Auto align photos

[Lich555]

Hi.

I've got a 2 shots on the white background, shoot by hand so they are not perfectly aligned. How to align them?

There's an old same topic here, but videos no longer exist. Here's what I've tried:

File → New Stack... → Add → chosing those two shots I'd like to align → OK. I've ended up with a group of two shots

In the program they look like they're aligned. So I've ungrouped them. But when I try to export them like that:

Selecting one of those 2 photos. File → Export... → Area: Selection Only → Export. Same with second photo.

But the result is that they are not aligned... Like original images, nothing has changed.

if you use new stack and live alignment, you need to rasterize the images (each layer individually) before exporing to keep the alignment.

So I've done everything like before, but after ungroup, I've clicked each layer, PPM → Rasterize... and Export like before. Same result, they're not aligned.

Can you upload the actual afphoto file, or the 2 source images?
i used this process a lot to stack images of the moon, it works in general.

Ok man, I got it now In some photos it does good job, but look here. Is there any way to align it properly without shifting/tilting? I've attached 2 photos used in this stack.

You may expect too much in this case. Except for the general similarity outer edge ((no match at all in the details), these images have absolutely nothing in common which would allow for an automatic alignment.
