Why my Hugin 2013 saving panos in tiff format?

[Pawel Rozenek]

Hi, for some strange reasons my Hugin 2013 is saving panoramas in tiff format instead of jpg. Of course I say to stich pictures in jpg (quality 90) format.

Can anyone please have idea what is wrong?

This actually happens here also, I just tried. No idea why.

OTOH I use 16 bit images and that won't work as a jpg. And later
retouching in an image editor just doesn't make sense when your working
file degrades every time you save. Which will happen with a jpg.

I usually prefer to have jpg only as the very last step prior to output
to web / print...

I have just checked in logs that Hugin requests this:

"C:/Program Files/Hugin/bin/enblend" --compression=90 –no-ciecam -w -f3000x1500 -o "panorama2.jpg" -- "panorama20000.tif" "panorama20001.tif" "panorama20002.tif" "panorama20003.tif" "panorama20004.tif" "panorama20005.tif" "panorama20006.tif" "panorama20007.tif" "panorama20008.tif" "panorama20009.tif" "panorama20010.tif" "panorama20011.tif" "panorama20012.tif" "panorama20013.tif" "panorama20014.tif" "panorama20015.tif" "panorama20016.tif" "panorama20017.tif" "panorama20018.tif" "panorama20019.tif" "panorama20020.tif" "panorama20021.tif" "panorama20022.tif" "panorama20023.tif" "panorama20024.tif" "panorama20025.tif" "panorama20026.tif" "panorama20027.tif" "panorama20028.tif" "panorama20029.tif" "panorama20030.tif" "panorama20031.tif" "panorama20032.tif" "panorama20033.tif" "panorama20034.tif" "panorama20035.tif"

I just got file called a.tiff!!!!!!!

So it is something wrong with enblend!

I found what was wrong - I typed -no-ciecam instead of -- (minus minus)

I'm like Carl. I don't convert images to JPG until I'm done with all
processing.

JPG is for web or otherwise sharing. I keep the 16-bit TIFF around in
case I need to do something later like lay out multiple images on larger
banner prints so I can print multiple panoramas in a single job. The
image for the large printout is JPG since CostCo's print system doesn't
appear to recognize other formats.
