costinio Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 I've noticed that when I use the image stack feature, the canvas is sized to match the size of one of the stacked layers. The rest of the content is discarded. I want to keep all the content from the stacked images. Is this possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is likely due to the image Align option on the Stack dialog, the images are being aligned and some of the data is thrown away as part of that process. The only way i know to stop that from happening, is to untick Align on the Stack dialog and that will create a stack from all of the data BUT the images won't be aligned.

costinio Posted April 11, 2022 Author Share Posted April 11, 2022 Thank you for your answer. It's exactly the align option that I use the stack function for so I need this enabled. I don't know of any other way to align images based on their content in Affinity Photo. However, your answer gave me food for thought and when I changed the default `perspective` option to `scale rotate and translate` no content was discarded. And it did a perfect job of aligning the two overlapping images that I tried it on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you check „live alignment“, affinity will add a live perspective filter, and as far as remember will leave the source images intact. If not: you may try to manually place the corresponding images while reusing the perspective filter.

For now `scale rotate and translate` does exactly what I need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
