Jyotirmay Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 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 IMG_5391.CR3 IMG_5392.CR3 IMG_5393.CR3 IMG_5394.CR3 Quote
Old Bruce Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 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. Jyotirmay 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
Jyotirmay Posted March 24, 2023 Author Posted March 24, 2023 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. Quote
David in Яuislip Posted March 24, 2023 Posted March 24, 2023 File/New Stack Ungroup the stack should get you there. Personally I would develop the files, save as tiffs and stack those Sheesh, beaten again, what Old Bruce said Jyotirmay 1 Quote Microsoft Windows 11 Home, Intel i7-1360P 2.20 GHz, 32 GB RAM, 1TB SSD, Intel Iris Xe Affinity Photo - 24/05/20, Affinity Publisher - 06/12/20, KTM Superduke - 27/09/10

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.
