this has never happened before. i'm using the autostitch program to make a pano. when i lower the exposure in LR the image becomes pixelated and blocky. any reason why? maybe because the original is a jpg?

Yup, what you have there is a perfect example of jpeg compression artifacts. Two options are - do most of the LR stuff on the original images, before stitching. Or, if Photostitch has the option, increase the quality of the jpeg it produces to the maximum value. Or both!

The other option is to export the pano as a tiff file. That will give you more leeway in making LR adjustments.
