All the answers to this post assumed the raw processing is done before the 
stitching (which would work on TIFF/JPG… files). I totally agree on the 
objections.

However, does it make sense to* combine raw files into a raw output*, that 
can further be processed in rawtherapy ?

Distortions, stitching, etc could presumably be done on raw data arrays in 
an equal manner as they would be done on pixels. Not ? In practice, there 
could be a prior-conversion into jpeg with fixed (low-relevant) processing 
parameters, just to get the stitching parameters (PTO) and 
previsualisation, but the stitcher would work on RAW files. Would absolute 
data values for one shot not have the same reference as for a different 
shot, and consequently merging files has no sense ? I understood that 
precisely RAW format leave the normalizing to the processor, recording 
brute sensor data, so merging RAW files seems to have sense to me.

My question is just theoretic and blunt curiosity. I'm not spending, nor 
asking anyone to spend time on this. It seems like a huge work to rewrite a 
stitcher, especially ending up writing one for as many different raw 
formats as exist (re-using rawtherapy file-opening library, presumably). 
Does it make sense at all ?

(Brings me to the question to start with : *why do people want RAW support 
in Hugin* ? because they find the workflow a pain ? or for technical and 
image quality reasons ?)

Marcel.
