Panorama is wrong size wrong dimensions

Howdy all. I'm away from my computer, however I can tell you that I'm running Lightroom classic the most recent version update that came out a few days ago and it's now 9/18/21.

Recently Photoshop and Lightroom classic have both started giving me lots of errors with panorama photo merges.

Photoshop just I don't even know where to begin..

At least I can phrase the question for Lightroom classic.

When I merge the photos, the resulting panorama is a one by one aspect ratio when it should be 3x4..

These are wide angle panoramas.

If there is a solution to just stretch the square into the rectangle it ought to be, I'm happy with that solution.

The transform function however does not do this.. it keeps the image as one by one.

Not to mention it's a pain in the butt.

Customer support took remote control of my computer and fiddled with it for 2 hours, changed my preferences, uninstalled the program, went around his elbow to get to his knee and didn't solve the issue.

All of my panoramas up until a week ago or so have been coming out fine.

I haven't changed anything in the settings that I know of.

Even if I had, customer support reset the preferences today and that didn't fix the issue.

Further, even though when I import any photos into a catalog I have it use the embedded camera profile to correct the images, when I'm merging them as a pano there is a message displayed saying that it's unable to locate the camera profile..

The camera profile has already been successfully applied to each individual image and I can verify this by looking at each of the fragments of the pano.

In any case, even if my camera profile isn't supported, how do I take a 1x1 image and have it stretched so that it is the appropriate 4x3?

Or, is there any way to take more control over the panorama function and tell it what the resulting size should be?

The camera I am using is the DJI air2s.

The camera itself stitches together a JPEG image and then gives me the raw dng's to work with as well.

The jpeg produced by the camera is the right size, of course.

When I attempt to merge the dng's of each of the nine fragments, it puts them together as a squished and contorted one by one.

I appreciate any solution that helps me get these images to the size they are supposed to be even if it's a workaround.

Thank you.

During the Merge Photo PANO, what Projection(s) have you tried? Using the wrong one can cause such a result, Sometimes using the right one goes wrong, and using what should be the wrong one works. Often using perspective works best along with Boundary Warp.

Note, LrC will remember what setting for Projection, was selected in the previous merge, if that setting was not your normal, if it was for a thought case, then you might be not noting that it us not what you normally find works for you.

Yes, I was just going to ask that. GoldingD beat me to it. The panorama looks like it was done with a spherical projection, hence the curved horizon. It also looks like you already cropped it in the merge dialog, and did not try boundary warp or content aware fill either. https://helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/panorama.html

Hey all. This is a cylinder merge.

Spherical was either worse or didn't work.. same with perspective.. I forget which one was more jacked up and which one couldn't render at all.

Opening lrc now after an epic hike and shoot that wasn't planned to be so epic. 😮✌️

"The camera I am using is the DJI air2s."

There have been a number of issues around DJI discussed here. I'd suggest checking on the DJI Forums.

I can't comment on the merge without seeing the images, but I have found that Lightroom indeed has problems merging DJI panoramas if these were shot with the gimble looking a bit downwards when you started the shots.

As for your Transform question: When you try to change the aspect ratio in Transform (which is definitely possible), make sure that Constrain Crop is unchecked.

Thanks Johan.

I appreciate the reply

When I uncheck "constrain aspect ratio" and crop the photo, I get a contorted, squished image cropped to a smaller size. It doesn't stretch the image to those dimensions.

I'll post photos when I'm back at my desk.

That is not wat I said. You have to uncheck Constrain Crop, at the bottom of the Transform panel. Then you can use the Aspect slider to change the aspect ratio.
