Macro recording - Selection from Layer


Recommended Posts

I was watching a video course on Lynda.com (Advanced Affinity Photo for Desktop) and the video for creating your own macros. The video shows recording a macro where the first step is to create a selection from a layer.  When I try that, I get Macro Recorder - Cannot record "Selection From Layer".

Am I missing some setting that I need to change to allow this or is it not available on the Windows version?  The course appears to be recorded on a Mac version of Affinity.

I think you mean CTRL+CLICK on the layer's thumbnail to create a selection not double click on the thumbnail. (The video may be wrong?)

To do this in a macro use the menu command

Select > Selection From Layer

once the layer is selected

To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.
