I think in your situation you don't want exposure fusion. Try this: - use an include mask on the EV 14 image covering the overexposed area plus some space around it - do an LDR photometric optimization of your whole image set - stitch as ordinary pano (with exposure correction, LDR) This has the effect of forcing out the overexposed bit from the result, but the photometric optimization will have corrected the EV14 image to blend well with the other images. The 'space around' is to give the blender room to manouvre and produce an invisible transition. You could use an exclude mask on the overexposed image instead, but this may get you unwanted (underexposed) parts from the EV14 image into the stitch. You may have to shift the output EV closer to the EV14 image to get a good result; rather stitch too dark and pull up the dark areas later with the gradation curve when you do the retouching or do a 'false exposure fusion' from a brighter and a darker stitch. Consider working in 16bit TIFF.
