Thanks James. I shoot the moon quite a bit and this will really enhance my photography. I just tried it tonight with 18 photos and the results were amazing.
I redid some of my moon photos and your workflow dramatically improved them. I also tried using JPEG files and your method worked on them as well. Not as good as the TIF files, but still work well. Thanks for sharing.
Is the movement of the moon due to the handheld shooting multiple shots in a blast? Removing the fringe was excellent in both vids, btw. However, creating the color bleed masks for two layers at the same time was awesome! I cannot remember seeing that before. Could this be done for macro, or is the depth of field too narrow?
This is an excellent video, James! At the 5:32 mark, you mention clicking on the cog icon and adjusting the “Underlying Composition Ranges” graph. I use Affinity Photo 2 for iPad and do not see the cog icon or underlying composition ranges. If I click on the Clarity layer and then the 3 dots to go to the layer options, there are “Source” and a “Dest” graphs. Is the “Dest” graph the equivalent of the Underlying Composition Ranges graph in the cog menu in the desktop version?
Hi Paul, I pre-processed the TIFFs for better optical corrections and noise reduction. When you use RAW files in merge operations like Live Stack it uses a basic raw processing pipeline rather than the more advanced one in the Develop Persona, so you have no fine control over tones or corrections. It's just about maximising quality-hope that helps!
TIFF lets you pre-process the files: stacking RAWs directly in File>New Stack only applies a basic development for speed, whereas if you process via File>New Batch Job you get better demosaicing, noise reduction, lens corrections & more. Hope that helps!
It is fine... but can you assure me that this manual edition is better than a 1 second edition with AI? I use to spend a lot of time in edition... but «The Times They Are a-Changin'» ;-) ;-( difficult to mantain a learning curve if you can make it without effort

Your knowledge of Affinity Photo tools and understanding of how they adjust color and sharpening is amazing! You are the best!!
WOW, I've wondered how some people get the colour into their moon shots, now I know. Thank you so much James!
This is an awesome video! Never knew 1/2 of this was in Affinity pro. I'll def have to give it a try! Thanks 👍👍👍
Amazing. I wondered how folks got that sharp detail of the moon. Now to give it a spin to improve my Moon shots.
Thank you, James. Your videos on techniques are excellent!

How wonderful is this; thank you for producing.

Really nice, James! I wasn't too keen on the first one, but this one is really great! Thank you for posting this.
This is an incredibly helpful tutorial. You certainly know how to do it! Thanks.
Also, FANTASTIC James !! Thank you so much.
Thanks James, really helpful.
This is brilliant!
Excellent tutorial, thanks.
Thanks James sir
Plz make video on milky way editing( star minimization, noise reduction , stacking and foreground blending)
Another excellent tutorial, thank you.
wow, amazing
This is even better than the former one
Excellent video!
THANK YOU !!!
simply fantastic
Wait a minute .. dejavu!
Yes, the original needed a bit of revision!

Hi, yes, Dest is the graph you want 👍
Thank you very much, @@JamesRitson. I appreciate your quick response and all of your great tutorials.
Hah, perfect timing! 🎉
Did you use a mirror lens for the photos?
James my camera shoots and saves images as Fit files. Do i just batch process these as Tiffs or can i work always in Fits but follow your workflow?
what is tiff?
Can I ask why you stacked processed TIF files instead of the original RAW files, and in what way did you process them?

@@JamesRitson Thanks. Do you have a video on doing that and applying the settings to 40 images without having to do each separately?
FAB THANKS
With that voice, have you ever considered to be the new Rick Astley ?
Why Tiff? Why not raw?

I need a better moon
Excellent video!
