Hi,

I often need to make vertical stitches, usually of "tall" screenshots.  The screenshot tool I have includes a scrolling feature - but it doesn't always work, so I have to resort to something more manual.

Is it possible to use the "stitch" feature in Photo to do this? 

I've only tried once, and it cheerfully stitched everything horizontally in a brave but misconstrued attempt!  Oh well!

Why not rotate the images 90º to the horizontal and try letting it stitch, might work?

Hi AMW,

Welcome to the forums :)

I've just taken a quick 3 shot test using my phone in the office, then added these to a new panorama in Affinity Photo. The three images were stacked vertically correctly, and a panorama was created -

Could you please provide 3 or more of your images that you're trying to stitch together?

I have in the past successfully stitched vertical screenshots.

It should do it, definitely. I have multiple vertical panos. However, I have seen misplaced components before when the content overlap was ambiguous -- in my case, it was with clouds/sky that could reasonably be interpreted to "fit" in multiple places.

AMW, Just out of interest, are these tall screenshots coming from a browser showing a web page? Because Firefox has a screen capture feature built in that grabs the whole page in one go. Saves a lot of time messing about stitching grabs back together.

I still have to do this for sites I work on where the only browser available on a specific machine is IE11, and I find Designer very good for piecing these grabs back together (not automated, but quick nonetheless). You can just use the artboard tool to click on the first grab to create a 'to size' art board, then pull the art board taller on the bottom handle, then place the next grab in, pulling the art board down each time, and everything snaps nicely together without much fuss. It's like a dream compared to doing it in Photoshop.

Vivaldi has that feature, too. Very handy!
