mdavice Posted February 11, 2023 Posted February 11, 2023 How can I import several photos (the same, but with different exposure) on different layers and align them ? Thank you! Quote

mdavice Posted February 13, 2023 Author Posted February 13, 2023 Hello, thnx for answering, but I know the procedure of HDR-merging. What I want is to control this procedure: in PS you can import different (different exposure) photos in layers, and then working with masking for further image blending. Is this procedure possible in Affinity photo? Quote
NotMyFault Posted February 13, 2023 Posted February 13, 2023 After you created an HDR stack, you can use the clone tool in combination with the sources panel to manually clone in patches from selected sources into the HDR image. Affinity is very restricted when using stacks. Masking get degraded to on/off instead of linear mix of alpha. If you want to manually compose multiple layers with stacks (really not working good in Affinity) new stack (without HDR), live alignment After images got stacked and aligned: move them out of stack to allow working with masks. you may create a regular group and blend mode average. add individual masks to layers - this is very cumbersome to achieve any usable result. To summarize: Affinity does not support the PS style workflow of using masks combined with stacks. It provides a different workflows to achieve the same results by using clone tool after HDR stacking.
