Hello Ronald.
I am the owner of photopla.net and publish a Windows package of enfuse.
May I ask you *not* to post deep links? the version you link to is old, and there is a lot of manual work involved in setting it up.
The latest version can be always found on the download page, and this is where I kindly as you to direct people in the future:
<panospace.wordpress.com/downloads/#devel/>
If you download enblend/enfuse from there, there is no need to unpack, fiddle, or do whatever else. Just a standard Windows installer that does it all for you.
Also, if you are already on that site, please consider Hugin. We are close to having a release, and we have a group of very motivated students adding new features, sponsored by Google and by Nodal Ninja.
For details, keep checking out that blog.
Happy stitching
Yuv

Hi Nick,
it takes a lot to motivate me to post in a forum. congratulations, you made it!
There are two things here that need to be discussed separately: physical photo shooting and software stitching.
In terms of hardware, my request is to tilt the camera *sideway* so that the diagonal of the camera is aligned vertically.
I do tilt my Sigma 8mm by about 2° - the cropped sensor of the Canon 350D is smaller than the one of the Nikons or other Canons where 5° works too. You are right, there is no "one-size-fits-all" solution for this kind of tilting.
In terms of stitching, the software is a moving target.
Currently enblend has a bug at the zenith (well, programmers will call it a new feature request, but for users it is a bug).
Apparently also Adobe's next Photoshop version still has that bug - check their presentation at <admin.connectpro.acrobat.com/_a791863308/p4065271...; after minute 16.
We were hoping to have a Google-financed student to work on that bug this summer, but we did not find an appropriate candidate.
The problems with the Zenith (and Nadir) that Hans mentions are real now, but once the software works as expected, they won't be any problem.
Even with the current software, I shoot a single row with my Canon 350D/Sigma 8mm tilted up 2° and sideways for the diagonal alignement and most stitches are acceptable.
I hope this helps. Thanks again for the sponsoring of the pano heads to hugin's Google Summer of Code team.
