No I don't adjust any colors before stacking, I put the original CR2's into DSS and AFTER stacking I adjust colors.
An idea might indeed be to process the fresh 'autosave.tiff' with PS or DT. Indeed it is TIFF.

Take a picture of a white wall from close distance but equally lit with the same aperture as the sky shots and focus to infinity and AF off to prevent any details. Only for showing vignetting.
Sometimes I put a white T-shirt over the lens.
Should I convert the flats to monochrome (i.e. B&W photos) ?
