Yes, this is what I currently do, actually I am trying DeepSkyStacker.

Yes, I fully understand how specific it is to work on astronomical images but I feel that Affinity Photo is few steps away from providing a basic support for the typical workflow. Stacking works very well, I made some quick tests with star field sequences and was quite satisfied, having a way to apply dark frames and flat fields to each frame would make the astronomy newbie quite happy.

Hi IanSG, I do agree with you. For the little I know, dark frames should be subtracted from the light frames so I think this could be achieved by proper layer merge. Don't know how exactly deal with flat fields, maybe somebody out there can help

Hello, did anybody try to use Affinity Photo for even basic astronomical images processing? I started with stacking without dark frames and worked very nicely, how would you apply dark frames and flat fields? Thank you Gaetano

Thank you Kodiak! Now I just need to find a gentle bird willing to fly the right way... :D

Hi, I stepped into this thread while spending some spare time reading news about Affinity Photo and didn't want to miss the chance to say that the shots are really beautiful, they give much of the taste of wild life. I dare asking if you can give the exposure parameters for photos 9 and 10, I like a lot the little dynamism of the wings Thank you

Hy guys, do we have any news about this greatly-desired-wished-requested new application from Serif?

Thanks guys, this is very good software, my very best compliments!

Hello, I am giving a look to AP RC4 and probably I stepped into a little bug, to find it the steps are: 1) Open several images (maybe two are enough) 2) Go to Develop Persona 3) Click on Mirror 4) Select another image 5) The new image is shown in centred (non-mirror) mode The problem is that the Mirror button remains pressed even if the image is not shown in mirror mode. Is it as expected? Gaetano

Hello Chris, Thank you for your answer. Indeed it seems to me too quite excessive, to verify I made several tests with different images but got the same result, more or less. Gaetano

Hello, I am currently giving a look to Affinity Photo 1.5 RC3, specifically to the HDR feature and I must say it is sensibly better tuned than RC2, it is getting better and better. My curiosity is about the .afphoto project file which is definitely big with respect to the base images used for the HDR Stack. I used three RAW (NEF) pictures from my 16Mpx camera (close to 18 MB each) and the resulting .afphoto file is more than 400MB, is it normal? Thank you Gaetano

Congratulations for the incredible work you are performing, it is rare to see such a massive upgrade!
