HDR problems

[richard.betti]

Hi,

I am a new user of Affinity Foto on iMac 27.

I shot some pics to be treated with HDR (3 shots for one HDR +-2 stops). The first group of pics worked with Affinity was ok; for the second one the colors are fake. Can you please help me or give me some adivice? 

I attached the ok pic and the wrong shot taken only few seconds later.

Thanks a lot

Hi Richard,

Welcome to the forums.

 

We have a similar issue already logged with the developers. Can you provide a link (send via a PM if you wish) to your files so I can confirm.

Hi Lee

This is the the link with the 3 pict origin of my HDR.

Thanks.

Hi Richard,

I tried your files on the Windows version and got the same horrible result.

 

I have been experimenting comparing some HDR merges to merging using Stacks.

 

I have tried working with these files as a Stack. I opened the three images as a New Stack and then tried the Median method. This gave a good sky but the building was too dark. I did a Merge Visible and moved the layer to the bottom of the layer list. I then applied the Total method to the Stack which gave a blown out sky but a bright building. I merged visible again and moved the result above the median layer. I then created a mask so the sky became visible and applied a slight curve adjustment and added some clarity.
