Makes sense to me.

My default tool is the Advanced interface.

NO NO NO.

As a writer, a musician, and a photographer, I have no problems dealing with
numbers. Stops, field of view, exposure values, shutter speeds, ISO - all
numbers. Photography, in particular, has long been connected with science,
technology, and numbers.
Am I your idea of a humanist? I have B.A. and M.A. degrees in Creative Writing.
I don't think coming from the humanities excludes understanding and use of
numbers.

Useful to me when a stitch fails. And I'm not a developer.

A feature I rarely use, and then only if all else fails.

Maybe an option, but in my experience the reason for "unaligned images" is
usually that no control points were found *when they should have been*. So it
tells me I need to add manual control points.
