equalize colors?
What means:  "It's not coded as a pyramid level but as a stop condition." Is a "pyramid-level" something like an exposure-level or numbers of f-stops?
In fact, this description doesnt´tell me anything at all . . .

best, Klaus

The parameter name, pyramidal, don't matter (provided we all use this name.)

In the commentaries, the only useful informations are:
- the smaller the value the stronger the changes
- very large values do nothing
- value 4 is the default

Illustrations are, by far, the most important part. They really tell me something and trying to describe that using words seems useless!

Given the illustrations, my questions are:

1) what is the example image actual pixel size ? (= image size don't matter ?)

2) why no attempt at using 2, 1 or 0 values ? (= are value smaller than the default useless ?)

On the same web page the interpolator section is a clear example of why documentation is difficult: it's obvious for any experienced user that the example is shown at 200% or more but inexperienced users will not figure that and will probably conclude using Spline64 is preferable !

That specifying example image sizes is mandatory is not obvious for everybody : I run the risk to look like a very boring person!

Hi GURL!

Yes - some simple descrition to start from in a way like:"if you want a result like THIS you have to do THAT" . . or something like that would be fine. When i´d have time enough i´d tend to test everything and gather experiences - but i´m in two productions at the moment to make three real big pictures printed @150dpi at app. 1,50x7m i´d welcome some hard facts to ease my work and get optimal results. Without spending days and nights of stitching/rendering again and again to explore new options in a software.

So in some bare words: what smartblend setting would show the best results in this task for an optimum resolution and sharpness?
