I'm a Mac user, but I don't use the Apple store (I don't even have an iCloud account). I'd really love to buy your software without creating an account with a third party service. Is there any way to purchase a Mac license directly from you? (I've actually put off buying Affinity products in the past because I'd prefer to not create an Apple account)

Hello, Since you claim that "macros are still a rough cut" and that we better wait for AP 1.6 to be released (see your comment as follows)... https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/39329-macros-with-different-3d-layers-and-background-features/?p=197069 ......how long will your "evolution" take to get the macro bugs resolved? Are we talking about weeks, months or years? Don’t be vague but precise. Again: This is your current macro bug as discussed in details/step by step as follows: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/39329-macros-with-different-3d-layers-and-background-features/?hl=%2Bmacros+%2Bwith Thanks, Pat

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 Macro.zip
