Hi all, 

Hopefully I have posted this in the correct place, although I'm not convinced I have, apologies if so. 

I have a problem with a panorama I have made. 

I didn't think to take a second row of photos for the sky, but didn't like the balance of the picture once I had blended the pano. As such I extended the sky vertically in affinity, however this has created an odd looking sky. The real solution would be to get it right first time; I will make sure to take more than one row next time, even if it is just blank sky. 

Out of interest though, is there anything I can do to homogenise the sky so it's not separated into the vertical zones as below?  I believe the zones have been created by the colour/intensity of the lights from the buildings.

Origional pano, screenshot from capture one:

Pano with sky extended, screenshot from Affinity:

Workflow: the pano is comprised of 17 images, all shot in RAW (3.2 secs ISO 100, F5.6) and WB corrected to same value in capture one 20, then files exported as 16 bit TIFFs to PTGui where the pano was stitched, then opened in Affinity to use Mesh Warp to adjust perspective and in-painting to accommodate the warp. The sky was then extended, as described above. 

Thanks in advance,

I would not recommend taking a row of images for the sky. There are not usually any edges that the pano software can latch onto. What I would recommend is that you take your images in portrait mode to include the sky, but still have the foreground for the pano software to utilize.

They were shot in portrait, but that is a good point. I have ended up using capture one to smooth the sky out, it was somewhat tedious; I wonder if affinity has a function that might have automated the process, like intelligent fill kind of thing.  Not sure if I've got away with the edit or not, will have a look tomorrow once I get some time away from the screen. 1389991015_Screenshot2020-01-05at18_26_08.thumb.png.b2dd724315d8534d1ab1830b14223199.png

The image needs rotating approx 1º clockwise.

It would help if you posted the original image rather than a screenshot.  If you post a tiff, it will appear as a link that we could download.
