A couple of months ago I upgraded my trusty K3 for a new K1ii and also had to upgrade to LRCC to work with the K1 files. Following some research into PS on this forum, I decided it was time to attempt a PS photo. I also noticed that LRCC could create pano shots, something else that I had never previously attempted, so I decided to make my first PS photo a PS-pano. What could possibly go wrong?? I chose to do a early morning cityscape of Melbourne on a cold (5degC/40deF - ok cold by my standards) but very still morning. The pano was 6 landscape shots, all pixel shift, using the DA*300F4. On advice from this thread, I downloaded Raw Therapee and imported the files and then exported them as tiffs. I then imported these into LRCC and created the pano. I also imported the ~150mb .dng files directly into LRCC and created a pano. The resulting direct import pano was a bit sharper than that created via RT (is RT only recommended when there is some motion in the shot?). Either way the results impressed me with amazing resolution only reduced by the heat haze rising from the city on a cold morning. Very happy with the technology from Pentax and Adobe.
