In the end I also agree about the RAW input, it's best left to
other software.
There would only be an advantage with being able to open RAW files
if Hugin also outputted a RAW file (e.g. DNG). With this Hugin
wouldn't need any of the GUI complication of a RAW converter, and
users could do all the photo 'developing' after stitching instead of
before.
An alternative workflow that was suggested by one of the rawstudio
developers would be to convert the RAW shots to 16bit Prophoto RGB
TIFF using rawstudio (without any adjustments), stitch with Hugin to
16bit TIFF, and then load the result into rawstudio to make
adjustments and finish it off - I'm not sure how near we are to
being able to do this.
Why would PSB (a quick google detour hinted it's PhotoShop) be
desired? Is a layered TIFF not something you can import into
PhotoShop?
Do you have any idea if there are (free/libre) libraries that can
write according to Adobes Specifications?

This is an interesting development, previously Adobe only let you
see the PSD/PSB spec if you faxed them promising never to reveal any
details (i.e. you were not allowed to use it in Open Source
software).
Someone needs to start a free 'libpsb' before we can use it in
Hugin, but I guess this itself could be a SoC project.
