You are feeding PTGui with differently exposed images. In order to
create a smooth blend, PTGui will have to adjust the brightness of the
images. So one edge of one image will be darkened, and the overlapping
edge of the other image will be brightened. The latter will cause some
clipping, unless you darken the entire panorama a bit (see Post Processing).
Switching the panorama editor to Unblended mode can be helpful, this
allows you to see what is going on. This will also show why Exposure
Compensation exists.
At least that's what I think is going on. If this is not the case,
please make your project file and source images available so I can
reproduce what you are doing.
