Just a question of experience and mistakes which I know from my own post-processing.Helix_2648 has super power and see everything on stacking pictures lol

Helix_2648 great tutorials for Dodge & Burn an masking. I don't know if I can replicate them exactly with Affinity but they gave me a good idea how to approach it.The dodge and burn tool seems to be the same in my software and seems to work similar as my approach of painting a grayscale mask, I'll try if out. For masking I found an option to set luminance blend ranges via a curve. That will probably allow me to select different luminance and also apply shadows and highlights as gradients.
I'll try when I have time.
Thanks.
Did an overhaul with the tips from
Helix_2648. New stack from the ground up, because I realized I exported 8bit Tifs instead of 16bit. 16bit improved the out of the box stacking results.
Added some slight Dodge&Burn in the petals using Luminosity blend ranges and turned the background even darker. This version has a little more violet petals.

Much better
Baenki! Glad that you were able to implement my tips in your post-processing! It looks much more natural and plastic. It's really poping and looks fantastic. I darken sometimes parts of the stem or the petals to create a more mystic ambience. Like a spot from beside to work a but with light and shadow.
