    Best way to stitch a panoramic from RAW files.

    Thank you for your reply. This helps. I ve been testing lately and with a little tweaking I am starting to get good results. These example files are 8.000 pixels wide / 300 dpi. In other words; They are big enough to be delivered to an advertising agency for a "real" job ... I shoot most of...

    Best way to stitch a panoramic from RAW files.

    Not entirely true; When you shoot RAW you have access to sharpening and noise algorithms in a program like Lightroom that are way more powerful than those found in your camera. Here are two shots which are both stitches of 9 images with a resolution of around 8000 pixels shot with Mavic 2 Pro.

    Best way to stitch a panoramic from RAW files.

    Best way to stitch a panoramic from RAW files.

    All adjustments can ( and should ) be done on RAW files. The difference is, that the results are always better, since there is more substance/bit depth to start out with. JPG is a compressed format. Hope it helps.

    Best way to stitch a panoramic from RAW files.

    Thank you people for your reply. Interesting to read about the Hasselblad branding. I was not aware of it - with the same breath I must admit I could not care less about the name that is printed on the device... Only thing that matters is the image quality. ( I have been shooting my Hasselblad...

    Best way to stitch a panoramic from RAW files.

    To get the best possible professional result, when creating a stitch out of the Mavic 2 Pro Hasselblad camera. Mavic 2 Pro creates a jpg automatically, but I would like to make the best use of the Hasselblad camera by using the RAW files. I usually shoot with the mode, where the final stitch is...

    Mavic 2 Pro camera does not take a pic every time I press to release the shutter.

    Volume is up and that is the very reason I hear shutter not being released when I press the trigger... And yes I am aware of the auto focus functioning when half pressing the shutter release... ; )

    Mavic 2 Pro camera does not take a pic every time I press to release the shutter.

    Hello guys. I am a professional photographer with 25+ years of experience. I am fully aware of the auto focus function and half pressing the shutter release. This has nothing to do with that... ; )
