Star ratings - HDR and Panoramas

[dkabat]

Could use a suggestion on above topic - I have star rated my Tifs resulting from HDR and Panoramas but have not included the Raws with that rating.  It seems to me the Raws should have no rating since on their own they are nothing.  I can easily identify which Raws make up the Tifs if changes or warranted.

Any comments?

I do the same - on their own they often look like mistakes! But they are important, which is why I also mark them green to give me a visual warning.

Thank you John - its always helpful to have another opinion when you have a questions, especially someone who knows what they are doing.

Thanks again

Dan,
Make sure there is some kind of tag that indicates that they are pano or HDR elements. You'd hate to toss out some of those files, and only find out when you went to make a stitch...

That's my green label. The way I sometimes describe it is that you don't want a great big gap nice in that shining row of teeth, do you?

A low res stictch or HDR stacked on top, or at the front is also good. As suggested in the DAM Bk 2.
