More in depth use of Sources, Stacks & De-ghosting

[lisarose66]

Hello & HNY!

 

I have been experimenting with the stacks, focus merge and HDR/Tonemap modules and I have some questions.

 

Stacking multiple images that may or may not line up perfectly and I like the stack blend methods and either Median or Average seem to give me the best blend but typically there are only two or three files to a stack. I would like to be able to use the de-ghosting tool from the HDR merge when using the stack module.

 

Is there a way to use the stack blend modes with the manual de-ghosting in the HDR module? I checked Live Alignment and added a Mask layer to each image but nothing seemed to show up. 

 

Using stacks is a very new thing for me as I only learned about it in an Affinity Photo tutorial video. Would greatly appreciate more information on using them. 

 

Thank you for your time! Have a great new year!

You could try using the Sources feature with Stacking to achieve a similar workflow. The following video should help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oyVub5LFns
