This fix doesn't work for me. The checkbox starts selected, but the
photometric display isn't enabled until I deselect then reselect it.

Title:
  Photometrics in the Fast Preview windows should be enabled by default

Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The Fast Preview window has a Photometrics checkbox that preprocesses
  the photos before displaying them with OpenGL, the result is much
  higher quality but is slower so it is disabled by default.

  With the checkbox disabled Hugin simply scales the brightness of input
  photos, which is sometimes very ugly because it doesn't account for
  the camera response curve. I suspect that most users never discover
  this checkbox and don't realise how good the photometric alignment
  really is.

  Now that we have incremental loading of photos, the speed of the
  photometric adjustment isn't such an issue. So this checkbox could be
  enabled by default, it is possible to uncheck it and Hugin will
  interrupt drawing the preview and start again immediately.
