Tony77 Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Greetings I downloaded and imported free macros from an Affinity astrophotography user but the macros disappear after affinity photo is closed. What can I do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Were they .afmacro files or .afmacros files?

walt.farrell Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Thanks. In that case you should find them in the Library panel. The panel will have several different categories available, and you should just need to select the proper category.

Tony77 Posted July 29, 2022 Author Share Posted July 29, 2022 Yes, however, when I close the program they disappear ... and only the macros that I recorded are my personal ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you see them in a particular directory while Photo is running but then they disappear from that directory when the applicant is shut down? What happens when you start up Affinity Photo again?

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How specifically did you import the .afmacros file? When initially they do show up in the Library panel what category name do they have? Can you post a screenshot of the Library panel so we can see what it looks like now?
