Appels Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 I have started to play around with macros and wanted to create a macro that mimics and ND filter. I.e. add a new Fill Layer, and then add a Gradient fill. But I get an error message saying that the Macro Recorder cannot record this. Maybe I am missing something (I hope so!) Any ideas / help very welcome. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carl123 Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 The macro function is new there is a lot of stuff it cant do as yet Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

Appels Posted January 21, 2017 Author Share Posted January 21, 2017 Well, let's hope they enable this in the next release then. Do you have any good shortcuts / workarounds for this? I find it quite annoying that there are so many clicks/steps to create a gradient filter with 100% transparent 50% grey at one end and 100% black at the other, with blend mode soft light.

HVDB Photography Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 While waiting for ... I made my own ND-gradients Method 1. Create the ND-gradient File > New - with transparent background - resolution as needed - apply an ND-gradient black or gray to transparent as needed. - save as PNG-file 2. Import via macro recording File > Place - the PNG-file on top of the current image - change the blend mode to "soft light" or whatever is suitable Quote Affinity Photo 2.3.1 Laptop MSI Prestige PS42 Windows 11 Home 23H2 (Build 22631.3007) - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8565U CPU @ 1.80GHz 2.00 GHz - RAM 16,0 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
