Mud's Macros V11 Library - 'Content Aware Move' added

[Paul Mudditt]

Here is a trivial macro in Affinity Photo that replicates exactly Content Aware Move from PS.

To use, create your selection and refine as necessary, select your image layer then run the Content Aware Move macro in my Mud's Macros V11.afmacros library. See demo.

The macro steps are simply, 

1. Rasterise current layer

2. Duplicate Selection

3. Select original layer

4. CMD/CTRL-X to cut out the background

5. Grow selection by 8 pixels

6. Content aware fill using EDIT->INPAINT command

7. Remove the marching ant selection

Demo of use on Mac and iPad versions after making a selection attached.

These macros were written on desktop for use on my favourite iPad Pro platform but will work on PC, Mac and iPad versions. Some of the macros will look a little odd to desktop users as they were my attempt to add some of the missing functionality from the desktop to the iPad version.  It is a “.afmacros”  library file so in desktop use view->studio->library and import into the library pane not the macro panel which is only for single “.afmacro” files.
