Panorama odd behavior

[EdM]

I took 13 photos of a large storm building up over the mountains. When I attempted to create a panorama from the photo set, Affinity created two panoramas: one of the lower two-thirds of the scene and one of the upper third of the scene. However, when I created a panorama using only the _upper_ two-thirds of the scene, that panorama stitched correctly. So, I can get either the upper two-thirds or the lower two-thirds of the scene, but not the entire scene. Am I doing something wrong?

Have you tried to stich the two previously stitched images? (i.e.  the upper two-thirds and the lower two-thirds images.)

[EdM]

Yes, I have. The timer spins for a while, then nothing happens.

Seems there is an issue with panorama in this release. This maybe related?

I didn’t know about the Bugs subforum. I’ll post this over there.

Without seeing the images in question, it's hard to tell. Since you describe it as a storm, I'm going to guess that there is either not enough overlap in critical areas or the overlap that is there is ambiguous -- likely in the cloud formations which tend to be self-similar. I've had some cloud-centric panos fail in similar ways.

If you want to post your files, one or more of us can take a look in deeper detail to attempt to answer whether it's the images, the software, or you. :-)
