Control points?

[Leonard Evens]

I am using hugin with NEF (raw) images.  When I try to set control points, the image becomes  qui te small, so I can hardly see what I am doing.

When setting conntrol points on a .jpg image, tha t doesn't happen.

What is going on?

Hugin can not really read NEF files. I suppose it only uses the embedded
preview jpg in your case, therefore your small images in the control
point window. You will have to use a raw converter (darktable,
rawtherapee, ufraw, dcraw, ...) and convert your NEF files to some
format hugin can read (tiff, jpg, ...).

Thank you. That makes sense. I will try that.
