How do I keep low-resolution source images from covering high-resolution images in a Hugin panorama?

I stitched a very large panorama in Hugin using mostly high-resolution images, then added a few low-resolution wide-angle shots to fill missing background areas. The panorama aligns correctly, but in the final blend the low-resolution images are covering most of the high-resolution ones, causing a major loss in detail.
How can I make the low-resolution images stay in the background and let the high-resolution images be used in the foreground where they overlap? The image list order in the project does not seem to match the result. Is there a way to control blend priority or stacking order in Hugin?

In the Mask tab you can select regions of the picture that you don't want Hugin to use in the final panorama. You just have to be careful to not mask out a part of the panorama that only exists in that low-res picture, because then you will get a hole.

Yes. In Hugin, overlapping images are blended according to their order in the project, so you can move the low-resolution images later in the list using the Up/Down controls in the Images tab.
You can also use the Mask tab to exclude parts of the low-resolution images from the final blend, so Hugin only uses them where they are actually needed. Be careful not to mask areas that exist only in those low-res shots, or you’ll create holes.
If Hugin still doesn’t give the result you want, another workaround is to export separate versions and combine them manually: hide the low-res images and export the high-res panorama, then export the low-res contribution separately and merge them afterward, or run enblend manually.
