Panorama not found

[deano198]

Hi I am new to affinity and to this forum.  I do realise this is a very common question but i'm baffled just the same. I  have had a problem trying to stitch a panorama. I am using stock photos from online sources, Is this a problem? I use Mac, the photos are on my desktop. The photos are jpeg which I converted to TIFF files as I have seen a video saying it was easier for the program to create the panorama! The photos I uploaded are in Jpeg format. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I doubt this will work, because there´s no matching camera origin point-of-view, focal length and perspective. Even with manually stacking you´ll see instantly there´s no match:

I think so as there´s no EXIF information about the shots.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity Forums, @deano198.

The panorama stitching algorithm tries to identify matching features at the right-hand end of one photo and the left-hand end of an adjoining one, but your two photos don’t have that: apart from being taken at a different angle, the second photo is quite similar to the first, the main difference being that buildings are missing from the left and new buildings have been added on the right. Try cropping the second photo so that only the right-hand third remains (i.e. the added tower block plus part of the building next to it).

Thanks for the post, I will try that and see how it goes. Am I right in assuming that I need to better match the photos from one end for the panorama program  to recognise it?

Thanks for the post, Will this program work better If I took the shots myself using a camera and stitched them that way??

no question: yes.

Have you seen the tutorials about this topic from Serif already?

[deano198]

no I haven't, sorry I'm new. I will though if you point me in the right direction. I was going to ask the reason I want a panorama is because I wan to expand a landscape picture without loosing resolution. It need's to be about 10 metres in length. Is there another way I can achieve this?

You want pixels, pixels, pixels as much you can get:

this is great thank you.

Good luck on your project. Sounds quite challenging. (For me it´d be big brushes and loads of color.   )

Is it just these 2 images you want to merge or are there more to the set?
