Please provide more information on the Hubbell Pallet macro - link where to down load it
enjoyed this...I look forward to more on Affinity. Thank you
Thanks Mike. Glad it was of use. 👍
Great tutorial, it's not hard to understand. The macro is extremely useful feature and it reduce to many works to process :)
Thanks Sombat. Glad it was of use.
Yes, the new macros have really streamlined the processes for combining RGB and SHO images.
very nice tutorial. With these new features of Affinity Photo it becomes easy to develop your astrophotos as a beginner.
Thanks Ronald. Yes, it's pretty good for those people that don't want to use PixInsight. Affinity's stacking routine works well, as does the Selective Colour menu.
Cheers, Nik
great tutorial. i have both affinity and pixinsight and struggle with pixinsight. any link to the macro's used?
Hi David.
Thanks! Glad it was of use. You can download the macros from here:

PixInsight is great but it takes a lot of learning!

Great tutorial, it gave me a lot of information on how to process the data, especially useful were the macros, a great resource and makes the process so much simpler - I wasn't aware of these and am fairly new to Affinity but it seems to be very feature rich now for astrophotography. Thankyou for imparting your wisdom and experience, it is very much appreciated.
Thanks very much Neil. Really glad it was of use. The macros have transformed the ease of creating RGB and SHO images. It's great that a mainstream package like Affinity recognises FITS files. I suspect that most of the credit for this must go to James Ritson who is an Affinity employee and keen astrophotographer. I'm hoping that we'll see more astronomy-related tools included in future releases.
Thanks again for the positive feedback! 👍

Nik
Just one question Is it exactly the same process for LRGB or is it a different macro?
Hi Neil.
There are multiple macros available in the set, including RGB, SHO, LRGB, HOO, HSO. OSH and bi-colour combinations. The most useful macros will be the first three and they're pretty similar to use. James Ritson has written a PDF guide for each of the macros and this is downloaded with the macro set.
Cheers,
Nik
Thanks again, I have found the PDF and will give them a try.
Thanks Neil. Let me know how you get on! 👍
