"Save as" macro


Recommended Posts

As a fairly new user, editing is a trial and error, iterative process.  For example, I might start with exposure, contrast, and saturation but don't immediately know how much for each one.  Once I get the desired result it would be nice to save the final changes as a macro.  Is there a way to do that?  If not, is it on  a list for a future release?

Are you working with RAW files, in the Develop Persona, or with already developed files such as JPG, TIFF, or PNG in the Photo Persona?

This would be for RAW.  I shoot both but rarely use the RAW because JPEG is fine.  But if I want to use RAW more often I need a way to apply a basic set of changes -- just like I set my camera to do.  For example, slightly increased saturation and contrast for landscapes.  But the same concept of saving a set of edits as a macro should still be technically possible.  The changes per layer and order of the layers should be convertible into a macro.

Thanks, @Ken Nelson.

With V2, this technique looks promising:
