Question

Panorama Creation of stacks creates multiple processes

Issue: Let's say I have 5 images that I want to stitch to a panoramic, but first I want to reduce the noise in them. The AI noise reduction created a dng file and creates a stack of the original and the noise reduced file. When I now select those 5 stacks and try to start the panorama module, it starts 6 actions at once: In the first five actions, it tries to stitch each stack alone, creating 5 new extremely distorted images. Only action 6 opens the panorama module.

This behaviour is new and I never observed it before.

The workaround is to open every stack and select only the noise-reduced images. Then it works as it should.

 

Lightroom Classic version: 13.5.1

OS: Windows 10

 

How to reproduce: Create stacks of images that you want to stitch to a panorama. Select stacks and open the panorama module.

What happens: Some mysterious parallel stichting processes start that are not hepful at all

What should happen: Start the panorama module and use only the top photo of each stack.

With the 14.0 release, Denoise now functions for merged HDR and Panorama images. 

It is recommended that you perform Denoise on the result of the Photo Merge and not on the individual component files.

Not at a computer to test, my bad. But if you really really want to stack first. you may be able to:

 

expand the stacks, then select just the DNG files, then merge

or

filter on DNG, select them, then merge

Just uncheck the option to stack the denoised image and the original. Then filter on DNG to make selecting the images for panoramas easier.

Yeah, that's kind of the workaround I described. I am just wondering because I do this since at least a year, but suddenly that procedure does not work anymore. It seems that handling stacks in the panorama module was changed.

Not really. You said to open every stack and only select the denoised DNG. My workaround is to not stack the denoised DNG and the raw file in the first place. You can stack all files (DNG and raw files) after you created the panorama.
