Thomas implemented this feature in Hugin before "ptgui" even thought of
masks.

Arrange them in the Images Tab so that the 135mm ones are first.  The order in 
the Images Tab already allows the assignment of "image priorities" and the 
positive and negative masks in the Mask Tab give all the necessary finer 
grained controls.

Title:
  Allow assignment of "image priorities"

Status in Enblend:
  Triaged
Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI:

Bug description:
  Dear Hugin Developers,

I would love to see a feature in Hugin that allows to prioritize the usage of certain images when stitching a panorama over others.

Rationale: When I use hugin to stitch panoramas of landscapes that have significant details/features only in part of the whole panorama (like e.g. the image of desert with a tower visible, that has interesting ornaments) I use different focal lengths - short ones for the parts where little detail is to see, and zoomed images of the parts where lots of details are to see. I guess this is a common approach used by many users.

The problem is that while Hugin even detects and reports automatically there is "redundant coverage" of certain image areas, there seems to be no way to tell Hugin "Yes, I know, please prefer the long-focal-length pictures whereever available".

I can try to workaround by using the "crop" feature to crop all the wide angle pictures such that they do not overlap the zoomed in ones anymore, but that is an extremely tedious task especially if there are lots of pictures to stitch and when the difference in focal lengths is big.

I hope I haven't missed to spot an already existing feature like that, but searching for it didn't reveal any.

Regards,

Peter Niemayer
