 If you are trying to run Enblend 3.0 on Windows and are finding that the program returns immediately with no output, you may be attempting to run a version compiled with SSE instructions on a non-SSE-capable CPU (e.g like older AMD CPUs). You can obtain an non-SSE binary for Enblend from Sourceforge.[http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=123407]

-If you are working with multi-row panoramics, (for example three rows of eight pictures each), you can greatly speed up the processing by manually feeding the first row of images (with the -a parameter which assembles non-adjacent images first), then the second row of images, and finally the third row of images. Next, feed these three assembled rows into Enblend again using the -a parameter and you will have a fully blended pano in a fraction of the time.
