I've tried out the RC1 build, and this new mask feature is really a
key feature for to make high quality panoramas of buildings or similar
scenes with straight sharp lines.
The thing is that if you want the best possible result you want to
more or less manually direct where the seams go, since you will know
better than enblend where the seam will be least visible. For example,
a building is often split into sections, and putting the seam exactly
at a section border usually makes it considerably less visible.
With the mask feature this is possible to do, by masking and leaving
only a small gap for enblend to make its seams (adding the --fine-mask
option to enblend is wise if the gaps become really small)
However, for this to be much easier to do, it would be great if you
could have a split view in the mask editor, so you can see masks on
one image while editing on another. The problem now is that you need
to remember exactly how you put the mask in the previous image when
making the corresponding masks on the next, which can be a challenge.

This would work.
An alternative would be to show the extent of the other photos and
their masks as an outline in the existing Mask tab.

I'd love to see the extent of the other photos and their masks - with an
option to display the other photo as semi-transparent b&w overlay.
what would also be nice IMO is if the image(s) would be warped. this would be
particularly helpful when adding masks along straight lines (e.g. buildings)
for non-rectilinear input images.

Of course it would be great to be able to zoom and adjust seams
directly in a readily adjusted panorama, but that would be rather hard
to implement. My idea with a split window is that it is easy to
implement and brings a lot of value when working with precision-placed
masks.
In the more distant future though I too would like to see a work flow
when you can bring back the rendered panorama into the GUI and do
further precision adjustments of seams and masks. However, that would
probably be a lot of implementation work...
