In this tutorial, Telescope Live tutor James Ritson provides a step-by-step guide on stacking and editing one-shot colour (OSC) astrophotography data in Affinity Photo. He covers essential techniques for creating a clean and vibrant image, including:
Setting Up the Stack:
- Learn how to add light, dark, bias, and flat frames to Affinity Photo’s astrophotography stacking workspace, and configure settings like Sigma Clipping to remove artifacts.
Post-Stacking Adjustments:
- Discover how to apply levels and curves adjustments, manage brightness and contrast, and use blend ranges to control highlight details.
Colour Correction and Structural Enhancements:
- Use Affinity Photo’s astrophotography-specific tools to remove background colour casts, enhance clarity, and adjust HSL for targeted colour improvements.
