Bruno106 Posted November 8, 2021 Share Posted November 8, 2021 Hi Just upgraded 1.10.4 and i have found that there is no Apply / Stack button when i want to use the new astrophotography stack, i have wiped everything off my computer and reinstalled but still the same apart from wiping again and reinstalling a lower version. Images added Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff DWright Posted November 10, 2021 Staff Share Posted November 10, 2021 Have you watch our tutorial on Equalising colours in Astrophotography https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/tutorials/photo/desktop/video/512553913/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno106 Posted November 10, 2021 Author Share Posted November 10, 2021 have watched this video, all the values are set the same even if i alter them with the channel mixer (all showing 26) the colour is there I can alter them but it makes no difference it's like it's not debayered like I need to stack the rgb from the channels?

Jörn Reppenhagen Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 Had a similar problem. My mistake had been the white balance setting in the stacking dialog - it was set to "Daylight", which caused all colors to be rendered yellow/white.

Bruno106 Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 Hi John I will restack the image, and alter the settings something other than daylight and post a reply. Thanks for your suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno106 Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 tried this Jorn and unfortunately it did,nt work, there is most probably an easy solution but i will keep trying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jörn Reppenhagen Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 @Bruno106: Could you post two of your original RAW files and two of the FITS files? I am no AP expert, but I could give this a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruno106 Posted November 12, 2021 Author Share Posted November 12, 2021 Hi Jorn I have only Fits files as the images were captured with Nebulosity 4 with a ZWO 533 osc, I think the problem lies with the Debayering I have run the images through Siril & unless i check the debayer button they only come out B&W. How do i send the files to you?, i don't no if this is right andy2_001.fit andy2_002.fit andy2_003.fit andy2_004.fit andy2_005.fit andy2_006.fit andy2_007.fit andy2_008.fit andy2_009.fit andy2_010.fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apacheplayer Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 I had a similar problem in that all the FITS files loaded into the Astrophotography Stack showed as monochrome. My solution is to Open 1 FITS file in Photo Persona. This shows RGB. I export as a TIFF and then load this file first in the Astrophotography Stack. I can then load the remaining light etc. files and they all show now as RGB. Interestingly, if I do this and then delete the TIFF file the files then all revert to showing monochrome.

Bruno106 Posted November 13, 2021 Author Share Posted November 13, 2021 Hi Apacheplayer This will most probably be due to the RGB image will be on top of the stack and you are seeing the one colour image, and when you remove it it will leave the remaining mono images. I think that Affinity photo only debayers the RAW images and not FITS files but with being new to me i'm unsure, although it will stack them very well. If this is the case then i will have to debayer in another program. Thank you for your suggestion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apacheplayer Posted November 13, 2021 Share Posted November 13, 2021 Once I have a single TIFF file in my stack all the rest are all FITS and show and stack as RGB . Each individual FITS file shows as RGB as long as the TIIFF file is there. Delete the TIFF file and all the FITS files show as monochrome. I don’t know why this happens as you are supposed to be able to load a stack of FITS files. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
