 However, often the first photo, or even none of the photos, in the project has the wanted white balance.  You can use the '''Grey Picker''' button to adjust the white balance of the whole panorama by using any 'neutral' colour object in the scene as a sample.  Just push the button and then click on the object in the preview canvas.

-The ''normal'' blend mode will draw the images as a stack. The ''difference'' blend mode will do the same, except the image under the mouse pointer will be subtracted from the rest of the stack. Use this to determine if the alignment went well: where you can see edges in the subtracted image, these edges are misaligned. Be warned that this isn't fully accurate, the other preview has a better difference mode.

 * Blending by a tool such as [[enblend]] isn't shown.
 * The brightness display of [[HDR]] and 16bit images is controlled by settings in the hugin Preferences, these settings are not used when stitching. The colouring of these images will also be inaccurate when using exposure or white balance correction. For HDR panoramas, the [[Hugin Preview window]] is recommended instead.
 * Photometric correction only includes white balance and exposure, unless full photometric correction is enabled with the the Photometrics button.
 * The remappings are approximate, the output by a tool such as [[nona]] is more accurate. If this concerns you more than speed, use the [[Hugin Preview window]] instead.
