Once the result is ok the RAW processing parameters need to be saved into a preset. More details on the RAW processing in PhotoFlow can be found in this tutorial. Loading and processing a RAW file is rather easy:Д¬lick the вЂњOpenвЂќ button and choose the appropriate RAW file from your hard disk the image preview area will show at this point a grey and rather dark imageДЄdd a вЂњRAW developerвЂќ layer a configuration dialog will show up which allows to access and modify all the typical RAW processing parameters (white balance, exposure, color conversion, etcвЂ¦ see screenshots below). The best is to adjust the parameters on one reference image, and then batch-process the rest of the images using those settings. In this case it is important to make sure that the RAW processing parameters are exactly the same for all the shots. On the other hand, if you are shooting RAW you will need to process and prepare all the input images for Hugin. If you plan to create the panorama starting from the in-camera Jpeg images, you can safely skip this section.

Bracket if Needed - if you shoot during a sunny day, the brightness might vary significantly across the whole panorama in this case, take three or more bracketed exposures for each view (we will see later how to blend them in the post-processing).Fixed Exposure - take all shots with a fixed exposure (manual or locked) to avoid luminance variations that might not be fully compensated by hugin.Leave Some Room - frame the shots a bit wider than needed, to avoid bad surprises when cropping the stitched panorama.Frame Appropriately - to maximize the angle of view, frame vertically for an horizontal panorama (and vice-versa for a vertical one).Follow A Straight Line - when taking the shots, try to follow as much as possible a straight line (keeping for example the horizon at the same height in your viewfinder) if you have a tripod, use it!.Overlap Shots - make sure that each frame has sufficient overlap with the previous one (something between 1/2 and 1/3 of the total area), so that hugin can find enough control points to align the images and determine the lens correction parameters.

Manual Focus - set the camera to manual focus, so that the focus plane is the same for all shots.Shooting a panorama requires a bit of preparation and planning to make sure that one can get the best out of Hugin when stitching the shots together.

The rest of the post will show how to get thereвЂ¦Д«efore we continue, let me advise you that IвЂ™m not a pro, and that the tips and вЂњrecommendationsвЂќ that IвЂ™ll be giving in this post are mostly derived from trial-and-error and common sense.ДЇeel free to correct/add/suggest anythingвЂ¦ we are all here to learn! Taking the shots In this case I have used the brightest image for the foreground, the darkest one for the sky and clouds, and and exposure-fused one for a seamless transition between the two. The final result of the post-processing is below:ДЇinal result of the panorama editing (click to compare to simple +1EV exposure) The PhotoFlow RAW editor is used to prepare the initial images and to finalize the processing of the assembled panorama. The three exposures are stitched together with the Hugin suite, and then exposure-blended with enfuse.

This panorama was obtained from the combination of six views, each consisting of three bracketed shots at -1EV, 0EV and +1EV exposure. To explain my workflow I will use the image below as an example.

The goal of this tutorial is to show how to create a sort-of-HDR panoramic image using only Free and Open Source tools.
