The possibility to export files in the psd format is the principle new feature of version 4.0 of Stitcher.
Furthermore, you are now also able to retouch your panoramas. This was not possible previously.
This means that each of the computed panoramas can be exported
with each image being a separate layer for maximum editing control:
geometric and chromatic corrections can be applied individually
to each element, which makes up your image montage, thanks to
the adjunction of adjustment layers associated with the images
to correct.
A documented example is shown below

I.
Typical Case: difficult image matching due to a problematic shoot.
|
|
 |
During this shoot, composed of
three rows of 8 images, the barge located within the camera’s
range (and which takes up a large area within the panorama)
has actually moved as a result of the strong current and
wind.
|
|
|
|
You can see in the two images how the barge has changed position in the short time it has taken for the camera to move.
It’s important not to confuse this phenomenon with a parallax defect!
