Funn4Lo Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Windows 10 I like to create aerial 360 panoramas with my drone. I normally end up with 34 photos to stitch, which I do in Autopano, then color correct the full stitched image in Affinity. Now I want to take AEB bracketed images to build this 360 pano. So that will be 34x3 photos. I have done single photo bracket HDR merge in Affinity. But now I am looking for a batch merge process for my 34x3 photos. Can someone point me to a tutorial or process for this? Or if not, at least a way to save all settings, so I can manually merge the photos keeping the same parameters?

walt.farrell Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I doubt there's anything automatic/batch in Photo for this. Would this work? Use the set of 34 that correspond to one bracket, and stitch them into a panorama and export it. Repeat for the next set and the final set, giving you 3 panoramic photos, one for each bracket. Then use File > New HDR Merge and load the 3 panoramic photos.

The dev that developed the software to fly the pictures, and produce an xml file to align the stitch, batch merges the AEB brackets first, then stitches the HDR photos. So I was trying to follow his work flow. But he uses Photomatix for the HDR merge. Photmatix has a batch merge mode for the AEB brackets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Rostron Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I would guess that the Panorama first then HDR second is likely to give you better results. If you have Photomatix and it does batch merging, then you could try HDR first then Panorama second and compare the results. I would not like to do it non-batched! Perhaps you could let us know.
