Fellow eyes in the skies – When I export from DJI app the quality is p!s poor, 1.4mb. Is there method for increasing quality? I have an SD inserted however it just creates sub folders and dumps the files there leaving stitching to us. I have tried Microsoft Image Composite Editor and it does have a higher quality per image but the stiching isn’t as cohesive etc. Would love to know how to use this accurately. Truly disappointing that DJI leaves so much DYI. Thanks in advance for any tips! Also tried the DJI Media Maker and only get “failed” for each batch.

When you put .dng raw pictures into ICE, it takes the tiny jpeg thumbnails embedded in the raw file (these thumbnails are there for preview purposes only) and merges those into a pano; hence the disappointing result. Take your raws into LR, PS, or equivalent and develop them first (do this as a batch – meaning apply same edits across all of them) and then export them in JPEG format. Take your JPEGs into ICE – problem solved.

I know this thread is 3 years old, but for anyone checking in 2020….
Export your DNG as TIFF’s from Lightroom. Then stitch your pano using those TIFF’s. Export as a TIFF from ICE then you’ve got a full size, Raw Photo. I just exported one using the DNG’s and it came out to 5.83 MB – Using the method above I get a true 71 Megapixel image thats 10188×6992.

I didn’t try the above processes for the highest resolution.
Here was my recent sample on plain JPEG exported to Google StreetView which is way better than the puny facebook >> https://goo.gl/maps/TG1HkXQPP8GJZ8hj7
