Adam D'Agosto Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Hi all, I'm trying to figure out if Affinity can do what I need as is. Here is a video where Peter Zelinka describes the process using Photoshop and a plug-in. "Star Tracker Blending Tutorial - Using Luminosity Masks" https://youtu.be/x2dVRoyyFrc Basically, he takes a stacked image of the milky way and merges it with the foreground shot. As you may know, start trackers track the sky so you get clear focused starts, but that blurs the landscape. In this case, he takes two perfect images and merges them together. What I'd like to know is, can I do this using Affinity Photo? If so, can you point me to a video or text that explains the process. Thank you so much in advance!

GarryP Posted November 28, 2019 Share Posted November 28, 2019 Welcome to the forums. Here’s an example that was posted recently: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/98670-milky-way-in-affinity-photo/ They don’t give much information about their process but they might give you some tips if you ask them. If you find a good process then I’m sure other people would like to know what works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam D'Agosto Posted November 30, 2019 Author Share Posted November 30, 2019 This is a great start. Does anyone in the Affinity community use the software as a dedicated platform for AP work? If so, can you share your workflow and techniques? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
