Rosette Core In H-alpha Processed Solely With Affinity Photo 1.9

Another test of stacking and processing data with Affinity Photo 1.9.

Overall it worked well. I am not that familiar with Affinity so the results are probably not as good as the program and data would allow. The contrast is a bit more stark than I would usually like and my lack of experience with masks in Affinity meant I didn't protect areas as well as I would like but these are due to my inexperience and not a failure of the software. I would say based on my usage of PS for post-processing for 15+ years that Affinity has all of the functions I ever used in PS and some more cool ones I'm learning about.

Overall very promising for someone who just wants to stack simple data sets and work in 32 bit space. I doubt I'll stop using Pixinsight for my bigger projects but for a quick look at data it was very easy and quick to use. I will definitely switch over from PS for my post-processing.

I imagine if someone is much more sophisticated in their use of PS than I am that there are areas Affinity doesn't do things the same or perhaps as well as PS but for most of us it is a capable alternative.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
