How can I combine and align overlapping images?

Thank you for your suggestion.  I appreciate it.

The problem with Hugin was that the Enblend part rejected the excessive overlap because the pictures are nearly the same.

I have the hazy memory of hearing about Hugin being used to achieve image overlap in other aplications (denoising by averaging pictures, focus stacking, etc...), so maybe you are just missing a parameter.

The idea isn't to distort the whole layer, but the parts that count. When you do something like this, I assume the color layer is only in "color" mode so some bluriness is acceptable.
