DSS and Affinity issue with RAW files

[baggywrinkle]

I use Affinity on my PC and when I load any RAW files from my Canon cameras it strips off the file extension .cr2 or .cr3. This means that Deep Sky Stacker does not see them as RAW files and will not load them. I have looked at the help folder in Affinity and it does not help. 

 

Any ideas folks?

Why would you want to load them in DSS after loading in Affinity? Either stack in DSS or Affinity.

Affinity tsacking does not allow kappa clipping to get rid of walking trails

So use DSS then.

Hi, I've just seen this post, apologies for bumping the thread—are you referring to sigma clipping for outlier pixels, e.g. rejecting hot pixels, light trails, inconsistent response pixels? Affinity Photo does indeed do this, it's under the Stacking Options panel, you can set the Threshold and Clipping iterations:

Thanks,
