Optimizer and Exposure tabs missing in 2013.0.0

[Michael Hölzen]

I'm on Windows XP SP3.
In hugin 2013.0.0 the tabs for Optimizer and Exposure are not shown in the GUI.
Additionally they are greyed out in the View menu.
Luckily i still have the installer for 2012.0.0...
I've googled for "greyed out" "optimiser" and "exposure" and at least found one post in a digital photography forum where this problem is mentioned too. So i'm not the only one...

They are *not* missing. They are only shown if needed - when the optimizer/photometric optimizer setting on the images tag is set to "user defined".

Thanks for clearing that up! Didn't know and haven't found any hint to this behaviour. Only googling has led me to some places where others were complaining about the same issue.
Apologies for reporting this as a bug.

How do I follow this tutorial http://hugin.sourceforge.net/tutorials/Mosaic-mode/en.shtml if there is no Optimizer tab??

Endolith,

this is a very old bug and you should at least mention your platform, OS version, hugin version when you ask for help. The mailing list usually is a good place to ask questions like this.

The Optimiser tab is only available when you switch it on here:
"Photos" tab (main window, not the fast preview)
-> Optimise -> Geometric:
choose "Custom parameters" in the drop down list.

Otherwise hugin assumes you want to optimise using one of the presets, so no Optimiser tab is necessary.
