Affinity Photo (Version 1.5.2) - April 27, 2017
Hello,
We would like to build a Macro that includes different layers to build some sort of 3D image impressions including a separate background. Below you'll find the exact steps we've taken so far:
A. MACRO PROCESSING
1) Drag and drop a .jpg image into Affinity Photo
2) Activate Macro
3) Document --> Resize Document to 560px x 395px, Units: Pixels, DPI: 450, Resample: Bilinear, Resample activated/ticked --> Resize
4) Document --> Resize Canvas --> 640px x 640px, Units: Pixels, Anchor: Center --> Resize
5) Click on image with cursor/arrow --> Document --> Flatten
6) Transform --> S: -3 Degrees
7) C&P image, switch to last layer and Transform --> S: +3 Degrees
8) Move edited image (of last/lowest layer) accordingly and enter H-Value with a Delta of -20px
9) Effects --> Gradient Overlay
10) Layer --> New Layer --> Arrange --> Move to Back
11) Choose Flood Fill Tool --> Click into empty area --> Effects --> Gradient Overlay --> Type: Radial
12) Document --> Flatten
13) Stop Recording Macro
14) Add To Library --> Enter Macro name and hit OK --> Don't save the document
B. BATCH PROCESSING
1) File --> New Batch Job process and choose "Save as JPEG"
While the above steps (1 – 14) work perfectly fine when doing everything manually in Affinity Photo, it doesn't so when executed via Macro. To see the difference between Manual vs. Macro refer to the ZIP-Attachment below.
C. QUESTION
How can we build a Macro so that the final image looks EXACTLY like the one shown under manual conditions?
Thanks,
Pat
