Panorama using Fuji Raw files - locks up

[David Wilcock]

Using Fuji Raw files to add to Panarama.  It locks up Affinity Photo and have to close and restart. 

I tried a single file still a problem.

Hi David,

I'm not seeing an issue here. Can you share enough samples so I can try and reproduce this please?

[Subclavius]

Have you tried turning off hardware acceleration (Edit > Preferences > Performance)?  I can stitch a panorama successfully with my Fuji RAW files

[David Wilcock]

Thanks for the feedback. 

Subclavius - I have made the changes to the performance and switched off to no avail.

I notice when I try to add any fuji raw file it just hangs. 
If I use jpg tif etc it works. 

So what happens.   I add a file fuji raw file and the whole program hangs. I have to reboot the program. 
If I use jpg and tif files it works no problem. 

Interestingly enough Affinity photo can ordinarily open to do any edits just not in panorama. 
I can put a few of my fuji raw files in a google drive with link.

Thanks for sharing the pics. Your Fuji files stitch together fine on my pc, both with and without HA (see pic).

Things to consider now:

• also on the Performance panel you will see a memory limit - try increasing this as high as it will allow, as a test.  On my pc I have it set to the maximum
• check out this post about other software which can conflict with APhoto

• other things might be the graphics drivers, or just possibly the hardware.  Are you able to give any details about hardware/graphics drivers installed in your system?
