Hello Developers, Fans and Users of Affinity Suites.
I love Affinity and always want to suggest ideas to help improve the software. Hopefully, the programmer developers can incorporate it.
I noticed that Affinity Photo does an excellent job when it comes to Panorama stitching, especially radial pictures based on the operator's one pivot point. The algorithm, to me, does a flawless job. I have had zero issues at all for those types. Bravo!!
However, due to sheer curiosity and love for not only the software, but also photography with creativity, I decided to test whether Affinity Photo can stitch a linear set of photos together. I tried it, but the result came out incorrect. I tried it multiple times, even down to the point of accuracy. I measured out a straight line to keep my axis the same and I used my tripod to go along the line taking pictures. I did so.
Next, I took my collection of linear shot photos and imported them into Affinity Photo. I used the Panorama Stitching tool. The results, for some reason, came out not so appealing. I don't know what the issue is. Either one of the following: (1) Operator error, or (2) Affinity Photo's Algorithm doesn't support linear Panoramas.
If anyone knows about the Panorama's algorithm support, please let me know. As much as I have been practicing and experimenting, the Panorama only seems to support radial photos, not linear. If it does support it and it is due to the operator's error, please let me know how I can adjust my ways of taking those photos. Thank you so much and continue doing, developing and making an ingenious software.
Very Respectfully,
