Fill sky on aerial 360 pano.

[Pav1007]

Hello, 

I'm new to Affinity Photo so please forgive my question. I looked everywhere for answer but I couln't found it :-(

I mostly use Photoshop, but some friends tell me that Affinity Photo is the best software for editing 360panos from drone, so I downloaded it and try. 

When I want to fill my "hole in the sky" I bumbed into a wall - when I set FOV to 90deg then I saw that is to low for my "sky"

So here is my question:

Is there a possibility to expand FOV over 90deg or change canves in which photo is displayed, so I can edit my "sky hole"?

I will be grateful for any answer or hint how to do it.

Thank and best wishes

Hi Pawl,

normally you can simply inpaint the transparent area, no need to go over 90° FOV.

You can edit this area even if it is not fully visible during live projection.

 

Assuming you want to inpaint the transparent area, and that area is the only area with transparent pixels:

1. Select>Alpha Range>Partial Transparent Pixels
2. Select>Grow Shrink Selection (Ctrl-B) chose a number about 10px and click apply
3. Edit>Inpaint (Alt-Backspace)

If there is any chance that you can provide an source image where the issue is visible (no screenshot, actual image or .afphoto file), we can try to find a solution.

Hello @NotMyFault

Thank you for answer. I've done like you said and everything will be fine but selection of Transparent pixels only works within FOV, so part of "hole" wasn't selected. Of course I can do it partially for big part and then smaller gaps but I want to do it as one step.

Here is a Pano, i will be gratefull for any solution

This is more complex. Half the sky is missing. So it would be best to do a partial or full sky replacement. Or simply paint in a blue sky, and use clone tool or patch tool to add some clouds. This can be done before using projection.
