iMac1943 Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 see attachment I took 6 pictures one by one and changed the angle with each step, so I have al large photo of the landscape. I know there are photo cameras who can do this in one go. I don't have such a camera. although the photos are taken the same moment, I see a difference in colour. How can I correct the photos and have a sky in the same colour. I hope my question is clear. The attachment will explain it better...

Staff Gabe Posted November 17, 2018 Staff Share Posted November 17, 2018 Hi @iMac1943, How did you stitch the panorama? Did you use the Panorama tool? Did you use a 3rd party ? Thanks, Gabe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMac1943 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Well, my wife took the photo with the Nikon camera. She turned around clicking 7 times to have 7 photos. I tried to make 1 large photo of these 7. I think the mistake was having the light mesure on auto. That’s the reason why each picture is different. i tried with several masks but i don’t come to an equal picture. When for example i change the colour of the sky, the water then is chaging too. Problem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the reason why each picture is different. Bang on, the white balance was adjusted on each image, you could try picking the most consistent images and working from them and try to make a good match, the sky isn't stitched well with obviously moving clouds so I'd probably work with the land, you could always replace the sky or so some blurring and noise addition on the sky later. Unless you can go back and take the shot again its going to be a fair bit of work for an average result.

iMac1943 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 Thank you both for your reply. Going back is not an option (Namibia) although I can recomment it. i’ll try working on the sky, as you suggest. something else why I’m here: I use AD a lot and on this forum I asked how to put messurement on. The answer was: you cannot. And somebody suggested Sketchup. I see that you have it on your list of apps. I tried it but had difficulties with that program. Also there is an oneline Version and a version to download. What is the best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem... You will really need to adjust each photo first, concentrating on the non-sky area so they match. Then select the sky only with the Selection Brush Tool (or whatever) and adjust it so that each sky area matches. Use the Info Panel and the targets to match them. Then do your Panorama stitch. It is easy enough and quicker than a return trip to Namibia Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iMac1943 Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 WHAWWWWW!!! This is amazing. How??? Can I download your picture? Of coarse your 'step by step' would be even better. Is there a way you can send it to me? In that way I'll learn a lot. Am I not asking too much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 I'm just going to do a brief video of the history and the process I went through by scrolling through the history and narrating it. I did make a slight goof as I edited your image in the 1.7 beta of Affinity Photo so its not compatible with the older version of Affinity Photo oops! but if you have the beta installed I can upload the afphoto file with history as well.

firstdefence Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Your welcome, glad it looks something like. Best thing is to go and practice taking a few panoramas to see what settings work. Once to get the idea you'll be rattling them off. Or get an iPhone 8 plus and its a cinch, in fact I'm just off to do a bit of photography at Blidworth Woods. So might try a couple of pano's myself.

The original problem was that as the camera was rotated, different images contained different quantities of sky. Therefore the camera adjusted for that, changing the exposure of each image. Just changing the 'exposure' in Photo so they all match would make the images equal, so Panorama stitching would work much better. If not, something else seems to be happening? Quote Windows PCs.
