chris87toph Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 I did a photo session with dirt on the sensor and hence I'd like to remove the spot on a batch of photos using a macro. 1. I started recording the macro 2. I selected the Inpainting Brush Tool 3. I used the Inpaitning Brush Tool to remove the spot 4. I stopped recording the macro When I started the batch with this macro it didn't remove the sport on any of the photos. I then opened a photo manually and applied the macro - it did not change anything. I have the impression that the Inpainting Brush is not working in macros. But I recall I did it several months ago on my Mac and it worked. I am now using the latest version (1.8.5.703) of Affinity Photo on a windows PC. Or am I doing something wrong. Attached I am sending the photo and the macro for reproduction. The spot is in the upper right corner.

Staff Chris B Posted October 20, 2020 Staff Share Posted October 20, 2020 Hey chris87toph, Welcome to the Affinity Forums. I have just checked this and can confirm it does not work for me either. It looks like this bug was found last year so I'll go and update the report with your thread. I'm not sure when this may have gone wrong as I'm sure it used to work at some point as well.

GailToo Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 This has been resolved. The problem was the opacity was set too low. The inpainting brush tool isn't working correctly for me either. It removes only a very light amount of the black text I'm trying to remove. I've used the inpainting brush tool many times in the past to remove black text, but since the latest update I'm unable to. I use it often and hope this can be fixed soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi GailToo, Yes that is often what makes users believe the tool is broken.

Thanks for updating your post I am having the same issue with the same 1.8.5.703 software version, I just recently shot a time lapse of 850 shots, and I found out the hard way that I had quite a dirty sensor, so I am trying to clean the dust off using the inpainting brush. I have found that the inpainting brush macro I created wont function at all, my Opacity is 100% Flow 100% and Hardness 100% and nothing happens at all when I hit the macro, but if I create a macro and use the healing, patch or blemish tool, it works but does not give the perfect desired effect I am looking for and is still showing up in the time lapse.

Staff Chris B Posted November 2, 2020 Staff Share Posted November 2, 2020 This was logged against build 1.7 however, we only go as far back as 1.6.5:https://store.serif.com/en-gb/update/windows/photo/1/ You could try removing your existing version and install 1.6.5 for this job but I'm not 100% when this broke. I've bumped the bug report with your feedback.

carl123 Posted November 2, 2020 Share Posted November 2, 2020 @Arthur Crowley The Edit > Inpaint command still works in a macro, so try... Set macro to record Use circular selection marquee tool to select "sensor dust" (Set selection marquee to Add mode to select all the "sensor dust" spots) Once all sensor dust spots are selected then do a single Edit > Inpaint command Stop recording macro & save it to library Chris B 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.
