Stepping through macros

[Paul Chiswick]

Does Affinity Photo (or Photo Persona in Publisher) allow you to step through a macro or interact with a step? Also, there appears to be no ability to include a Move action such as for masking.

Photo does not allow stepping through by default. However, if you click on the cog icon during the recording process, then you can change parameters for that step. This is only possible for certain actions. There was a video tutorial on how to do this but I now cannot find it. I can only find the basic macro tutorial from @James Ritson. Every time I start a new macro project I had to refer to this tutorial to remind me how to set parameters during recording.

Can you be more specific as to what you want to do?

Picture frame

Convert to curves

Horizonatal rectangle

Skew rectangle

Place picture in frame

Mask rectangle over picture

To achieve the effect below. You cannot do this by skewing a picture frame or image without the image skewing as well. You can achieve it by settting picture frame property to none snd  then dropping in the image. But the you cannot manipulate the mask.
