Staff MEB Posted October 4, 2015 Staff Share Posted October 4, 2015 Hi AugustoDesigner, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Actions are not available yet in Affinity Photo. They are coming as a new persona (called Macro Persona) later.

Edyska Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 I was just about to ask the same question, any idea when this new persona will be available? Also does it alert us when it will be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted October 12, 2015 Staff Share Posted October 12, 2015 Hi Edyska, The Macro Persona may still take a while. Just keep the application updated (using the App Store app, Updates section) and you will receive all updates when they become available. We also announce new versions on the forums, social media etc. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augustrae Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 MEB, Any update on this? We are considering Affinity Photo as a Photoshop replacement, however, macros/actions are an important part of our workflow. Hi Edyska, The Macro Persona may still take a while.

Staff MEB Posted December 10, 2015 Staff Share Posted December 10, 2015 Hi Augustrae, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) No, not yet, sorry. The Affinity Photo's roadmap should be reviewed soon with updated info/features. Hopefully then this will become more clear.

nikhiljangala Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 MEB, By when can we start using actions in Photo? Also, can we import photoshop actions to photo? Thanks, Nikhil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted December 29, 2015 Staff Share Posted December 29, 2015 Hi nikhiljangala, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) I don't know what's the state of development of the Macro Persona at this point, so i can't tell when it will become available. I also don't have yet enough info to give a definite answer about Photoshop actions support. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted December 29, 2015 Staff Share Posted December 29, 2015 Hi RespŌk, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Currently I don't know. I will try to gather more information about this. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avgust Posted March 10, 2016 Share Posted March 10, 2016 I have almost completely migrated away from CS6. I still launch PS when I need to batch process images. Save me! +1 vote for Macro Persona ASAP. Oh, and Publisher. My heart wilts each time I need to work in InDesign. SMOK 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrea26 Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 PS user from 1992. PS uses actions about from 1995. Processing lots of pictures (catalogue, bridal, ecc) often require to apply certain operations to a quantity of images. Also opening of several raw files must be made in batch mode. I am tryng this application, that presents some interesting features, but without batch processing I cannot use it in my work.

Oval Posted June 17, 2016 Share Posted June 17, 2016 FYI: The Macro persona will not be included – but Macro support will be included in 1.5.. […] Save me! +1 vote for Macro Persona ASAP.

doeboy Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 NO plans for actions/macro persona. I have 100's of action/macros going to waste, having to take the long road to get things done. I'm thinking it just may be worth reinstalling PS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 19, 2016 Staff Share Posted June 19, 2016 Hi doeboy, Macros will be included in the next (version 1.5), although not as a new Persona (there will be a new panel) I don't think Photoshop actions will work on Affinity Photo (at least not all). There's no feature parity between the two applications so there's no way to execute them all in Affinity Photo.

SMooney Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 I just got Affinity 1.5 How do I find the actions Panel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 22, 2017 Staff Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hi scott, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) To apply actions go to menu View ▸ Studio ▸ Library. To create/record them go to menu View ▸ Studio ▸ Macro. I advise you to change your forum's username to something else to prevent spammers from getting your e-mail.

jken Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Hi MEB, I've been searching for a way to record an action for creating an HDR from multiple files. The only way I can see to start the macro is to open a blank base file at the same pixel dimensions as the required size 4823 x 3210. Once the files are selected through File/New HDR Merge the macro panel disappears, stopping the action being recorded. I have a batch of about 160 files i'd like to create HDRs from and don't fancy doing manually 160 times. Obviously, this would be done through the Batch Job menu, but how do I create the initial Macro? Regards john Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted March 19, 2019 Staff Share Posted March 19, 2019 Hi jken, I'm afraid this is not currently possible. As far as I know, there's no way to use/record the File ▸ New * commands (2nd section) with macros presently. We do intend to keep improving them as development progresses.

jken Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Cheers MEB, It would be a massive addition, I've used many programs to create HDRs but have to say the algorithms in Affinity Photo are so clean, the images have a unique crystal clear feel to them. Obviously, you'll only get that result from quality base images. These particular files are for a commercial vehicle client. Thanks, I'll keep updating and hopefully see it added soon.
