  1. When I click 'Stitch Panorama' in the Panorama dialog, there is often a wait of ~1 minute per panorama for the stitching to complete (working with large TIFF files). A progress bar would be helpful here so that the user knows the program is making progress. There is sometimes a spinning progress wheel in the centre of the panorama dialog when stitching panoramas, but it doesn't always appear — this may be a bug.
  2. Hi, As the heading suggests, when editing panorama in iPad, there does not seem to be an 'inpaint missing area' tool. In the examples shown, their is a magnifying glass ? icon above the panorama window. Is this only available in the desktop version. is their any way to inpaint the missing areas in the iPad version? If not, is this feature likely to be included at any later date?
  3. Hello, I get strange artefacts on intersections of panoramas which I can't understand, since there are none on originals. Is there any way of avoiding this please? File too big to upload but it consists of regular 'scalloping' of light and dark intersections Michael
  4. Hello, First of all I have to say thank you for doing an alternative to photoshop (and illustrator) it is more than welcome! I am doing some 14k hdri panorama editing at the moment and found some things which unfortunately work not as well as in photoshop yet. Maybe there is a way to fix them!? The process: To get rid of the tripod in the picture it is necessary to do some clone stamping. So what you do is flipping the image vertically and then use the rectangular to polar filter to unstretch the floor. after clone stamping you use the polar to rectangular filter and flip the image vertically another time. The Problems: - after using the polar to rectangular filter the top of the image does a weird stretching (photoshop doesn't do that) what I do to avoid this is just making a mask and only paint in the edited (clone stamped) parts. Unfortunately the second problem is bigger: - after using the polar to rectangular filter the image is unsharp and has a weird jpeg like artifact pattern. First Problem (Stretching in the top of the image) Second Problem (Unsharp Artifacts) It looks similar to the artifacts in the following post: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/16741-rectangular-to-polar-good-results/ Thanks!
  5. Hello! I am not sure if I am posting in the right forum, so forgive me if I am. I need assistance in stitching photos together into one. I read all the other posts on the topic, but here's what I am aiming at. I have three pictures that I want to place side-by-side; it's three photos of an action, so they look similar but have subtle differences. When I try to use the panorama feature, all three photos get layered on top of each other, and I am not sure if it's because the photos are of the same person in action and the differences are subtle or what. Any ideas on how to put photos next to each other? So, here's an example: But what I want is for each layer to be side-by-side instead of on top of each other. Any ideas? Thanks!
  6. Thank you for the 1.6 update. However, I am disappointed that basic drag and drop functionality is not available in the panorama, hdr merge, focus merge, stacking and other file selection dialogs. I usually have a finder window open and I can see the files I want to include in a stack or batch, but then I have to use the add files button and navigate (again) to that folder and select the files. Would love to just drag them from Finder onto the selection dialog list control. This should be a pretty basic code change. After all, drag and drop is coding 101 stuff and shouldn't cause knock on effects or regressions.
  7. Alas, the growing season is over, but the panorama persona nicely stitched three raw frames taken hand-held while standing on a park bench @ Roseland Cottage in Woodstock, CT. Straightened some verticals (18mm wide angle lens) and did some minor tone work and sharpening.
  8. I have Affinity for windows, and I'm really impressed. My old laptop struggles to run affinity though, Looking at reasonable priced new latops (low end) it seems NONE of them can manage a 1920x1080 screen resolution - and I don't use it often enough to justify spending a lot. But I notice that I can get an iPad Air 2 for less than a laptop, and I think I'd use that more too. Editing photos is a big part of what I want to do, so my question is: Is an iPad Air 2 good enough to run Afinity pro withot it being awkwardly sluggish? And that applies to photo editing, and panorama stitching, (which I suspect is considerably more demanding)
  9. I have a number of panoramic images taken by an iPhone, i.e. the iPhone already did the stitching of separate shots. I'm probably missing something obvious, but how do I open these images in AP to use its panoramic tools? If I just open it I simply end up with a rather elongated picture which is not quite what I was after
  10. Would like to have a vertical panorama capability where you can stitch images vertically as easily as you currently can horizontally. This would aid in architectural photography and creative art applications. Current panorama tool will not allow this or if it will I don't know how to apply it where the result is anywhere near satisfactory. Currently it warps the images into a distorted mess.
  11. If I try and use CR2 files for a panorama in 1.6.4 the result is an error saying "no panoramas found". I need to convert them to tiffs or something else. Version 1.5.2 can use the CR2 files in the panorama feature no problem.
  12. Some panorama rigs place a camera in an rotated orientation about the optical axis, setting the diagonal of the image frame to vertical. The effect is to tilt the picture. This is quite efficient and provides for integrated nodal alignment with the mount without need for adjustment. The attached pictures show what I mean better than words can describe. On a PC the best of breed AutoPano Giga can read this orientation without flaw, creating stitched panoramas that have no errors. However, Affinity Photo cannot do this, and makes a mess of an inclined orientation, rendering a garbage panorama. It also has a problem with full frame fisheye lenses. I have Affinity Photo for Windows and as the specs are the same for the iPad version, it would have the same problem. I want to use Affinity Photo for iPad Pro as my platform in the field when taking 360 photospheres. This will not be an option for me until Affinity can stitch a series of full frame fisheye images in rotated orientation (diagonal set to vertical during exposure). APG uses the SIFT algorithm to do this and I think the Affinity Photo panorama picture matching also uses SIFT. It should be a simple thing to program the matching so that an rotated orientation poses no problem.. This improvement would not only help with some photosphere rigs, it would also help with hand held photosphere input, which is often askew.
  13. Just downloaded Affinity photo for iPad and watched the tutorial for Panorama stitching. I have two questions: 1. What I don't see in the tutorial is a way to do a boundary warp after stitching preview, which is an option in the panorama stitching I'm used to doing in the desktop version of Lightroom. Can anyone tell me if it's possible to do that in Affinity, and if so, how? 2. It seems to work for my daytime panoramas, but when I tried to stitch two night sky Milky Way photos together it just didn't do anything. Any tips? Also, is there a way to save those video tutorials for offline viewing? I was thinking of playing with this app on an airplane...
  14. Hi, new user who has to possibly make a hardware purchase decision before I get back to my computer next week to test my theory. I want to know if Afinity has the ability to stitch together photos in 2 dimensions. An example would be a panorama with 2 rows of photos, one row containing the foreground and horizon, and the second row to capture the sky immediately above the foreground pics. I have seen many youtube vids showing this as a built-in capacity to Adobe products, but I have not been able to find any Afinity related discussion on the web. The reason I want to do this has two reasons pertaining to medium format (120 film). First, I have started shooting 120 film again, and am looking to find a quality method to scan them in with proportionally high resolution (please, no responses telling me I dont need that high resolution "since most people look at images on a electronic screen", and I already have an Epson 750, which produces unsatisfactory results). There seems to be very promising results by directly imaging 120 film with a DSLR mounted on a stand directly over back-lit film. Unfortunately, if I capture the whole negative with one shot of my DSLR, I am now working at the resolution of a 35mm camera, which defeats the purpose of why I shoot medium format. I have seen wonderful scans made from 4 or more images of the film (moving the camera or film between each shot where by each shot covers a different section of the negative). Then the 4 (or more) shots are stitched together by software, giving you a high res digital negative. All of the tutorials I have watched do this in photoshop or lightroom, which has the ability to do this automatically. Can Afinity Photo do this? If not, I imagine I could create 2 panoramas (one for each row of the negative) and then stitch those two panoramas together, but would prefer automation. FYI the other reason I want to do this is to achieve higher resolution with my DSLR by taking multiple images of the subject in the same way I would shoot the negatives mentioned earlier in my post. thanks!!!!!
  15. Hello! I used twice affinity photo to create panoramas. I love it because there is a feature "Gitterverzerrung" ?distortion? (Sorry, I use a german version. I don't know how this feature is called in english. So I use the german name). I make my panoramas without a tripod and therefore the horizon often is bended. I use "Gitterverzerrung" to repair these bends. I activated the grid and moved the corners or any point untill the horizon is straight. I can see the effect of my mouseaktivity just in time, wonderful. But now, with my third panorama this feature don't works any longer. I can bend the grid but I don't see any effect.
  16. When creating a new Stack, Focus Merge, HDR Merge, or Panorama the user is prompted to add files to the dialog. When add is clicked, the user is brought to a cloud storage file selection. The first issue is that when using these features, there is no way to add images that are already on the iPad. Some way to add images from local storage needs to be added. These features use a lot of images and it is a big time and bandwidth waste to use cloud storage only for these. Second issue, all these features require selecting multiple images, but the dialog only allows selecting one image at a time. This is especially bad because it is cloud storage. A typical usage of these features god like this, "Click add; Select cloud storage service(it always defaults to iCloud); Navigate through a couple folders; Select an image; Wait for the image to load form cloud storage; Get kicked back to the file list dialog; REPEAT 100 MORE TIMES" I could maybe deal with this if it was only the HDR feature that had this behavior since you are only selecting 3-5 images most of the time using that. But the Focus Merge, Stack, and Panorama features are all likely to use 10 or more images. Focus merging I typically have 50-250 images I have to deal with. Adding a select all files, or allowing the user to select folders would greatly help. For instance, the google drive app has a select all command in the top right. I understand that some of these issues might be softened by implementing drag and drop in iOS11, but it will not full solve the problem. Imagine selecting 50 images for a Panorama or Focus Merge with the drag and drop implementation, vs tapping a single button. It is a big difference. I hope these issues get sorted, because otherwise those features appear to work pretty well. Though I haven't been able to test them a lot, because I want to keep my hair ;) -Steve
  17. The 360º tools in Affinity are... magical. If you wanted to get totally insane, you should implement importing files from PTGUI or AutoPano, they've got a very deep toolset for aligning/warping/blending but there's nothing in those packages for cleanup. The current best way to work is to stitch in one of those packages and render out the results with each camera perspective either on its own layer or as a different image file. But that workflow bypasses the fantastic blending they do, so it's not great. If you were to import .pts or .pano we could do the alignment in the tools best suited for it and then use Affinity for cleanup and finalization.
  18. Does the panorama feature allow you do produce stereographic panoramas, otherwise known as little planets? Looking at a 360 degree x 180 degree panorama. Thanks in advance!
  19. 15 years ago, on honeymoon I took a set of photos (no, not THAT sort of photo, behave yourselves!) as handheld shots of the sunset, with the thought that one day I'd turn them into a panorama shot. Now, all this time later, with AP's brilliant Panorama mode and Tone Mapping / HDR abilities, I've finally got the shot I imagined! Thanks Affinity Warwick Fiji Panorama HDR.tiff
  20. For example, if I take spherical photos, I would wanna add my name to the photo somewhere. Most of the cases it is the origin point on the ground, or up in the sky. Now if go to live projection and design my stamp there, how do I merge it to the background projection?
  21. Hi Affinity team, I shot a panorama of four RAW files making up for one panorama. All of them are deliberately underexposed to preserve the sky details -and they have somewhat different exposure time because some of them are shot against the rising sun.. Shouldn't be a big deal to compensate this - they are ISO 200 RAW files after all. When I import them with the "New panorama" wizard, AP wants to create 2 panoramas of two images each, obviously not recognizing the four belong together. (All images do overlap significantly.) Anything I can do to convince AP to create one panorama from all four? ... apart from possibly tone mapping them separately (thus correcting for the different exposure) and trying to stitch the resulting JPGs, which is rather cumbersome. Matthias.
  22. Hi I did a trawl of current posts, but couldn't find the answer to this question. "Does Affinity Photo apply lens correction to images used in a panorama stitch, or should that step be done independently in advance?" Thanks Chris
  23. Attempting to make a vertical stitch with two images - top (sky), bottom (landscape). Description of Actions I am able to engage the [File][New Panorama] just fine, specify the two files, and stitching occurs I then enable the "Add to source image mask tool", which enables just fine Using the "Add to source image mask tool", I only paint in the landscape that I desire - essentially along the horizon from side to side. Using a smaller brush width, I carefully track the threshold between the land and sky. Render - resulting in the results indicated within the attached files. Problem - The rendered results shows a substantial area above the sky/land threshold - painted in. Returning and trying to fix this by painting in the sky just makes things worse. Additional Suggestions In addition to the "Add to source image mask tool", having the ability to select an area (dotted lines) would be another handy tool to provide within this Panorama capability Currently the only apparent source of imagery for stitching is from disk. Having a way to include images currently in processing would certainly help
  24. Hello, I am building a panorama collage out of 88 panoramic photos. Is there a way to automatically resize and arrange all the photos so they fit into one canvas? I would much prefer not to have to resize each photo individually (they are all different sizes). BTW, I have placed each photo on a separate layer. Thank you! Matias
  25. Hello, The window to assemble the panorama is really too small! Can you enlarge that by 100% ?
