jasons772 Posted January 12, 2017 Share Posted January 12, 2017 There needs to be a way to export the history of changes into a Macro for use against other pics. It would be a HUGE time-saver to be able to grab the history of all applied edits, save to a Macro, and then re-apply those same "final" changes as a batch job to other pics. Example - I have 20 pics that were all taken at the same time (similar lighting, etc), so they need the same basic treatment at least to begin with. After I'm satisfied with the edits I make to picture #1, I can save, and batch run the other 19. I get that I may be able to do some of this by just running a Macro at the beginning of my editing session, but that's clunky and also through testing doesn't quite allow me to do some things (such as set layer visibility as I work through changes, retain the "before" setting as in an Exposure change, etc). brunzenstein, light, cadobir and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, please. :) jasons772 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Werner Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 This is actually a really smart idea. Later when scripting is added, it would also be nice to have a corresponding "copy history steps as script" command. davemac2015 1 Quote www.peterwerner.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LilleG Posted March 4, 2017 Share Posted March 4, 2017 Oh yes! It would allow you to easily...repeat, easily...create a macro from any set of actions, including the ones that are now impossible because a macro won't allow user input.

light Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Great idea! If we have the ability to export the history as macro, please add the option to automatically import the macro file if it has the same name as the image file (ie. like a sidecar).

blackest Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Yes, just what I was looking to do. I hope it can be implemented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
