How to process DNG drone panorama correctly ?

[Jann Lipka]

regular 43 images ( no HDR - one file per stitched image ) panorama from Mavic 4 PRo - I get the best results regarding 
stitching using DNG files - unfortunately I need to fix those DNGs -
Is the only way to do it 
using post process panel ?  

This panel is very limiting and faaaar away from what I'm used to in LIghtroom etc . 

Is there any suggested workflow - 
Any tutorial on that ? 
I can accept the fast that shadow lifting / other local fixes cannot be achieved 

But postprocess panel is incredibly simplistic ! 
For example - no White balance adjustments ? 
why not to try make it more similar to other image processing _
for example - interactive curve etc ? 
( i'm aware that I cane export teh file as 16 Bit and make more adjustments but ....
Lets say I made a mistake and shot  5000 K scen as Tungsten 3200K - Then what ?

Hi Jann,

PTGui is not a replacement for a dedicated raw converter. But there are
some options:

White balance can be adjusted in the White Balance tab in the panorama
editor
You can enable tone mapping to do shadow/highlight correction
Tone curve can be edited in the Post Processing tab
Noise reduction and CA correction can be done in the Raw Preprocess tab

If this is not sufficient then you can output your panorama as a DNG
file and do further processing in your favorite raw converter.

Kind regards,

Great answer - thanks Joost 
Now I can see Raw preprocessing ( I can see now settings are applied across all files )
And How did I miss that I can output the file as DNG - that is lovely  !

I'm not a big fan of tone mapping panel - but can live with it 
Anyway - all that means improvement of my workflow
