I'm trying to develop a work flow to create superresolution images. Superresolution is a great way to increase detail, reduce noise and increase the megapixel count of an image. In a nutshell the idea is to take a series of photos (up to about 20) of the same image with only slight changes in the position of the camera. Continuous shooting mode, hand held is the easiest way. The steps for the process are (in order) 1. Double the dimensions of each photo 2. Import them into a stack and align them 3. Average the layers I can do this now in Affinity, but the process is slow and awkward. I have to import each image separately, double each image's dimensions, export. Then re-import each image into a stack and set the opacity of each layer something like (bottom to top) 100%, 50%, 33%, 25%, 20%, 17%, 14%, 12%, 11%, 10%, 9%, 8%, 8%, 7%, 7%, 6%, 6%, 6%, 5%, 5%. Is there a way to align layers after they've been imported into a stack? The dimensions need to be doubled before the layers are aligned. This could be a great automated feature in Affinity Photo like frequency separation.
