I tried the pano feature first thing.
The same scene that I submitted for this month’s PUG. That one was stitched in
Photoshop 11.
Three 645Z dng files, each about 66MB. Selected the three, searched and finally
found the merge->pano button, told it to do its thing. A few seconds later I
had a 180MB pano. Minor cropping, and done! As Charles says, quick, simple, and
effective.

Nice job.
Ctrl-M ("Merge") and poof it's done!
WOW that's a nice shot!
I dug back into LR for some older stuff, and came across this June 6, 2007
6-panel image taken from the parking ramp at the Mall of America, looking North
towards Minneapolis:

Also very nice.
The camera used was a Fuji F30.
I love how the generated image is a DNG so you (if you generate from RAW) still
have leeway to process the image.
I am very happy with how it works. LR6 has seriously torpedoed my
productivity on things that I should have been working on since
yesterday evening.
I initially tried stitching panos then doing an HDR merge, but that
didn't work. Next I'll HDR merge each frame of some HDR panos, then try
the pano merge of them. Since I'm getting unprocessed "raw" files, this
should work, where it would not have with jpeg based hdrs.
I did a quick search on my lightroom catalog for photos shot with hdr or
panoramas in mind and have been doing some tests:

At some point, I'll go through and put copies processed without hdr into
the collection for direct comparison. I will say that with the K-5s
dynamic range, the lack of HDR hasn't been quite as big of a handicap as
it might have been, but this does make the processing a lot easier.
It would be nice if I could just point lightroom at a set of photos and
have it automatically recognize the bracketed exposures and merge those.
I did some experimentation on photos where I'd bracket exposure of a new
moon, but there was too much shift of the image for the auto align to
work properly.
