The anchor image retains the Ev exposure value during optimisation. A good 
anchor image has few 'blown-out' overexposed areas.

What you are noticing is that Hugin also has a project-wide Ev setting, which 
the assistant automatically sets to the average of all the photos in the 
project, so your anchor image may look different in the output because this 
average looks at all photos together.

You can change this global Ev in the panorama tab of the fast preview: set it 
to the same value as the anchor, and the anchor will have no exposure 
adjustment; there is also a reset to average button; and + - buttons that raise 
lower the global Ev by ⅓ of a stop to brighten/darken your final panorama.
