Hi folks,
Of course I should give credit to where credit is due. In this case, the workflow I have explained above has largely been based on the know-how and experience of Bart van der Wolf who has selflessly helped me understand and apply these techniques properly in the past few years. As far as I am concerned, he is the man! Thanks a lot Bart.
Cheers,

Yes indeed, the question of Asher has thus been answered. Thanks for the info re. the Autpano introducing the lens shifting compensation BTW. I am curious how it will work.The basic point that triggered Asher's question is also answered: vertical lens shifting alone doesn't change the fore/aft position of the entrance pupil, but it must be compensated for in the stitcher (otherwise it will find a sub-optimal set of stitching parameters).
Currently there are a few stitchers that allow to address the additional degrees of freedom added by lens shifts (e.g. PTAssembler and PTGUI). It also allows to compensate for slight decentering of regular lenses, thus improving the overall quality of stitching. The next version of Autopano will also introduce that capability, at last. We'll have to see how well that works.
Cheers,
