I tried to follow this discussion, but I need to highlight that I also see at first start a very slow Photo, but this is not via the App Store but from Affinity directly. I'm running Big Sur 11.1 and of course the version of latest Affinity Photo. The weird thing is that when I installed it for the first time, it was fast at startup, but now it's for the first time slow. Second restart of Photo is fast, very fast to be honest.

No no Walt, perhaps it was just me not reading well, but most important, issue solved!Yes! It works as I had in mind although it's a simple macro, it will save me later on when I fly and make all the screenshots a lot of work. Thank You for your assistance and help. Much appreciated!

Hi Walt, Thank you for your reply, but I don't think the other way around as you suggest works, unless I do something wrong or do the wrong steps as you suggested. As you can see in the movie, I can't change the colour. When I've selected another colour, it returns back to the previous colour and a macro popup tells me that it can't record the fill function. See attached movie. APhoto-test.mp4

Thanks for your replies. Ok, let me start to describe what I did. Load a screenshot Set the right colour I want Created a macro using the rectangular tool. Click the Start recording button I draw a square with the colour I've selected before. Resize the rectangular shape Click the Move Tool and move the rectangular to the bottom of the screenshot Then I stop de recording and save it as untitled (see attached macro file) I add the macro also to the Library Then I close the screenshot, result empty Photo with no document I reopen a screenshot and from the Library I start the macro and then the line is no longer coloured but white. I know, I do something wrong. I also know that I'm not very handy with Photo yet, so excuse me if I did miss a step or that I completely forgot to follow this or that step. I also hope this answer your question and hopefully you fill see what or which step I've forgotten to give the line a colour, besides white! Instead of screenshots I made a small movie which is a bit easier to understand what and how I did it and how I ran into problems. Untitled.afmacro Affinity-Photo-line.mp4

Hi all, I initially planned to call it a watermark, but actually it's just a simple "coloured" line that will be visible and created with a macro and later using it as a batch on a selected amount of photos. I can create the macro. Tested it and it works. Then I copied the macro to library, so so far all OK I thought. The line which is a part of the macro is amber/orange but the colour doesn't really matter right now and is situated at the bottom of a screenshot. After I saved the macro, I close the screenshot and start the batch. All of that works too, but when the batch is completed I have on the selected screenshots a line as expected BUT not amber/orange but white! And that's then also my problem.... it should be a coloured line and not white, but what do I do wrong? Thank you in advance for your time, reply and hopefully for me a solution. Kind regards, Angelique van Campen
