Just getting back from a week-long trip to Colorado and the Rocky Mountains, I did about 7-8 panoramas (the biggest one I did was a 27 photo panorama - 9 horizontal and 3 vertical to attempt to capture it). My processing: 1 - basic processing in DT (lens corrections, slight bump in contrast, sharpening, a slight saturation boost per my normal processing, and exposure correction and WB if needed. I shoot in Manual mode, so copy/paste processing across the others after I get the most difficult single image right) 2 - export as JPG at full resolution (I know, loss of quality when using JPG) 3 - process JPGs in Hugin and output as JPG Not ideal using a number of JPGs, but I've not noticed a terrible quality loss. I also used JPGs because by the time I finished processing everything, I had over 16GB of JPGs and CR2 raw files. At least, that's my workflow.
