Hi,

I was doing a product photography of a beer bottle. All files are RAW. Now i need open all these files as a layer and arrange them one above another as these have different angle of lighting. I need to combine all of them. In photoshop i can open them from lightroom as a layer. But not sure how to do in affinity.

Can anyone help me on this?

Regards,

JDC

You could try a New Stack... from the File menu. You can just select all the files/layers and drag them out of the Stack.

Be aware that the raw files are going to be Developed with the default settings as set by the Develop assistant. Better you should develop the files and export as TIFFs before you do a Stack if the raw files are too Dark/Light/flat etc.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Thanks Bruce. I did try this. Seems to be working. I need to add layer mask as well to highlight specific areas. As you mentioned, will also try to develop the raw file 1st and then going for New Stack.

File/New Stack
Ungroup the stack
should get you there. Personally I would develop the files, save as tiffs and stack those

I think they will be Developed by New Stack without using the Develop Assistant settings. As far as I know there are still very few functions in Photo that use the Develop Assistant settings. Open and New Batch Job, and (I think) Astrophotography Stack may be the only three.
