Hi,
The beta just rolled out, and I started testing it.
Now I’ve got some questions and remarks, all about the macro functionality.
a) Is there an ability to change the sequence of the steps?
b ) Is there an ability to remove a single step?
c) Is there an ability to add a step in between two others?
d) Does it render all steps 1st and let’s me then change parameters for the interactive steps?
d1) My macro: I duplicate my layer, do an interactive Gaussian Blur step, then mask it fully transparent to brush it in after finishing the macro.
Now I can’t see the blur I apply, because it is already fully transparent.
d2) I have a few steps, then a 1st interactive step, a few steps again, a 2nd interactive step.
When I run the macro, one pop-up window appears, with both interactions. But what if I prefer to do it step by step, seeing the 1st change 1st?
(Like for Skin Retouching using Frequency Separation and Gaussian Blur.)
e) It seems I can check each step on/off. But it always does all.
f) The macro doesn’t record a change in layer visibility without selecting the layer first.
g) While recording, I cannot select a mask layer directly. I have to select the parent first, then the mask in a 2nd step.
h) Is there an ability to change the layer name recorded in the macro?
i) While recording, I cannot set a mask layer name.
This beta is a great step ahead.
My biggest wish:
Please add a sequential macro execution option or add an optional 'wait' for each interactive action! (See d).)
Regards,
Bernd
