Carlos2021 Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Hi, Is there a process similar to the action tool in photoshop, where you can record various steps when editing a photo and save them for future use please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Bruce Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 They are called Macros in Affinity Photo (and only Photo, not Designer nor Publisher. Don't have them or anything similar). You can record some functions and then you can either save to a library of Macros to run again or just use it in the open document for that session.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 In Affinity Photo you can record macros, these are not as comprehensive as actions are in Adobe Photoshop.

walt.farrell Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 In Photo, you want Macros. Help: https://affinity.help/photo/English.lproj/pages/Macros_Batch/macros.html There are also tutorials, I'm sure. Note that the function is not as powerful as PS actions.

They are also available in the Photo Persona of Publisher, which allows some interesting interactions.

Good luck, if you've been used to PS actions then you probably will be somehow disappointed by APh's macro facility, which doesn't offer all the dynamic capabilities ATN actions offer.
