In this video series, I'll be demonstrating all of the features of, and how to use, Affinity Photo.
In this episode, I give a detailed demonstration of how to merge bracketed images, into a 32-bit, unbounded HDR image.
I will be selling the RAW files I use in this series for a nominal fee -- check back -- I hope to have them available soon.

Hello, I'm from Belgium so my English isn't very good but I want to thank you because I've learned many things about Affinity with your videos. I hope it's not finished :-) !

[@ryans_life]

Amazing and fun tutorial. Took a bunch of test shots and followed along. Pleased with the results. Loved the series Anthony. Thank you

[@r.v.niddrie9111]

Wow. What a great tutorial. I have Photomatix and Aurora. Also have used Lightrooms HDR feature. Can’t wait to do some HDR in Affinity. Many thanks again Anthony!!!

[@JakeBucknam]

Fantastic tutorial! The part that bothered me initially was the stain glass window on the left was originally over exposed. When you dropped the exposure down manually it really brought out more details and looked more natural. Easy to follow tutorial and great information. Cheers!

[@oneworldwoman]

Thank you so much for this series of videos. I watched them all and learned a lot. Much appreciated.

[@RangerRickTV]

This tutorial might make me buy affinity. Thank you big dog 💪

[@g-r-a-e-m-e-]

Thanks for the tutorial. I think HDR has to be strictly limited, there was a craze for it, and many terrible photos were published, driving many people away from it. But having said that, in a place like a church, it certainly has a role. I appreciate your work!

[@colinb8512]

A really good video series for those who are new to Affinity Photo. Thanks Anthony :-)

[@MrTanker10a]

EXCELLENT! 🤠 Thank you!

[@manuelferreira1279]

Mr. Morganti Thanks for all the videos of Affinity Photo :) Please make other videos of Affinity Photo :)

[@terrydanks]

Very clear and useful. Thank-you!

[@666koren]

Well done..Thank You

[@Extrusor_3D]

Thanks for a great series of video, helped me a bunch. I'm curious, what screen recorder do you use? I like it a lot, makes it very easy to follow along.

[@TomasLoewy]

hi anthony... very helpful tutorail. thank you for it... do you know if Affinity now (in August 2019) can read the newer canon RAW file format CR3 (from an EOS R)?

[@Eigil_Skovgaard]

It seems to me that Affinity Photo developers limit the software in strange areas where it would be obvious and easy to include an option. In this case - and known from Photoshop - it would be nice to be able to include images already loaded. Now - if you have just finished and saved the final corrections before the merge, you have to get the images once more from the store. "Get loaded images" should be an option in Affinity Photo too.

[@chuckbame4718]

Excellent tutorial! Thanks!

[@danielmiller1826]

If I am not happy with the auto align is there a way to tweak it manually?

[@nikonrulz]

This is an excellent tutorial, thank you.

[@davejsullivan]

Pretty crazy stuff for an inexpensive program.

[@hankfoto]

What is the maximum photos one can use in HDR or in focus merge?

[@davegrenier1160]

"Automatically remove ghosts" If you're photographing in a cemetery, battlefield, church, or other potentially haunted place, you can use this to remove ghosts. But if you don't mind capturing a ghost in your images, leave this unchecked.

[@cmtecaiopelomundo2661]

There is no "new HDR"under my file menu, only new stack or new panorama ! where should it be ? Affinity version 1.4.1

[@gregorychard]

G'day Antony This is the first (of many,I'm sure) lessons of your that I have seen. Brilliant is one of the ways in which I could describe it. One question, that I have, which might sounds stupid to many of you, but I'm new to affinity. Instead of exposure bracketing, could you use depth of field? Havagoodone Greg

[@danilotavares77]

Hi, Greg. Do you mean focus stacking? If yes, Affinity Photo can handle it too.

[@denniscrabtree2170]

Can this be done with a dual core i7 with 16GB ram?

[@ju2705s]

Great Video, thx a lot!

[@morgancalvi6675]

Let's say this was 32 bit...but you exported it to a 64 bit HDR program...would the 32 bit photo be able to be manipulated in a 64 bit program? I know in Photoshop there is a way to straighten arches out...is there a way with Affinity...OHH...in the photo persona part...not the HDR persona...ok...just thought of that.

[@williamstatt8651]

What does it mean when a file is "unbounded"? Thank you.

[@mgunslinger17]

Mine crashes every time I try this. I have tried it on two different Macbooks, and with different photos. I'm using Panasonic .RW2 files. Has anyone encountered this? Did you find a solution?

[@mihaimihai7505]

Export as Biliniar..is the best for you?!

[@brobra3280]

Ok now what? Is that as far as HDR merge can go? My windows are still overexposed.

[@mihaimihai7505]

HDR Merge in Affinity is very slow. Have no batch process. For 1 image/day edit may be good...

the pews are way to orange and unnatural. and the church is to bright
