Re-arrange image order to fix "blackout" sections

[Rich MacDonald]

On very large renders (>15K pixels/side), I often see hugin "skipping" an image or two and leaving a blank space.

Example at https://photos.app.goo.gl/sEqkSeJbqYSGBGTb8

Rendering at lower resolution fixes the problem.

At full resolution, by trial and error I re-arrange the order of the images and keep trying until I get lucky with a version without blanks. Sometimes a single re-arrange works. Sometimes a re-arrange just causes a blank somewhere else. 

This isn't a new problem. I've been running into it for many years. Anyone have a better suggestion of how to deal with it?

Windows platform. Latest release. Plenty of RAM and CPU.

   Hi Rich,

   Some ideas that can help:

   1 - use enblend with the option --primary-seam-generator=nearest-feature-transform, this maybe is the best solution in general,

   2 - see if you can modify the amount of superposition between images (use masks to "cut" and shape excess superposition)

   3 - maybe enblend with --pre-assemble (can be used with solution 1) can help too.

   Now I rarely face this problem, I hope these ideas help you too!

   bye,

   Luís Henrique

Multiblend should also help.

[Rich MacDonald]

Thanks for the suggestions:

1) No luck on   --primary-seam-generator=nearest-feature-transform. Did not change anything.

2) No luck with or without  --pre-assemble.

3) Always wanted to try multiblend. Never found adequate instructions for running in windows. Tried and failed several times over the last decade.

Probably not much help to anyone, but the only times I've encountered
blacked-out sections were:

1. When I was getting too intricate with inclusion and exclusion masks.
They were particularly problematic when close to each other.

2. When masks on different images overlap.

3. When watching a stitch run, the log would report a picture not being
blended. The blend would go fine, I'd note the stitch log's message
about the photo not being part of the set, or being a duplicate, and
remove the seeming duplicate. Then I would sometimes get a blacked out
section. It makes me think sometimes enblend isn't entirely correct when
it reports *not* blending an image.

This is all with enblend. I've never tried multiblend or felt any need
to use it.

I use Linux, so can't help if it's Windows-specific.
