This is cool! And you do not need to merge 2 or more pictures. It also works when you "merge" only 1 Picture. And you will get the workflow shown above. One more great feature! Thanks for the video!
I've been doing this for years with most of my photos. Got a GH5. Not a 'great' photo camera, has its limits that are not exactly 'industry standard'. But a few years ago it was the first to come out with dual image stabilization which motivated me to do handheld bracketing photography in mostly all scenarios I can use it in. It took awhile to get my photos to not look 'HDRie', but now they look 'one of a kind'. Like its my own style that nobody knows how to replicate. I love it.
I congratulate you for the new tutorials where the image of the person who is explaining does not appear, since this image distracts and covers part of the program's interface. Congratulations!
0:00 I just learnt how to preview images without opening them in preview which means I can flip through images faster, I love this feature on windows but I thought Mac did not have it.
You can also get the HDR look with a single image with out all the messing around just by using the Tone Mapping Persona. This can significantly increase the visable detail in an image. I find the "Detailed" version usually looks good as does the "Dramatic" if you bring down the tone compression and local contrast.
Not always-you can develop singular RAW images to 32-bit unbounded which would let you tone map them in a similar fashion, but you're beholden to the performance of the camera sensor especially if underexposing the shot. Tone mapping images in the standard 8-bit/16-bit integer format isn't really taking advantage of the linear colour space and unbounded pixel format that you would get when merging to a 32-bit HDR document. I'm guessing the increased detail you mention is because of the local contrast compression of mid-tone regions, which looks quite compelling and isn't matched anywhere else in the app (the Clarity filter comes close, but not quite). I do wish we could get more computational functionality in high end cameras, similar to how phones will automatically merge multiple exposures into a high dynamic range RAW file (which you can then process appropriately in post)-that would be incredibly useful!
Can you do this with multiple photos? For real estate in my example. I shoot 3 bracketed shots. So do I have to merge each photo individually or can it do stacks
is it possible to add an overlay, while in HDR persona, just to mask an area that I want to increase or decrease "local contrast"? if no, does Frequency Separation in the Develop Personna do the same thing?
I learn that some photographers are using luminosity masks, as an alternative to 'pure' HDR workflows, to integrate between 4 and 7 bracketed exposures for e.g. nightime cityscapes. Could you please explain how this might be achieved in AP please? Thanks.
Hi, do have a look at this tutorial on Luminosity Range Masks: ua-cam.com/video/1l__kqWHqqQ/v-deo.htmlsi=6LWvIKM8U1ucgzO3 You would use the same technique, applying these masks to your multiple image layers to blend through different tonal regions from each of them. Hope that helps!
Thanks, I have watched the video you suggested and got luminosity controlled results for each of three images bracketed by one stop. What's the best way to merge these three images please? e.g. Just change the opacity of each luminosity adjusted image in a 'normal' blended stack or is there a better way - different blend mode perhaps? Thanks. @@JamesRitson
Great video, thank you very much! One thing: I'm using Affinity Photo 2.0 and when I click on the panel options button (as shown at 03:19), the only options I see are "Close" and "Close Group". So I don't know how to create new categories or save my presets. Any help, please?

One of the Best Programs I have ever bought.
Great video. Right now I'm learning how to take bracketed exposures with a tripod using my sony nex 6. Your results look real nice!
Thank you, your tutorials are always very clear!

I found this most useful. Thank you for producing this.

Thanks for posting your comment. I paid attention to it, rewatched the video and learned something myself!

When I export, it doesn't seem to use the full range it's like a dark image
Bonjour, le sous-titrage en français ne marche pas. Pourriez-vous faire le nécessaire sur toute la session Affinity Photo. Merci
Is there any module or plugin needed for real estate photography ?
Can you do this with multiple photos? For real estate in my example. I shoot 3 bracketed shots. So do I have to merge each photo individually or can it do stacks
How do you open split view to compare before and after image??
is it possible to add an overlay, while in HDR persona, just to mask an area that I want to increase or decrease "local contrast"? if no, does Frequency Separation in the Develop Personna do the same thing?

Has HDR merge changed in V2?

This seems to be a bug in the Windows version. Have you raised it on the forums?
@@geofffoote1146 Thanks for the heads up! I haven't raised the issue anywhere else yet, but will look for the forums. Cheers!
Is it possible to install both Affinity Photo Versions 1 and 2 on the same computer?
Yes
Hello James
When I downloaded version 2 of affinity photo I lost all my assets
Now is it possible to get my content back
Thanks
Macros ?
