Photoshop actions conversion...


Recommended Posts

Hello. Tell me, for example, I have actions working in Photoshop  *.atn
Is it possible to somehow import them into the AfPhoto program? Or just an option - re-record step by step repeating the actions in the "old" action? Maybe there is some other way?
there are just actions that have been done for a long time .. and contain many operations ... and something has already been forgotten ... and I don’t remember, I think some nuances ...

Short answer is no, actions are not compatible with Affinity, you can try and replicate the steps  using the macro panel but Affinitys Macro facility isn’t as feature rich as adobes actions yet.

No, you cannot import Photoshop actions.

If you know what they do, you can re-record them as Photo macros. But that also presumes that Photo has an equivalent for each step of the action, and that Photo allows you to record it as part of a macro.

Many steps of a Photoshop action might not have an equivalent in Photo. And even if a step has an equivalent it might not be recordable in Photo.

Thanks. I get it. So we will remember and disassemble the old ones and re-write our actions)))

I can't help but wonder why there isn't a thriving market for Macros or actions specifically designed for Photo. When we can create our own library, it only makes sense to have a market dedicated to this as well.

Perhaps because Photo macros are extremely limited in function when compared to PS actions.
