Affinity Photo now does astrophotography stacking

[andyrawlins]

I am a relatively new Affinity Photo user (can't afford Photoshop!) and am very impressed with their dedicated astrophotography enhancements to the new version 1.9 that has just come out.  They now support stacking plus a lot of the tools I've seen used in Photoshop - star reduction etc.  A 20min video walking through the workflow is on this page  .  I hope that they continue to specifically support astrophotography and maybe they will even become leaders.  Now if only it would stop raining...

forgot to say, they have a 50% off sale at the moment.  I got it a few months back in a 30% off sale but its very good value even outside a sale.

There is now an astro background (gradient removal?) tool in the v 1.9 Filters drop down but so far I haven’t found any instructions on how to use it. Thanks for the video link, I’ll see if it’s in there.

There is another thread on this topic that has info on tutorials etc..
