Can Affinity Photo handle ATN files/plug-ins? If so, where and how do you load them?

 

Off-topic: I'm greatly impressed where this whole Affinity project is going. It may well become the new standard in a couple of years.

Hi Bobaffinity,

Welcome to Affinity Forums.

No, Affinity is not able to handle atn files.

I'm not sure we will be able to translate/import Photoshop actions into Affinity (macros) but it's to soon enter in details.

The Macro Persona is still being built.

These days there are a number of Photoshop Actions that produce more exciting things than full-blown plug-ins.
I wish too Affinity Photo could use tham but it is very understandable if that is not possible...
However, there could be Affinity Photo's own macro editor?

I am sure free macros, brushes, gradients etc. will start to populate the internet as AP becomes well known.

That would be a real shame as I use actions quite alot in my Photoshop sessions. Not including the use of actions would probably hold me back from abandoning Photoshop in favor of Affinity Photo.

I too would like to run my Photoshop Actions in newly purchased Affinity Photo.

This is one of the last things holding me back from dumping Adobe.

Agreed. I use actions a lot too. Also, those actions panels like TK actions and Raya Pro are fantastic actions attached to Photoshop as action panels. I believe there are numbers of professional landscape photographers are using this action panel, they will also hold back from abandoning Photoshop in favor of Affinity Photo.

The first MAS version of AP is an excellent editing application and there is the promise of more to come.  However, it is NOT (and is not intended to be) a cheap clone of Photoshop.  If there are things in the PS world that are not present in AP (or flagged in the AP road map as "to come") then don't worry, be happy, and stick with what you know works for you.

Now that the Macro Persona is built within Affinity Photo, is there a way to import ATN actions from Photoshop as macros to AF?

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

No, there is no way to do that. The two products are too different in how they work, and also PhotoShop actions can do many things that Affinity macros cannot do at all.

Thank you for your response walt.farrell!

What format does Affinity Photo use for its macros?

And what format, if any, does a Photoshop action need to be in to import into Affinity Photo, if it could be modified and imported? Or am I asking for the impossible here?

The format used by Serif for any of the Affinity files is not documented. There is no possibility to convert a Photoshop action file into a form that Affinity Photo will accept.
