Images look great! How are you liking affinity photo for the focus merge? I am seeing occasional halos after stacking ,depending on the background. Curious if you've seen the issue? Tyl

I’m happy with Affinity for a variety of focus merging functions, including panoramas. I noticed halo issues occurred with a wide aperture. When I stopped down to f/6.3 to f/8, the halos disappeared. I also used a fairly bright LED light bank to render the background much darker.
