Feature Requests / Re: Export photo with alpha channel

« on: October 13, 2025, 07:54:37 PM »

Hi Alexy,
I found information on a forum about how to turn the transparency in a 32 bit image into a layer mask. Thanks for your help, and ignore the feature request, you already have it  .



You can shut off the layer mask to see the image. The image mask can easily be saved as a channel alpha.


Thanks Alexy!

Yes, and if I then if I Import Masks, Method: From Alpha, the mask is there.

This is the image exported from Metashape Pro with File type: Image and alpha channel, Filename template: {filename}_mask.TIFF

Here is the exported image in Photoshop:


This is how I would like it to be:

Hi Alexey,

TIF format.
I don't see any options for file format other than changing the extension in the file name,  {filename}_mask.tif.

The original imported photos are 24 bit TIF without an alpha channel.

Feature Requests / Export photo with alpha channel

It would be good if Metashape exported the original image with a true alpha channel. In my case I generated mask in Metashape from a model. I would like to touch up the alpha in Photoshop. When I export mask from Metashape with the option "Image with alpha channel" it creates the image as a layer with a no-data area where the mask was instead of exporting the whole image with a true alpha channel.

It would be good if under Layers it was Background.

and under Channels it was:
RGB
Red
Green
Blue
Alpha

Hi Alexey, I'm not sure if it has happened in build 19890, it hasn't happened in a while. If it does happen again, I will send you a link to the project.
Thanks,

General / Re: Batch Process>Build Texture use default Pixel size?

« on: January 23, 2025, 04:32:16 PM »

This needs to be estimated, so just estimate and use that value in the batch process field.

When you run Build_Texture... or Build Orthomosaic... individually it, computes the value. Estimating the value for batch mode won't work since the photos for the different chunks were taken at different distances.

General / Batch Process>Build Texture use default Pixel size?

« on: January 22, 2025, 07:31:56 PM »

Is there a way to automaticly use the default Pixel size with Batch Process>Build Texture?


It appears to use the Texture size when the Pixel size is 0.

General / Re: Build orthomosaic from textured model in 2.2.0 only with cameras?

Oops! I didn't see this before I created another thread about this feature.

It is a really nice addition. It enhances the relief of an ortho that otherwise looks flat. 

I first built the texture using the default pixel size (it is also the default size for the ortho).


Building an orthomosaic with Transfer model texture unchecked finished processing in 107.826 sec

Building an orthomosaic with Transfer model texture checked Finished processing in 38.987 sec

Thank you for adding this Agisoft! It enhances the relief nicely in an ortho that otherwise looks flat.

After running Align Photos... I selected photos that were not aligned, then right clicked and chose Align Selected Cameras. In the Workspace panel it indicates more of the photos aligned, but in the Model view the tie points from the original alignment are gone

Can you please confirm, if the issue is still observed in the latest 2.2.0 update?

Hi Alexey,
Still having issues. I ran Align Photos with Reset current alignment checked, it didn't align all the images. I selected the photos that were not aligned, right clicked and choose align selected cameras. Addition photos were aligned, but the number of tie points dropped to what I guess is the number of tie points for the newly aligned photos. I selected the remaining photos that weren't aligned, right clicked and choose align selected cameras again. More cameras were aligned and the number of tie points increased to what I guess is the total for the alignment.

1) initial alignment 411/440 images aligned, 554,264 tie points
2) second partial alignment, selected images not aligned right click align selected cameras, 417/440 images aligned, 1,856 tie points
3) third partial alignment, selected images not aligned right click align selected cameras, 421/440 images aligned, 567,531 tie points

This issue remains in version 2.2.0 build 19853.

I have two display adapters in my computer, an AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050. In Metashape Preferences it list the AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT twice, one Vulkan and the other OpenCL. By default the OpenCL one is checked. Is this the prefered settings, and what is the difference?

No response from Agisoft Technical Support for well over a week. I hope everything is OK for them. Crazy times in the world these days  .


Just noticed this:
Updated to version 2.2.0 build 19522.

That's encouraging!
