Even out lighting differences between adjacent flight lines so shadows don't read as terrain features: match lighting across layers using curve adjustments and local dodging/burning where seams occur, then check at 100% for consistency.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Prevent misinterpretation by the photogrammetry lead by normalizing midtones to a reference flight line, use feathered masks across seams rather than global curves, document adjustment values per line, and output a seam-detection comparison for QA review.
