Colour banding on output

Asked by Michael Z Freeman

Hi,

Using "2018.0.0.5abfb4de7961" I get severe colour banding in my output ... see - http://files.michaelzfreeman.org/WATCH_DOGS%C2%AE%2022018-2-8-17-3-24%20-%20WATCH_DOGS%C2%AE%2022018-2-8-17-6-41.png

The source images do not have colour banding. I have tried adjusting various settings but to no effect. Is there a way of fixing this ?

Cheers, and thanks for Hugin !

Because of the low key character of the images Hugins has problems to determine the camera response curve. This is gone haywire and is causing the banding.
To solve this reset the camera response curve to standard parameters: In the panorama editor open the context menu on the images list (right mouse button) and select Reset>Reset user defined..., in the dialog select only "Camera response" (deselect all other items) and press ok. When you stitch now the banding should be gone.
