My understanding is that stitching will be better with either linear 
data or with a simple defined gamma curve (which this process gives 
me).

I'm currently adjusting the levels by eye after stitching.  Ideally 
I would calibrate the camera and use this curve for generating 8bit 
images as a final step - Still haven't compiled lprof, so I'm not 
there yet.
