WeiPhotoArts Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I was testing AP Beta 1.5-11 on a mid-2009 MacBook Pro using Yosemite 10.10.5. When the 8 image pano completed in the "New Panorama" screen, the list of Images and file names were upside down. Please see the attached jpeg for an example. BTW, the pano came out great, with minimal lost areas (I was shooting with a Pano Head, leveled). WeiPhotoArts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_K Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 Hi WeiPhotoArts This is peculiar! I have never seen this before and have no idea what could be causing it! Is it only with this specific set of image or is it occurring for all images you have?

WeiPhotoArts Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Only tried 1 panorama (that's all I had for the 1.5-11 Beta. I just shot a 7-8 pano today, so I'll try & report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeFromMesa Posted November 17, 2016 Share Posted November 17, 2016 I tried this using some old pano photos on Beta 11 and I am not seeing this. My photos are raw, just in case that makes any difference. I will try them on some jpgs as well. UPDATE: I also tried this with jpgs and the pano functionality is still working properly for me so I assume this is not a general problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeiPhotoArts Posted November 17, 2016 Author Share Posted November 17, 2016 Ok, I tried pano photos I took today with Nikon NEF RAW files on Beta 11. Same thing happened (see attached photo). Note, I tried 7 RAW images (as opposed to 8 the last time). But the same thing happens on the New Panorama Screen, after I press the Stitch Panorama button on the bottom of the screen. Note, the thumbnails are ok, but the wording of the file name is upside-down, again. My finalized pano appears to be good. Did your panos have 7-8 images, or were they a lower number of images?

WeiPhotoArts Posted November 18, 2016 Author Share Posted November 18, 2016 I did more panos, and okay, this will be a hard one to resolve. Short story: I can no longer replicate the errors above. Here's what I did: 8-shot pano Pic-1 Upside down New Panorama Screen wording, only) 7-shot pano Pic-2 Upside down New Panorama Screen (wording, only) 4-shot pano Pic-2 Correct New Panorama Screen (nothing upside down) 5-shot pano Pic-2 Correct New Panorama Screen (nothing upside down) 6-shot pano Pic-2 Correct New Panorama Screen (nothing upside down) 7-shot pano Pic-2 Correct New Panorama Screen (nothing upside down) Yeah, the same shoot as above for Pic-2!! 8-shot pano Pic-2 Correct New Panorama Screen (nothing upside down) This is not Pic1, but Pic 2 Don't know what to say, except that you saw the problem, so I wasn't imagining upside down wording...

Chris_K Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Hi WeiPhotoArts If you are still getting this with the 8-shot pano Pic-1 or 7-shot pano Pic-2, would you be able to upload the files somewhere and provide us a link so we can take a go at replicating this?

MikeFromMesa Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 I don't take such wide panos so I have no real way to try to reproduce this, however I took one of my panos and duplicated some of the images so I got a 9 image pano (from the original 5) and stitched them together. I did not see this problem but my setup was probably not a realistic test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeiPhotoArts Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Hi Chris_K, I'm not sure how I can set up a process by which you can download the files. Let me mull on this for a day or two to come up with a solution. They are NEF RAW files, about 24mb each, and you're asking for 15 of them.

Let me mull on this for a day or two to come up with a solution. They are NEF RAW files, about 24mb each, and you're asking for 15 of them. If you have a Dropbox account you can just upload them to a folder and send the link. That is how I send raw images to this forum when I have to. There are similar services from Google and Apple as well as free transfer services. Out of curiosity does the problem still happen if you convert the raws to jpgs and then use them for the pano?

WeiPhotoArts Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 Hi Chris_K, I took MikefromMesa's advice and will be sharing my RAW files through DropBox. That being said, I'm not too experienced in doing this, but I do know I need your email to do that. Can you send that to me? Or does it need to be through this forum?

WeiPhotoArts Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 To MikefromMesa, I have not tried to convert to RAW files to jpegs. and then Panos on jpegs. Will try to do that in a couple of days, converting with LR6 from NEF RAW to 100% jpegs. Will let you know results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeiPhotoArts Posted November 20, 2016 Author Share Posted November 20, 2016 To MikefromMesa, I converted the RAW files to 100% jpegs. In both the 8-Pano stitch and the 7-Pano stitch with jpegs, there was no difference that what was expected from the "New Panorama" screen after the "Stitch Panorama" button was pressed: The list of thumbnails and filenames were properly rendered. I've now done 3 runs of the NEF 8-Pano and 7-Pano stitches. Only the first pano run of each (done in that same session of AP Beta 11) were the file names Upside Down (actually the correct term I meant was "Flipped Vertical" in Affinity Photo parlance). I have not yet been able to replicate the problem since those first runs. Maybe the Beta 1.5-11 started to behave itself after all this attention...

You do not need anyone's email to share through Dropbox. All you need to do is share the Dropbox link(s) to the files or folder. On a Mac that means right-clicking on the item (file or folder) to copy the link, then either paste it into your post or highlight a word (I typically write something like "The link is here" where I highlight the word "here"), select the link icon from the message header and past the Dropbox link into the dialog box. That will post the link and make it available to anyone who wants to download the items. I suspect it is pretty much the same on a Windows machine.

MikeFromMesa Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 Maybe the Beta 1.5-11 started to behave itself after all this attention... Like going to the dentist. My pain always stops when I get to his office ... :P As someone who used to have to find software issues from user's problem descriptions (and sometimes crash dumps) I can tell you that one time problems can be very, very difficult to find as they might well involve a side effect from some other app you are running or some specific condition on your system that may no longer be operative. Still, I am sure everyone on this forum who has read your posts will be on the lookout for such a problem on their machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_K Posted November 21, 2016 Share Posted November 21, 2016 Hi WeiPhotoArts When clicking share on dropbox in your browser there should be a button that says create link. You can then copy that link and paste it here, or paste into a PM to me if you prefer Serif Europe Ltd - Check the latest news at www.affinity.serif.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeiPhotoArts Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 Sorry for taking so long. I'm not used to Dropbox, and it took me a while to figure out the rather simple instructions provided by Chris_K. Anyways, I'm keeping this link open for 30 hours, and then closing it. Chris_K, please try to download the NEF files. If there's any problems, let me know through this forum. The link: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/0vy9vvnw2hi35rt/AABUeuHGJBhZlMTY9ShmscTsa?dl=0 Thanks for all the help, everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeiPhotoArts Posted November 23, 2016 Author Share Posted November 23, 2016 Forgot to mention, these are not files you normally would want to download, unless you were serious in testing. one set is 168mb, the other 178mb. Large, RAW Nikon NEF files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
