Hi!
I am a brand-new user of Affinity Photo - but I got it to wean myself off Photoshop. There are two things I need the app to do - draw an arrow and support macros. (I'm the guy that has 10 red arrows pointing out key elements of a screen shot.. so these all need to look the same).
But my KEY question is macros. I need a macro that:
* Resets the DPI of an image from 144 to 72 (for posting to the web)
* Exports the file to a specific folder using specific JPEG settings
* Closes the original file without saving it.
From what I read, macros in Affinity Photo don't support automating the export function. Is this correct?
Thanks,
Larry

Thanks, v_kyr and Walt.Farrell!
Macros seem to be evolving technology. Arrows would always be added manually. Where I need the speed of a macro is in resetting the dpi, to compensate for retina Mac screen captures, then saving a PNG file as a JPEG with specific quality settings to a custom folder.
I'll see what future versions provide. I appreciate the time you spent answering my questions.
Thanks!
Larry
