Pablo, you're perfectly right... I should have used the canon's pano mode which locks exposure. I abandonned it because
of poor results with photostitch (vignetting) and huge brightness differences across the pano, but locking exp. on the
bightest yaw should be a better choice. I thought that individual exp. settings would optimize each image (which it
does) and that PT would manage that nicely (which it doesn't).
and I'm lazy, wearily pressing 4 more buttons...
and some panos were improvised...
and this mode is limited to 26 views...

no such mode: "M" mode which I constantly use only gives you 2 more auto options...

ok, 70% was definitely not enough
I'm going to improve the script to have a pointer to a higher quality image
and/or install a special pano page
