Nice to see you support Affinity! Good to see competition for Adobe.

[@takebetterphotos8132]

Thanks!

Perfect technique! Thank you for sharing!

I like your presentation which is not too fast. As weay not know where to find the right icon to pick, others talked too fast becames unable to to follow. Here you are telling us what is coming, then we can look those up first, and as a result I can follow much better. Btw I can see that you are using images from Singapore, here is another supporter

[@takebetterphotos8132]

Thanks for your positive review always good to know something is done right :) Yes you are right first to point out correctly most images are from SG!

There is an option in Affinity to "stack" multiple photos with automatic alignement. I use it all the time as it saves time.

[@takebetterphotos8132]

Thanks for the tip. I should have used that!

[@WBBPhotography_Maine]

It doesn't always align them correctly, however. So, it is nice to be able to have a manual alignment option as well!

[@takebetterphotos8132]

@@WBBPhotography_Maine Yes, I guess since its just two images manual alignment is reasonable. Thanks for your feedback!

I found this tough to follow. Are these new features to Affinity 2.0? I didn't know you could apply masks in the RAW develop tool but I'm still using 1.x version of Affinity. Sounds like a whole new workflow.

[@takebetterphotos8132]

Yes the workflow in Affinity Photo 2.0 allows you to go back and forth from develop persona to photo persona without losing the RAW file format. A big reason to upgrade from Affinity 1.0 which, once clicking develop, didn't allow you to work with RAW.

Had you try to take AEB to make HDR? SNS-HDR is better to make HDR photos

[@takebetterphotos8132]

Hello yes I always use AEB to make HDR. SNS-HDR is great. I do own it! I haven't done a recent HDR test on which is the best HDR but I think SNS-HDR is one of them.

[@markotropoja1055]

U came to singapore?

[@takebetterphotos8132]

I have been there

[@Francesca48]

Good workflow here but I found you went a little to fast. Not sure I understood all points made.

[@takebetterphotos8132]

Thanks for the feedback. Which part was confusing?

[@Francesca48]

You rub over the screen and reduced the brightness..no idea what tool you used or how you did it.
In general the whole masking was done too quickly to really understand what you were doing…..even having watched it several times!

[@takebetterphotos8132]

@@Francesca48 Hi thanks for the feedback. I think what you were referring to was me brushing over the mask in white to reduce the brightness in certain spots. I'll be doing another similar video. Hopefully that will be clearer.
