Yesterday we went to the Grand Canyon. It was a beautiful rainy, cloudy foggy day. I'll be posting some pictures soon, but I have two questions.
1. I have some to stitch together. Do I process them in raw to my liking as individuals first? Or stitch them, and them process them together. I've never stitched before.
2. I'm posting one that I like, but a short branch dominates it and detracts from the picture. I have been trying to remove it, but so far do not like my results. I would be happy for people to give it a shot, or give me advice.

In answer to #1. I always stitch first and then edit. How you do it depends on your software. I use Photoshop for the stitching and editing. The articles I have read say to do it that way. If you convert first--use the same conversion settings for all in the Pano.
On the second I did a little different to the edit, I removed the branch in Photoshop, tone mapped in Nik HDR Pro and added some color and raindrops in OnOne Effects. I think all the edits add to the picture and have no favorites. One question is did you use a tripod? Also what were your settings as the tree on the right is out of focus. The composition of the image is great--the trees framing the canyon.
