If you have a few moments, please could someone try stitching these 26 raw files from My Mini 2. I have tried several different groups of images in Photoshop 2021 and Lightroom and have not managed a good finished pano yet.
They are here.

Sorry, just changed it to âAnyone with linkâ
The probable problem you are having with those is so much dark sea there are no details for a stitcher to use accurately.
Also - water moves and highlights (the odd wavelet reflecting the sun), the kind of points that stitchers use, that are in one image just wonât be there in the next.
I realise that a lot of your intended use will be over the sea - so this is always going to be an issue.
Those drones that stitch onboard have the information about heading and pitch of each image, and can use this to overcome some of the problems youâll have with this sort of pano over so much water.
I wondered if this was the case with this particular set, there are 4 very dark images with no features. However, others Iâve tried have better features and still donât work. admittedly, they all have water in them. (As did the drone! )
LOL!
Thanks Dave, that looks fine. I get an error with LR, something like âcanât use 3 imagesâ
Correction - I had auto-crop on - which shouldnât be used.
So - not to OK job.
Thatâs them white bits at the bottom - the dark images.
Yep, thatâs exactly what I get, knackered corners.
I might try lightening them all, stitching, then darkening.
At least, Iâm glad itâs not just me.
Photoshop is even worse. Theyâre all over the place.
Perfect Steve. Whatâs your secret?
Iâm getting a reasonably result using ICE ⌠(not done any sky work) âŚ
⌠although, Iâm uncertain as to how accurate the âdirect downâ area is.
⌠also, thatâs from the DNG thumbnails, not the full DNG (ICE doesnât accept DNG per se).
HI Andrew, no secret. I just pulled into LR and then when the pano was stitched, used the âboundry warpâ slider to fill in the edges. Sometimes this doesnât work but it seems to be OK on this one.
I have uploaded the stitched pano DNG back to your folder.
