robert26 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Like Mr. Green, my two requirements are also: 1. Ability to record and use macros in Develop Persona. 2. Ability to Batch Process RAW files with above macros. Rene B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsweetje Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 Like before, @Serif: please: 1. Add the ability to record and use macros in Develop Persona. 2. Add the ability to Batch Process RAW files with above macros. It will really make a lot of people happy Rene B 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matthiasbasler Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 I'm just testing Version 2 of Affinity Photo. It took me only two evenings to desperately search for a faster way of developing multiple similar RAW photos. And I haven't even started trying to process hundreds of images from time lapses yet ... During the last years I have been developing photos with either Nikon software and or CameraRaw from Adobe Photoshop Elements(!) While the latter is lacking some adjustments it is really convenient in terms of developing multiple images at a time: DnD multiple images into the software. The images appear in a sidebar. You can select one, multiple or all and apply settings to the selection. This gives you full flexibility to have consistent settings and at the same time some variance for settings where this is needed. Afterwards you select all images and process them in one step. This is the way I wish AP would work as well. Alternatively Nikon Capture NX-D as a concept that can also help, but is not as flexible: You can copy the settings from a raw file and paste them on any number of other raw files. The problem with this approach is that this will override all settings (brightness, contrast, WB, colors, denoising, etc.), so you have to be sure to first set and copy all those settings that must be equal before starting to adjusting any photos individually.

matthiasbasler Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 And in addition I found that the presets seem not to work as intended either. I created presets for all kinds of settings in Affinity Photo 2.0.0. When I now open a new RAW file, AP shows these (last used) presets as active, but they are not. The sliders/settings are at default position. Switch the preset to "Standard" and nothing happens. Switch back to the preset and only then the settings are applied. This defeats the purpose of having "quick" presets and makes RAW development with AP slower than intended. I will create a bug report for this.

If they are not capable of fixing such a basic UI bug, how can we expect them to add batch raw development capability? I'm currently considering buying the new version to support the developers, but it's a hard decision when batch development is an essential feature for me yet there are no signs of it coming in the foreseeable future... 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This actually works this way in AP 2. You can "File -> Place" multiple images as layers, then select all layers, develop one in RAW and all the others have same settings. Then export them using the export persona. Amadeusz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
len96 Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 I too need the ability to run macros in Develop Persona Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then later you can run that macro from the Photo Persona or from File > New Batch Job. That gives much the same effect as being able to run them directly in the Develop Persona.

Sempervivum Posted September 9, 2023 Share Posted September 9, 2023 Again: One feature that's basic and urgently needed is missing. When reading other postings it seems to me that this is no problem in other software. Why in AP??? ☹️ Amadeusz 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
