Me, have an ego? I'm not the one one who declared with bold text in a response, "I Win". You win I said it. You're ego want let you even win gracefully. Where can I see some of this published work?

Yes it is. It's more efficient. It requires less work and time. It produces no less a quality result and more likely a better quality result because I begin PP the entire image closer to the raw data rather than trying to process the image in pieces. It is more non-destructive and re-editable and so the workflow is better.


Alright, alright. I concede. You win like you wanted to. I bow down to the superior knowledge of some nobody on the internet named Ysarex. There's only one way, the Ysarex way. Did you just have an orgasm in your excitement? Have you published any books or online courses so I can learn from the master? I guess I had you pegged in my first post.

Hitler got a lot of bad press, as did Stalin, and Putin. Do you see a pattern emerging?


I see a pattern emerging in your posts that you're not too bright and an emotional child.

You're not paying attention pilgrim. The late night shows have been biting Biden on the bum from day one.


Sure, pilgrim, sure. I'm sure you could find a joke interspersed here and there among all the shows, but get back to me when you can find some that were whole monologue harangues from every single host like Trump endured. Any joke about Biden would have been something harmless about him falling up stairs or something. Don't try to rewrite history, pilgrim.

And so you then post process the stitched DNG as a single image. And that's the best way to do it.


Fine. As I said, that's your opinion. If it works for you great. I and many others find my way more successful. There are usually many ways to accomplish the same thing in PP. I'm sure there are many adherents to your philosophy. Your way is no more the "right" way than mine is.

It's not. First rule in shooting panos is to set the same exposure for all frames. If the sun is to the left and the left side is brighter and you want to retain highlight detail overall then set that exposure and use it for all frames. Save raw files and then stitch first and process second.

That's not just my opinion. That's the best way to do it.


Still the same problem. Then the frames on the right might be darker than I want them. Your method works fine if the exposures are pretty even across the frame. And it is just your opinion.

What subtle differences? Can you be specific and provide an example?

Because you're wrong about that. Let's do a walk through and compare.

Here's a simple 3 frame pano. First image below I used your method and created 3 16 bit TIFF files from the three raw files. Then I used PS to stitch the 3 TIFF files together and finished processing the image (just comparing methods so I'm not trying to closely match results). When finished in PS I saved my work as a PSD file. Size of that PSD file: 942 mb.

The 2nd and 3rd images were created in C1 where the three raw files were stitched first to an output DNG file and then that DNG was processed. Size of that DNG file: 322 mb. 1/3 the size of the Photoshop PSD file. I'm way ahead on storage.

The 3rd image is an example of something you can't do using your method. Your limiting your processing capability by those original raw file conversions and I'm not. The pano is a few years old. Assume I've revisited it and decided that my original decision to process to a faithful/natural color rendition wasn't the best choice. How about a different camera input profile -- I can do that with the DNG and you can't do that with the PSD. Even if you loaded your TIFFs into LR where you could generate a DNG and process parametrically you're still cutting off access to changing the input profiles because you baked them in when you processed the raw files. I didn't. I win again. My processing is more non-destructive and re-editable than yours.

What subtle differences are going to be in those raw files if they were all shot at the same exposure?

"I win again." Wow, you even bolded it to make your point. I didn't realize we were engaged in some macho online pissing contest. I gave my opinion and that's what it is. Some agree, some don't. If your process works for you great. Have a nice life but take some blood pressure pills so you don't stroke out.
Since you only want to win, I'm certainly not going back through all my digital files to show you.
But in addition to what Rongnongo told you here's another one.
If I shoot a pano where the sun is off to the left, as I pan left, the sky is going to get brighter and brighter. Maybe I don't want it that bright and want it more in line with the rest of the exposures. It's easier to adjust some of those frames before they're stitched in whatever PPP you use. Now, that's just my opinion. Knock yourself out trying to spike the football.

When raw was new it seemed everyone said to shoot raw and jpeg, which I did. I was looking over my storage yesterday and was reminded just how much space this is taking up! I use subscription Lightroom and Photoshop, if that matters to your response. I do not recall ever going back to the jpeg shots for any reason. Is there some reason I should NOT just go and delete them? It would be easy enough to do. In January I went to a SONY mirrorless and these files are even larger than before, so I am storage conscious right now. My gut instinct is to just delete the jpegs but I don’t want to cause any problems. I’d love to hear your thoughts on this.

Also…for the record, how many others are shooting raw and jpeg, or did I miss the memo saying this was not really necessary. (The camera “how-to experts” seem to suggest setting it up this way.).

I've always shot just raw. My needs never needed anything else. Wow, that's a jumbled sentence. A lot of people need jpegs for their work , but I don't so never shot them. The raw files can always be converted to jpegs if need be. If yours are just plain jpegs with no in camera effects applied to them I would just delete them.

I have just got my new Nikon Z9 and shooting 20 frames per second it would be nice to review which one or two photos came out 100% clear and delete the rest. then keep going on your shoot. Then when you get home you only have to download the good images to work on.
What is everyone's thought and have they heard from a Nikon tech that's a bad idea to delete photos in-camera?

I personally, never, ever delete anything in camera, except for one circumstance. Namely if I've completely blown the exposure and have a black or white frame. Everything else stays to be downloaded to computer. Even if I've blown focus or the camera moves and blurs the picture, I might actually like the effect, so I don't delete them. I've never heard that it corrupts the card.

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?


I'm with Rongnongo on this one. You process one, sync them and then stitch. Even when you're shooting manual you can still have subtle differences that are not noticeable until you stitch them.
