HDR software-multiple exposure photo enhancement?

[surfnsfari]

I was reading about HDR software where you take multiple exposures and then uses  software that enhances the photo.  Particularly great at landscape photography.  Questions: Does Affinity have that capability and if not is it compatible with other software that does that?

Hello surfnsfari,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Currently no, but HDR Photo merge is already on Photo's roadmap to be implemented in a future version.

Actually you don't even need to have several photos to make an hdr image, one can be also enough.
But what I agree about is that kind of editing is perfect for landscapes. Here is a nice article saying that does the trick when the light is poor or with contrast of light and shadows https://aurorahdr.com/what-is-high-dynamic-range. However, I wouldn't recommend it for moving objects as due to merging images the result will be blurry.

Hi Dorene George,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

This is and old (and outdated) thread. Affinity Photo is already able to perform HDR Photo merge as well as work with single images/layers to get a tone mapped look (using the Tone Mapping Persona).
