I don't understand why hard links would result in the effect you describe if you are choosing to index on an exposure level (in the stack) that permits good CP detection.
IS APG mis-detecting your 14mm rectilinear lens as a fisheye?
Does APG have the same problems if you use single *(rather than bracketed) exposures?
I don't understand why you cannot use an appropriate XML data file, at least with single exposures or pre-processed bracketed exposures)

I have used Pappy Wizard XML and Roundashout XML.. No luck. I will send my XML tomorrow..
I am sure since I cannot use Hard-links I am getting ghosting of images when using Stacks.. You can see that at the flowers in front of this test.. http://www.destinyvirtualtours.com/PTPV ... ackes.html
You can also see ghosting on the price tab below the flowers too.. Lots of other areas like the Black Horse. If I could use Hard-links I am sure that would be fixed.. Using pre-fused images the stitching using APG has small issues... Using stacks, there are no stitching issues as far as I can see....
When you Zoom in on my pano, you can see why I love to use my 14-24.. No way I can do this using a 10.5 fisheye. Same number of images.. So same time to capture... but much better quality..

The shooting pattern seems less than ideal because it captures so much of the pano head in the lower row and there's a rather small over lap between the rows.
Destiny wrote:You are getting a much better result than I am getting.. All I get is a blob of nothing when using Hard Links.. Terrible in fact.. But at least you have a result.. I am open to trying a different shooting pattern.. I tried other options but came back to the default my VR Drive comes up with..

I have come to realise that the setting used in Photomatix effects the stitching results in APG. That is why I tend to use EnfusGUI since that provides the best results. When I stated many times that APG does not seem to like my Photomatix images, this is the issue I feel... You can test that for yourself.. Use different settings with the same images and I am sure your results will be different..

If you like i can try your images processing them in Photomatix and stitch them in APG.

As said before: i so far used Photomatix with four cameras: a Canon 20D, a Canon 5D2, a Nikon D800, and a Hasselblad H4D/40.
I NEVER had any issue stitching one of the Photomatix-tonemapped image file-sets. I have some other photographers here around me doing the same by using a variety of different cameras shooting bracketed and using Photomatix-tonemapped images for stitching in APG or PTGui.
Because we talked about your issue different times i several times asked my friends and collegues for their experiences.
No one - NO ONE - did ever exprience ANY kind of incompatibility in terms of Photomatix and APG.
So again - and i´m really sorry to repeat that - i think the issue is neither on Photomatix´s nor
on APG´s side . .(betw.: no one so far had any idea what technical reason the issue might be basing on . . )
