Align new images with a bigger Project

[Santiago]

Hi,

I'm having issues to align new images to a huge project I'm processing. The whole project has around 60K images so far, and I just got 2.5K new images that I need to align, but it's been impossible to align this neww images without resetting the whole project. I don't know what should be the methodolgy used but I've tried selecting around 5K images that include the new ones and the one that have already aligned and oerlap with them, then I right click and select the option align selected images with no new images aligned in the process.

Please let me know how to proceed. Right now I'm aligning the new images in another chunk, but chunk aligment has worked very poorly so far.

Best regards,

Hello Santiago,

The incremental image alignment feature assumes that the Key Points have been saved in the original project ("Keep Key Points" option in the Advanced preference tab had been enabled before the first processing has been started), after that you would be able to add more images to the already aligned chunk and use Align Photos command (with "Reset Current Alignment" option disabled) to match the newly added images with already aligned camera set, without running everything from scratch.

Hi Alexey,

I did not have the keep key points selected in the advanced tab. I assume I have to align the whole project again. It's a shame as it's huge, but thanks for the help. I'll keep that small detail in mind from now on and always keep it selected.

Best,

Santiago
