Dimwhit Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Does Photo offer anything like Photoshop's Actions for repetitive tasks? Or can those be imported from PS? How about Automator actions or workflows? Quote
Staff MEB Posted July 11, 2015 Staff Posted July 11, 2015 Hi Dimwhit, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) There will be a Macro Persona for recording/playing actions (Affinity Photo actions, not Photoshop). rihardsr, mbrakes, mvichos and 1 other 4 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
Dimwhit Posted July 11, 2015 Author Posted July 11, 2015 Great! I'll look for that. It's the primary feature that has kept me from moving away from Photoshop. Quote
silvergelatin Posted July 11, 2015 Posted July 11, 2015 Holy crap, I can't believe I didn't notice that was missing! This is definitely one of my use-everyday PS features. I do all of my resizing for the web at different resolutions in PS using actions so I can control sharpening, color conversions, bit depth mode, etc. Yeah, this is a big one. Quote
Bearwood Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 Will Panels be available to be made for the Macro's as well. I am thinking of Tony Kypers Luminosity Mask panel... Quote
Mark Muse Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 I would like to add my voice requesting Actions. I have created several suites of actions for my use in Ps. I use them for everything and have become quite dependent upon them. I am afraid they are a must for me to switch for real work. Until then I will spend some time becoming acquainted with Affinity. I must congratulate you for your accomplishments so far. Impressive! I look forward to working with it. Josephmsc and Petar Petrenko 2 Quote
juliantz Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Hello MEB, do you know when the actions or macros will be ready in Affinity Photo? I would purchase it when that happens. Quote
Staff MEB Posted July 16, 2015 Staff Posted July 16, 2015 Hi juliantz, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) I don't know, sorry. There's already several features to fix/improve in Photo 1.3. It will depend on how development goes. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
Petar Petrenko Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 It would be very nice if you make an effort to allow PS actions to be imported, just for those ones who already own hundreds of them.

kwaku Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Is there any update on when the photoshop action feature will be released? That will definitely be the deal breaker! Quote
Staff MEB Posted August 25, 2015 Staff Posted August 25, 2015 Hi kwaku, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) No, not yet. It's not something trivial to implement. We are a small team here and there's already quite a few things being worked on, so it may take a little. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software
Pauline.Putt Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 keeping tab on this thread. it will be great if i can import / download all my PS/ PSE actions as well and use it with Affinity Photo. loving Affinity Photo so far! :wub: Quote
LoBu Posted December 15, 2015 Posted December 15, 2015 What's about actions in AP? When they are available? Version 1.5? Josephmsc 1 Quote
dhayton Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 While actions would be nice, I appreciate that they might not be easy to implement. What about a scripting dictionary, so I could write AppleScripts to accomplish a variety of common but time-consuming tasks? Quote
DavidMac Posted November 2, 2016 Posted November 2, 2016 I have posted this before but not in this forum so I am adding to this thread. I am well aware that macros are a work in progress so I shall presume that these remarks may be premature …. but …… It would be hard to make this palette less legible if you tried. It is almost impossible to see when the buttons are pressed or not and other text and icons are on the extreme edge of legibility as well. This really needs looking at. Coloured buttons following the well established universal code of Red/Record, Green/Play, Grey Stop/Pause perhaps? As you make the recorders abilities more sophisticated so will the complexity of the macros grow. A single step replay to help debug problems would be very helpful. And, on the subject of macros, can you please make them assignable to keyboard shortcuts? 3darkman 1 Quote
