~If workarounds didn't exist the world would fall apart  

Hi everybody,
I just found a trick with non recordable features. 
I wanted to create a macro that sets a group of adjustment layers and a fill layer with a gradient to emulate an adjustable neutral density gradient filter. But when I tried to record the macro, I realized that the gradient tool couldn't be recorded (the position of the fill layer was also difficult to set). I created this set without recording and copied the group. Then I recorded the macro with a simple clear selection and paste. 
I tried this macro several time and it always creates the whole gradient set, even if I copy something else, or close the app, or shut down the computer. I tried with several macros created with the same process and they seems to work fine for now and it helps a lot.
It is not very academic and I don't know if it's a correct way to bypass the limitations of the macro feature but maybe it is worth to have a look at it and see if there is issues with that method.
Regards
Fx

Hi jhazel0705,
Currently macros are not yet able to record all possible actions you can perform with the program. More improvements will come as development moves forward.

Because the Macro facility in Photo is rudimentary, hopefully it will get better.

So I made this video for my weekly blog....and I thought you guys might get  some value out of the downloadable template...I attached it here .....and the tutorial that actually shows you how to make it.

Hey guys......so I was working on my new course...and got the the lesson on making brushes.....sooooo I had to amek some brushes. 
 
I made a set of fog/ smoke brushes in raster and a set of silky smooth stroke brushes for your vector applications. 
 
I have learned so much from the people on the site....I wanted to give back, so here ya go . I am working on new blog post and some new art using them....so I will keep you in the loop 
 
Feedback on them is always appreciated, I love making these sorts of tools

Specially that the smoke / fog brush does not have a hard edge that one could see!
Nice work!!!!!

Awesome brushes. Thanks for sharing :-)
