Issue: I have a set of Northern Light photos and want to create a panoramic. This works flawlessly with the untouched photos. However, they have a ton of noise, but when I use the AI noise reduction on them, the panorama creation does not work anymore. It is not able to stitch them together and fails with 3 out of 7 photos.

Effective with the 14.0 release, the ability to Denoise the results of Panorama and HDR merges.

It is recommended that you Denoise the result - not the individual component files.

Is this post a near duplicate of:

Should we request the Moderator to merge them?

No, they are two different problems. Both from me, but different issues. 🙂

I am struggling here, because I know I have had the exact same issue and figured out what it was, but can't remember. I'm trying to reproduce but can't do so off the top of my head.

I think it might have had something to do with HDR. Are you working with these RAW files as HDR in any way? Is HDR enabled on any/all of the photos before or after the panorama? Any HDR merges first? Anything like that? It shouldn't matter since the data is all there anyway, I know.

Note that it's also possible that it's the one image that is in the middle is the "problem" image, causing the other two on the right to fail even though they'd normally stitch fine. So I might focus on that one in terms of any difference.

There is no HDR involved anywhere. I know that this panorama is a tough one because the structures in the sky are moving, but this does not explain why stitching works on original files but not on noise reduced ones.
I also have to say that other panoramics from that night work well. So it is an edge case here..
