Hello Affinity Photo Experts,

I have a question about the macro that was recorded. I have made a template to print 4 passport photos. Open the template and copy the passport photo and paste it into the template and put it in the right places. That works fine. Now I want to use another passport photo, the actions go well until I start the macro. What happens, when I start the macro it puts the photo in the right place and the other 3 photos are the photos with which I made the macro.

The question is,

what do I have to do to get the old photo out of the macro? I must have forgotten to do something in the macro recording.

Please advice.

That is, unfortunately,  the way that macros work in Affinity Photo. If you paste something while recording the macro, whatever you pasted is what will be pasted when you run the macro later. It does not adjust to the current contents of the clipboard.

Walt. Farrell,

Bedankt voor uw antwoord. Dus ik heb niets aan de macro en zal het handmatig moeten doen. Erg jammer van de macro het  werkt perfect.

Rather than using copy & paste you can sometimes get around the issues with that by using Layer > Duplicate

It all depends on what exactly you want the macro to do

Carl123,

Bedankt voor uw idee. Dat ga ik proberen, alleen niet nu. Het is de bedoeling dat ik een pasfoto heb, deze op 4 plaatsen zet op een 10x15cm vel.

Goedemorgen Carl123,

Het is mij niet gelukt, geen probleem hoor, doe het nu handmatig.

Fijne dag, Wim
