I have been using photomerge to blend panoramic sets of 9 photos taken with a DJI Mavic Pro and then straightening out the results with the adaptive wide angle filter in photoshop. It does a good job to start, then I adjust the rest by dragging out guides as needed.
Recently, I've been trying to automate some of this workflow and tried using lightroom to stack the images and blend the panoramas instead of doing each individually in photoshop. The problem I've run into though is that the panoramas in lightroom don't look the same as the photomerged panoramas. Then the adaptive wide angle filter does not apply to the DNG files the same as the photomerged files and the dragged guides do not recognize the necessary edges (horizon, roof lines, sides of houses) in the DNG files for me to straighten the panoramas out appropriately.
Is there a way to produce panoramas in lightroom identical to photomerged panoramas? if not, how can I apply the adaptive wide angle filter to merged DNG files to straighten them out appropriately? I take a lot of these and would love to automate as much of it as I can. I've included a link to an example of one angle processed both ways.
