Pietrach reacted to MEB in Image stack for long exposure - problem
H Pietrach,
Yes, I've started checking this yesterday but I'm still working on it/would like to take a deeper look at this.
I will get back to you soon.

Open one image, and then go file/place, and select the other one.

If this is the case, then it is extremely disapointing, as this image is not, by any stretch of imagination, lacking features which the software could use for alignment. Especially that the individual images were pretty much aligned any way.
Auto Alignment is a must for me. Enough to be a deal-breaker.

Why did you go for a stack? I wonder if you wouldn't have gotten a more evocative powerful image with an actual long exposure.

My guess is that there are too many soft edges (clouds, waves) and not enough hard edges (rocks, mountains) for the auto alignment to work properly. (Or at least in Affinity Photo.) There seems to be a related problem in auto aligning astronomical images.

Pietrach reacted to R C-R in Loss of sharpness
The loss of sharpness is due to using the Perspective Tool, which substantially increased the size of the tower. That required resampling the image to create pixels that were not there in the original image. Below is a comparison of part of the tower from each image, with the original on the left. You can clearly see that the tower is much larger than it originally was.

Hi Pietrach,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
This happens everytime there's the need to interpolate or remove pixels from an image - scaling/resizing it up/down also leads to a loss o quality. The only thing you can do here is try to compensate the loss of sharpeness with an Unsharp Mask or High Pass filter or similar/advanced sharpen techniques to get some of the detail back. Go to menu Layer ▸ New Live Filter Layer and check the second section/group of filters.

Rather than pulling the top corners out you could try pushing the bottom ones in.
