I process thousands of 360 Pano images taken in 3 brackets. I had to return to the dark side and sub to Adobe to get the batch processing abilities of Lightroom but their HDR merge is utter rubbish compared to that in Affinty Photo, with the latter producing far superior neutral results. Yes I have set Lightroom to not apply any affects to the results, just to merge a basic HDR, but it often produces horrid colour grades nigh on impossible to fix in a sensible timeframe. Is it at all possible to automate the stacking and HDR merging of images in AP2? For reference in LR, you can pick hundreds of images and stack them by time so all images within say 2 seconds of each other are stacked. These stacks can then be batch HDR merged. A single project of ours can have hundreds of setups with 15 images (5 stacks) each soon running into thousand. Doing them one by one in AP2 is simply not viable.

I found the option under document as shown in the screen grab above shortly after posting thanks but I could swear that in V1 "Photo" was the same as Designer etc in that with an existing document open, you could go to File Document Setup / Colour box and make such changes. However I do not have a Document Setup option in Photo and I deleted V1 after upgrading so can't refer back now. I assume that I was incorrect in thinking that this option was in V1 then.

Like it says on the Tin, used to have no issue finding the document settings in V1 of Affinity Photo but can't find it anywhere now in V2. I have some logos I made a while back and I want to change the background to Transparent. Used to just pull up doc settings and change it under colour. Can't find it anywhere now.

Images were taken as 3 brackets 0.5ev in Fine Jpeg. (1000's of images so RAW too intensive) Brackets auto detected in Lightroom by duration to get my stacks Stacks converted to HDR in Lightroom without applying any corrections Auto WB applied in Lightroom Manual tweaks to resulting HDR images.

I was taking images inside a Retail Unit and had unknowingly left my camera locked on 5500 WB. This resulted in mostly orange warm images. Software to hand are Photoshop & Lightroom Desktop current version plus latest version of Affinity Suite. Using Lightroom I can do an Auto WB which does a decent job but the odd image is really cold and tinted. Getting it roughly the same temp result in areas that should be orange being almost red. Messing about with tint doesn't work either. Colour match in PS doesn't rectify it nor does the Gradient Map in Affinity Photo 2 so I am a bit stuck.

So I have a bunch of photos I messed up having the WB setting on my camera incorrectly set. I have fixed the mas best I can in Lightroom but I have some that are still significantly out from each other though taken in same location and settings. Looking online I thought I would try AF2's colour matching via Swatch from donor image. There are several tutorials on this on YT but V2 doesn't seem to have most of the Tabs in V1 one! After opening the image I only have Histogram & Colour and no pull down seems to offer the ability to find it. Is something missing? Is V2 now different? How does one do colour matching from a donor image in V2?

Can't see a way to pick multiple pen paths and then covert to a selection though unless I'm missing something?

FYI a "Nadir Patch" is the logo etc used to cover the base of a 360 image in some instances rather than painting out the Tripod etc.

I'll have a look at that then thanks.

Hi all, I make our Nadir patches as vectors and export to PNG. These are typically a circle with a number in the centre that increases from "00" to "500". This is very time consuming to do the current way whereas I up the number each time and then export it...rinse and repeat. Is ther any form of automation I can apply to get it to do this for me?

It's working wit hall subsequent text so can only assume a glitch or something. Couldn't rectify it though and had to delete it.

....insert some more text and that works perfectly, I can just double click it to re-edit the contents but the initial text will not respond.

I've been using AP for about a year now after many years of CS6 and today I have a question I really shouldn't be having to ask! I have just inserted some text then set the font and Hight parameters of it. Now however I am unable to edit them. It makes no odds if I am using the select arrow or the text option, whatever I do I can't get "into" that text again to change what it says, change font or height. This MUST be a bug because no software can surely be this hard to do such a basic function.....?

Thanks guys, that did the trick!

Hi, I am "trying" to print 6 copies of a single business type card on an A4 sheet. All the help I can find says us N-Up which is fine, but that's where the guidance ends! So far I simply can't get more than one to print. I have tried changing the amount of copies and the Across / Down values to 2 & 6. Changing Across and Down just increases the dotted print area but no additional copies are shown in the preview nor print. Not having a dig, but why is this function so unobvious to use?
