Post Processing Pano's

The question is: Do you PP one photo of a pano (if so which one), and copy the changes to the other photos in the pano, and then stitch? Or do you stitch the RAW files together, and then PP?

Stitch first.

All images need to match in color balance and lighting BEFORE stitching.
Then you work on the pano as a whole.

Well I may be mistaken but in my opinion PP will do the matching after stitching won't it? I will take a look at the section. Thank you.

I just went through this exercise the weekend of the 4th. Due to the size of the stitched original captures, Adobe Camera RAW (ACR) could not handle the file of that size. So, I judicially picked one of the original captures and pre-processed that one in ACR then applied the adjustments to all of the original captures. I inspected each of the, now pre-adjusted, images to make sure I had what I wanted for a good start. Then, I stitched those. Then brought that into Photoshop (Ps) for final processing.
It was certainly a weekend of exploration, discovery, and planning of new approaches to large panoramic photographs. If you care to see the results of that, https://www.uglyhedgehog.com/t-744222-1.html

Stitch first then process.
Follow good pano procedure and make sure all shots are the same exposure, same f/stop, and same focus distance.

The key in the op's question is "RAW files." Those you stich first and then process the resulting output file.

You should be sitting completely manual, so each photo has the exact same exposure. Then I would stitch first.

I will not argue much. It does not matter what the file format is. All the captures used to stitch must be using the same settings from apertures, speed, ISO and focusing. Anything short will create a mess.
End of my argumentation. Check the link I posted (Bob's example)

The first step has to be consistent initial exposures. Igenerally scan the i tended composite area, set exposure for the brightest section, then expose all.

Shoot in “manual” if you can.

Yes, I did check Bob's post yesterday when it was posted. It was my thinking he did that on each frame because of the large size of the frames.
