Stitching and editing a panorama-photo (source: 7 NEF-files)

Hey there,

I have a series of seven photos from my NIKON D300s that show a mountain-panorama. I attached a quick and dirty panorama made with a simple tool so you know what to expect. The lighting conditions were tricky. It was a hazy, but sunny day. Especially the right part is very bright, I think a lot of detail in the clouds and the sun-rays is lost in overexposure, but should be obtainable via the RAW-data. I do not have enough skill and understanding of lightroom and co, so I post this here.

My needs:

Editting (color grading, pulling out some detail from the RAW-files, touching up sharpness) and stitching of the panorama picture (with retouched stitching borders when they occur) while retaining as much detail as possible.

Output-file in RGB and CMYK-colorspace.

If you have any additional questions, please feel free to ask me.
