Can Affinity Photo make HDRs out of copies of a single photo that have been edited to be different exposures?

[MissEB47]

Hello,

Can Affinity Photo make HDRs out of copies of a single photo (as opposed to photos that were shot with real, in camera, exposure bracketing) that have been edited to be different exposures? I am not sure if I am experiencing a bug or not, because some programs simply can't do this. When I try it this way the resulting image ends up being very over exposed. It looks like this:

I tried changing the colour profile and using a couple different types of files (jpeg and tiffs) and nothing works. It does this to much darker images, too. The weird thing is, I was able to do this in Affinity Photo before. It worked fine! However, it was quite a while ago, so I can't remember if I did anything differently.  I must have done something right, though,  because that's how I made this: 

So, I'm a bit unsure if this is bug or not.

So you have one image that you export as an over exposed image, as a mid way exposed image and have an under exposed image.

 

So how are you making the pseudo-HDR?

 

Are you using File > New HDR Merge... option?

firstdefence -Yep, I'm trying to make a pseudo-HDR and I am using the New HDR Merge option.

It might if there was one! 

 

I have noticed that over the last several weeks an increasing number of staff replies are missing links -- not a lot of them but enough that I wonder if there is a glitch in the software somewhere.

Thanks Callum! Can you send the information again? Your link disappeared.
