Stitch not respecting crop. Solution?
I'm stitching together a large wall mural shot inside a building. Stitch worked well with the mural, matching up the lines of the mural extremely well, however in doing that it meant that the ceiling area, industrial ductwork that need to be shown as part of the in-situ nature of the job, did not line up correctly.
My solution was to make clone variants of the images, crop to the ceiling region that didn't stitch correctly, then run a new stitch for the ceiling, then composite in Photoshop. Problem is that C1 is not recognizing the crop and is stitching using the whole uncropped images.
Solutions?
I can't show the images as they are under an NDA.

C1 is sticking together raw files, so you might expect it to be uncropped, but can't you crop it after it's stitched?

It's stitching the main (bottom and middle) parts of the image together great, but the top part is not coming together correctly. So what I wanted to do was crop to just that top part and let the software concentrate on stitching together that top section, that I would then composite on to the other section. Panoramic stitching only works with RAW files and it looks like you can't crop the RAW files. This is an interior architectural shoot, so all straight lines, very tricky both to shoot and to retouch, especially when you are forced to use stitching becuase of walls in front of the 40' wide space you're photographing.

Same problem although with a small twist. My left-side image (looking at the scene) was good except at the right edge. The right-side image was fine. I wanted the right one to be the "master" in the center but C1 kept using the left one. I ended up exporting to TIFF and using Photoshop to do the stitch. Then import the stitched image back into C1 for final cropping.
Assumes you have PS, of course.
