Hi there, trying to resurrect this post. I Also would like this, I think a quick feature of autoallign the alredy open layers without the need to open the stacking engine and search for the files would be a improvement. I think I saw more people talking about this. I work with real state photos a lot and my workflow will be a lot easier and faster with this, I usually process arround 150 or 300 pictures per day so every second counts. I usualy do this: Work on Capture One the raws -> Send the pictures (if needed, for example with a flambient) to Affinity Photo on TIFF. This creates a bunch of tabs, one per image sended to Affinity -> Open Stack and add the files (First I search for them on Finder or directly paste the files route, once this is done Affinity remembers the last route used and this step is not alredy needed on this job) -> select the files I want to allign and open them -> select Rotate and escalate option and apply (the memory of the tool would be awsome in here too so select this every single time not will be needed) -> The stacking engine creates a new tab with the layers alligned in a group, I select and copy the layers needed and paste them in the tab of one of the original TIFFs -> Delete the original TIFF layer (Usually the bottom one) and the editing work begins. Once this is done I save everithing over the original TIFF (Most of the times with the layers just in case I need to reopen this photo) so I can open the TIFF in Capture One like it was the original image. So yeah. I think allign the open layers with a button would be nice. Or maybe even a "open as layers on Affinity Photo" plugin for Capture One, but this is another discussion. Thanks and I very sorry for my poor translation.

I'm with a similar issue months ago. I want to make a Batch Job to watermark a lot of images whatever the sizes or orientation with the same size of watermark in relation to the image to have a consistency. All I can archive is a macro as follows: 1 - Resize document to 3000px (for example) at 72ppp with the proportion lock on 2- Place the watermark (I already have a png 3000x3000px waiting for this purpose) 3 and 4 - Allign center and middle the new layer 4 - Holding Command, transform manually to the size I need 5 - Set opacity to 50% As a Batch job it works but only on horizontal images, if they're vertical Affinity make a distortion. I think the issue is because Affinity ignore the proportion lock and only uses the the absoute numbers introduced at the first slot.
