Auto Float and Magnification of multiple panes/photos

[JohnDP]

Brand new and don't have a clue, was trying to put on the Questions Group but could not get a heading highlighted and all greyed out, don't know if I'm in the right forum?  I like to load up final say 4 or six photos for comparisons on quality etc, but at the moment I do it manually by floating all and then repositioning them side by side and vertical.  But very laborious sizing the panes and having to magnify each one.  Have looked on Google and the lessons plus this site and cannot find any way of doing this simpler so I can size them all automatically and keep changing them automatically as a group.  Could anybody assist or point me to a tutorial, would be most helpful.  I thought this would be a standard thing and very useful or am I being a bit 'thick' or missing something?  I am sure I've seen other photographers on YouTube doing it when they are demonstrating something.  Photo V2 Windows.  Hope I've explained it well?  Really grateful for any advice!

And, to answer your question: No, there's no simple way to do this in Affinity Photo. It's a manual process, as you've found, of floating and rearranging them to your liking. This isn't really the kind of function Photo is designed to handle. It's more of a single image at a time processor.
