ACTION REQUIRED

[Yuval Levy]

Hi Hugin community,

Below is a message I just found in my mailbox. Before you continue to
read, I suggest that you watch the youtube video sent with the message
and make up your own mind. The link: <https://youtu.be/EYa21pinHJo>

Give your feedback directly to Sourceforge -- contact details such as
email and phone number are below.

IMPORTANT: if SourceForge does not receive feedback within a week, this
video will be on Hugin's project summary pages.

My own opinion withheld.

To help you enhance your project summary pages so visitors can quickly
decide if your software fits their needs, we added a new feature to the
page called the "Editor's Review
<https://sourceforge.net/blog/announcing-new-editors-reviews>". Our
Community Team, along with myself as the Senior Editor at SourceForge,
manages this review. The Editor's Review includes a written review with
the top features and images and/or a short video preview, depending on
the project.

For example, here’s a video we’ve come up with for your project:
https://youtu.be/EYa21pinHJo

If we don’t hear from you in a week, we’ll go ahead and update
your SourceForge project page with this video review. If you wish us to
edit or improve it, please let us know and we'll pause it until edited.
If you think that a video just doesn't fit your Project Summary Page let
us know, and we'll remove it right away.

We can also help you obtain up-to-date screenshots that promote the best
qualities of your product (or you can them to your project summary
page). As you know, nothing grabs a user’s attention like images when
they’re trying to decide on a product.

Let us know if you have any questions and thanks for being part of
the SourceForge community!

Warmly,

Hi Elisabeth,

Although I understand that sourceforge has gone through some effort to
produce that video, it clearly shows that the creator of that video
does not understand the basics of Hugin.

Taking three pictures-of-dogs and making that into a "panorama" is the
first clear hint.

The second example is that she sets the JPG output quality to 100%.

(JPEG compression at 95% is indistinguisable from 100%, and 100% only
causes an unreasonable increase in size. If you want to prevent
possible quality loss by using 100%, then you should not chose for a
lossy compression like jpeg which will still lose quality at
100%. Choose tiff in that case.)

Roger Wolff.

Indeed. It's a nice gesture to create a video, but you could have
saved yourself a lot of time by informing us first, so that we could
point you to the tutorials.

Still, the idea of a video is good. Would somebody like to help put
together a real-life use of Hugin?

Regarding putting this example up on the web site: please, no.

Fantastic! SourceForge should sell their previews to great companies
like Microsoft or Adobe, I'm sure they would be enthusiastic :-P

Seriously, I don't think anybody who sees this Hugin preview will even
want to download Hugin itself. Or is she/he does, it will certainly be
for the wrong reasons
