mdharrington Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 A little strange topic....but there is goes I am doing some ecommerce....and on the site receive shipping labels from an API that are 8.5x11 Half the page is merely instructions....so i created a few macros that will crop the image, resize it and assign it to a quadrant in a 4 label layout for printing. No problems there. I am making this as easy as possible for my wife (and myself) as she is not as computer savvy as me..... I was wondering if there is a way to open images via the macro (or even batch) and then execute the cropping resizing and moving in 1 click. Ideally you would run a script that would bring up a browser for multiple images and it would be done in 1 click. I couldn't work out how to incorporate the opening of the multiple images into a macro....is this possible, or am I restricted to opening each image and running the macro separately. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can open multiple images via batch processing and let the batch run/apply the macros to perform on those selected/setup images. See: Batch Processing with Macros Further AFAIK macros don't and can't record file operations like open, save, place ... on their own actually.

v_kyr Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 Just realized that in the recently updated APh 1.6.7 version I can at least record and replay "File -> Place..." operations in macros!
