Thanks for your answers. @MikeTO: This still sounds like a lot of work.

Hello, I am a book author an currently working on the second edition. The main file is an adobe indesign file. Some month ago I tried to import the file into Affinity Publisher. This worked fine, except the index. Is it now possible to import the index as well? Thx, Jens

Yes, now it works. Thanks.

Now I got it. I thought you show in this video how to make the shortcut. But you just show how to use it. Finally, I was able to reproduce the shortcut, now it works. Thanks Paul! Jens

This does not work for me. Nothing happens when using this Shortcut as described by DM1. By the way, this shortcut look completely different that the downloadable one posted above: „Open Shortcut input in Photo“ vs „Open file in Photo“.

No idea what you are doing there. Why do you check exif data?

Old thread, but the problem still exists. I cannot verify your explanation. All my imported files always have the file name „untitled“, no matter what I do. The export/save/save as procedure in Affinity has the urgent need for improvement, guys!

Unfortunately, when I export a developed RAW file to jpg by sharing it into my pictures on my iPad, the file does not have the file name I selected (Affinity.jpg), but an obviously random file name IMG_xxxx.jpg. The file name is only correct when I share it to my files and not to my pictures.

Hello, a great improvement, especially for the development persona, would be the way of fine tuning the controller position similar to the app RAW Power. Whenever you move your fingers or the pencil slightly below the controller, it moves much slower when you move to the left or right. In this way, you can adjust the position of the controller much more accurately. Jens

Problem still there with iOS 13.2.3. I am quite sure it is a Affinity Bug rather than a iOS related bug.

Same problem here with iPad pro 2018 10.5" with iOS 13.2. All file icons for the .aphoto files in the Affinity Photo folder are white. When I click on them, the preview is still empty (white). When I copy them to the icloud drive, the icon changes to the "Affinity Icon", still no "preview icon". But now I can click and preview the file.

Ignore my last message. Seems to work fine now. I had to rename the layer from "background" to "Hintergrund". :-) Thx to the dev team for solving this issue!

Bump. The final version of Affinity Photo 1.7 is the first one where I can see a very slight text when I use the above posted macro. However, we are still far away from the original look in versions 1.6.x. Is there any chance to get the old 1.6 macros working in 1.7 or should we start to re-work them with 1.7?

Just tried again. It works, but only with your pre-defined 98%. When I enter any other number directly into the field which pops up after starting the macro, nothing changes. It only works when I pull the slider with the mouse. But this is not accurate enough (I think the macro takes into account your calculated 98,431%, although only 98% is shown). However, your macro seems to be the perfect solution for me, if only I could change the 98% to different numbers, and I need it also for other colors. Could you explain the single steps to create this macro? Obviously, you did not do it via "Select/Select Sampled Color...".

Thanks carl123 for this valuable posting. I assume your other 2296 postings are of similar meaningfullness.

Thanks for sharing your idea. Unfortunately, this is not accurate enough. With a threshold of 94%, only pixels with a red value of 255 are selected. With 93%, pixels with red values >237 are selected.

Hello, is there any possibility to select pixels with specific RGB values in Affinity Photo? For example, in an picture from a fluorescence microscope, I would like to select all pixels with RED values >251. I already tried with mask followed by a brush with different red values, but this did not work. Unfortunateloy, with "Select/Color Range/Red" I cannot define the minimum red level of the selection. Seems to be a fixed value. Any idea? Regards, Jens

Obviously, macros from version 1.6 do not work with 1.7. Also discussed here: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/78232-problem-with-macro/ Unfortunately, no solution from the developers yet. It's a pity.

You made my day, DM1 from Down Under :-). It works perfectly with files from the OMD E-M1. The files from OMD E-M1X cannot be imported, even not with the very recent iOS update 12.2. I hope there will be a minor update soon which solves this issue. Cheers, Jens

Good point, thanks for that. I tried it with an ORF file from the brand new Olympus OMD E-M1X, which is not supported yet. Maybe that's the problem. I will try with another ORF file in the evening and let you know.

Unfortunately, this doesnt work for me. I have the following RAVPower device: https://www.amazon.de/RAVPower-kabelloser-Kartenleser-Zusatzakku-Festplatten/dp/B00VUGUPH6/ And I did not find an easy way to import my Olympus RAW (*.ORF) files from either an inserted SD card or a connected USB harddrive. Although there is the option to open an ORF file via the provided RAVPower "FileHUB" app with affinity, affinity crashes without an error message (it simply closes). Urgently waiting for a solution. iCloud is not an option since I am often on travel where I dont have an internet connection. Any ideas? Jens

Currently, this seems to be the only solution. I will try that.

That's exactly the way I do it. However, when I open >10 files in order to insert my copyright logo via a macro, it is not relly convenient to click >10 times file, export, etc etc. The saving procedure takes much longer than the real work on the files. The exporting procedure is currently an absolute no-go for me. Is there really no solution for that issue?

Exporting each single opened file is really cumbersome. I was searching for a solution for that, thinking that there must be one, and came accross this thread. Come on, developers/support/moderators. Is there really no option for exporting all opened files in a row with a few mouse klicks? What is the export persona good for? When I have several files opened and switch to the export persona in order to define the exact export parameters and switch then to the next file, I am I am bounced back into the another persona and have to repeat everything for the second file. Same is true for the next 23 files. "§$%&/()'#=(/*+&%$§%&/()=??

Ok, here is the whole package (brushes, macros, example pics [pre & post]). The macros only work correctly if the layer is named "Hintergrund". The macro called "Jens Hartmann Photography 1.7" works for landscape format, the "Jens Tangerine V.1.7 hochformat" for vertical format. The third one produces only the frame, without text. However, since Version 1.7., all 3 produce only the frame without any text. Thx for your help. Btw: Any idea how I can get the macro to work independently from the layer name? Affinity Macro Bug.zip
