For customers handling post-production on their own, we recommend the following steps for optimal results when editing and stitching your 360° panorama photos.
Post-Processing Steps
Import RAW files into LightroomAdjust white balance across sets of 12 images
Adjust exposure, evening out within brackets and across the full set of images as best possible, to avoid banding
Decrease highlights, increase shadows slightly
Reduce noise
AVOID excessive sharpening, AVOID adjusting Clarity
Export as TIFF or high quality JPEG for blending
Blend exposures using Enfuse or LREnfuse, reducing 12 images into 4 images
High res JPEGs output, or TIFF for best results
Stitch images using PTGui
Check for stitching errors
