Becky C Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Hello Awesome Folks at Affinity! It makes me so happy to have your software available to Mac users! Will you all be adding a photo-stitching upgrade for Affinity? It would certainly be nice :) Thanks so much for your work on this great product! idraw, Th1eresaEt, William R and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted January 13, 2015 Staff Share Posted January 13, 2015 Hello Becky C, Welcome to Affinity Forums. Thanks for your suggestion. I don't believe photo-stitching (panoramas) will be considered for Affinity Designer, but it's certainly a great match for the upcoming Affinity Photo (eventually as a new persona). Glad you're enjoying Affinity Designer :) decoloresphoto and idraw 2 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboydoug Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 This topic seems to have gone idle... I thought I would make this my 1st post and kick the tires on the topic to see where it has gone since the last post. Anywhere? I like what PS offers for panoramas and I am thrilled with what I have seen from Affinty so far. Has there been any progress on this?

Staff MEB Posted August 18, 2015 Staff Share Posted August 18, 2015 Hi cowboydoug, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) No, no progress here. There's other features taking priority at the moment. Take a look at our roadmap for more info on what's coming. cowboydoug 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon1 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 The problem with stitching panoramas is that the devs would have to "rent" a licensed algorithm to do the task efficiently (it´s way superior to all other solutions as they said in one other tread). As a consequence they would have to increase the price tag of Affinity Photo and they didn´t really wanted to do this last time. I hope I remember it correctly and didn´t misquote them... cowboydoug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maritan Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 @MBd - could you point me to that post or provide the name of the algorithm/ software that the Affinity devs were talking about? I'm curious. cowboydoug 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon1 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 I searched for it but didn't find it. Sometimes threads are also deleted after some time and maybe it wasn't a separate thread but just in some part of a beta version threat... Sorry...

maritan Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Bummer. I like taking panoramas and I find that I still have to use CS5 (blasphemy, I know) to do the stitching. Trying to find an alternate but am not sure what's good and what's not. Thanks for looking though! :) cowboydoug and anon1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboydoug Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 Thanks for the welcome and the feedback gang... I've been shooting digital panos since '99 and had many film panorama cameras prior to that. I have used most pano SW available until PS really pulled it together a few years ago. When I discovered Affinity a few weeks ago I was hopeful I had hit the mother-load. I'm quite impressed with the speed and ease of use and can't wait to play with it. I just sold my 27" iMac 20 minutes ago and waiting for my new one... Ugh... Let the games begin Quote You can call me Cowboydoug, you can call me Doug, you can even call me Honey but don't call me Cowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboydoug Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 P.S. I for one WOULD PAY extra for this feature Quote You can call me Cowboydoug, you can call me Doug, you can even call me Honey but don't call me Cowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakerlund Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 A tip if you're looking for a pano stich program. HUGIN free and from what i've heard very good... personally i use PTGui. maritan, idraw and MacGueurle 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anon1 Posted August 18, 2015 Share Posted August 18, 2015 The funny thing is PTgui (or most topaz Plugins as well) are more expensive than AP .... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboydoug Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 I am a CC subscriber and have been since day one... I also own the Topaz suite and a couple of On1's. All great programs and each has a purpose for me... What I like about Affinty is, the speed and simplicity both products seem to offer and look forward to exploiting them. As for other pano programs... They would have to surpass what PS already brings to the table... At this point I'm still waiting for that. Thanks for your input Quote You can call me Cowboydoug, you can call me Doug, you can even call me Honey but don't call me Cowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LenC Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 Can panorama stitching be extended to tiling? I sometimes would like to merge two photos vertically for a tree or building. Another posting in this forum mentioned regular use of Brenizer portrait stitching, which according to Wikipedia involves tiling plus other effects. Microscopists, I believe, use such software to assemble mosaic pictures.

Smokey Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 I did not know that Panorama stiching was within Affinity. Will have to try that. Grat fun had with ( Ithink) panorama Plus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
