I congratulate you for the new tutorials where the image of the person who is explaining does not appear, since this image distracts and covers part of the program's interface. Congratulations!

Straight to the point! pretty useful!! Just a question...Is there any way to change the perspective of the panorama that I have seen in other software devoted to panorama stiching?

I am going through a phase of stitching together vast panoramas, often utilising several hundred photos (micro four thirds camera, so each file is just over 20mb) but am having a problem with clouds and seas (mostly skies). Affinity photo just tends to skip these areas altogether, meaning the final image often has big holes in it.
I use the inpainting feature whenever needed but the results are hit and miss and can ruin the overall image.
Can you make a video addressing this situation and maybe how I can manually stitch the missing images?

I always get little dark smudges on the joins which is really annoying. Microsoft ICE was my go to for pano's because of the variety of projections available, but they discontinued it.

Hi Martyn, in this video James describes how to fix the seam errors using the Source Image Mask Tool, give it a try!
