Layer Stacking/Merging/Aligning

[TheFloppyToast]

The Stacking option under File->New Stack etc. is great, what I really wish for though, would be the option to do this with already loaded layers and also the stacking tool taking any masking into account. This is vital when stacking milkyway images, since it usually aligns to the foreground and not to the stars, which can be compensated for when you mask out the foreground.

and please add file->new panorama, new focus stack and new hdr from already loaded images or layers

Having this Option would make it much easier to use stacking features from Lightroom

Or from any software. In capture one, my current workflow for pano or luminosity blend is to export them as tiff and then stack them from the new document option. Which is a bit annoying
