I was pretty excited to see this new feature so I gave it a spin. I had recently shot an undercarriage of a Corvette with about 7 individual shots. Rather wide focal length and a focus distance of about 4.5 feet. A friend with Photoshop CC could not get it to stitch and had to resort to manual merging. I tried PhotoStitcher (for Mac) and it barfed. Their tech support people asked for the files but could not do it. But Affinity Photo 1.4 did so in about half a minute. :) And it turned out very well! Thanks guys!
Panasonic Lumix S5 Advanced Exposure Setup
The LUMIX S5 is an incredible camera, with powerful tools that you may not realize existed. I'll show you how to use the waveform monitor, scopes, zebras and the spot meter in ways you've probably never considered!
Been playing with 1.4 and it is nice , especially that dehaze capability (amongst many others). Still not too sure with the RAW processing module though - Adobe Camera Raw (LR and PS) is much slicker, but that might be down to familiarity - not sure.
That said, Affinity Photo is superb given it is still early days yet. The price is amazing and it must be seen as a viable alternative to PS now.
