If something is added or removed from the image then it is altered. If multiple images are used to make one image then it can go either way depending if all the objects were there in the first place. When I make my panoramic images by stitching many images I am recreating what is already there over a short period of time. However if I add a fake sky then I have overstepped what is real. Generally standard adjustments to exposure and minor color tweaks are acceptable. But changing from one color to another is not. This is a 17 image 35,000 pixel composite panorama taken in Augusta Maine over a period of 15 seconds. Is it time altered in showing the final photograph(s) or is it real because it is 35K wide when the a1 can only deliver 8750 in one single shot?

I almost always shoot in 8K 4:2:2 HLG From that I can extract what many projects need. I also can produce custom stock footage with retiming, down conversion reframing and or tilt and pan. However many stock footage agencies still only want HD or UHD so I would provide that as a rule currently. Mark
