Export not available in Macros

[CekariYH]

How come one can't use Export in a macro.

It's one of the more tedious tasks to handle when saving hundreds or even thousands of images from a days work.

 

My workflow for RAWs in Photoshop:

 

Make adjustments of non straight shoots.

Fine-crop if necessary.

Fine-adjust contrast, levels etc if necessary.

Noice removal if necessary.

Sensor dust removal if necessary.

 

In (one) macro ( action ):

1. Save as PSD in a sub-directory to where the RAWs are. Created by the macro. 

2. Rezise to 2500px on the longest side.

3. Add a tiny sharpening ( smart sharpen)

4. Change the mode to 8 bit for jpg. 

5. Create a sub-directory for the jpg:s and save the jpg.  

6. Close the Image.

 

Load the next image and repeat.

 

Very tedious if one can't use a macro for the steps 1 to 6.

Hi CekariYH,

The Macros were just  introduced in version 1.5. Currently there's still a few actions that can't be recorded as you find out.

He hope to continue expanding/refining them with future updates.

Is it possible to use my actions from Photoshop (.atn files) into photos while using Affinity? If not now...in the near future?

Hi blah,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

No, it's not possible to import/use Photoshop actions in Affinity.

There's no feature parity between the two apps so it's unlikely you can use them in the near future.
