| I'm not sure I understand what you're doing–Is this workflow you are using:...
That's what you suggested above and I see how that could work, but it is not what I have been doing.
Here's what I do:
- shoot bracketed stacks for each image of the pano with identical settings.
- correct CA on the raws in LR
- send each image stack from LR to "photoshop merge to HDR Pro"
- adjust white point preview, which I guess does nothing in LR
- fix flaws in each HDR image in Photoshop. i.e. flares, ghosts, etc.
- add logo to nadir shot in photoshop.
- In Lightroom adjust picture parameters to optimize the main view image.
- copy and paste to the other images.
- export to 16bit tiffs. (Hugin doesn't seem to accept the HDR 32bit tiffs from Photoshop)
- Do other work on individual images as needed, such as replacing a drab sky with OnOne Perfect Mask.
- stitch the panorama in Hugin.
- careful final adjustments of the EQR in LR and PS as needed.
| If so please explain what you mean by, "I don't know why my identically shot brackets come back with different apparent exposures from HDR Pro."
It's after the merge to HDR Pro and back in Lightroom that I find exposures of the images do not match. Not stitched into a panorama yet.
