For all those editing the photos, it needs to be leveled out

Wow that's sick. A friend of mine actually does some photography and he takes mint pictures. Nothing of that scale, but he does have a pretty sick Nikon! Good work.

That was the first thing I did in my edit, but I didn't post it up

Don't take this the wrong way, but if you are using the files straight from the camera and not doing any PP work in RAW software there really is no point of shooting RAW at all.

Processing these files is non-destructive. If images are exposed correctly all you will need to do is a few levels/ curves adjustments, white balance (possibly) then a boost in colours if needed. To get the most out of your images they should be saved as 16bit TIFFs not JPEGs.

If you do save images as JPEGs then decide to edit them later on, image quality is not going to be as good. Try it for yourselves.

I ALWAYS edit my photos in Photoshop prior to saving them as JPEG's. I simply posted this photo up online unedited so you can see what merging 6 photos together does in terms of detail. I save each RAW file so if I decide to make something with a photo such as printing, I can re-save it as a TIFF.
