Want to record edits you make to a photo, then replay those edits on another photo for quicker photo editing? Well, thanks to Affinity Photo’s Macro feature, you can do exactly that! Macros are the Affinity Photo equivalent to Photoshop Actions - which performs the same function, allowing you to automate your image editing. In this tutorial, I’ll show you everything you need to know to create macros inside of Affinity Photo to speed up your workflow.

The Macro function is under Window if you're using Affinity Photo 2.

Thank you for the in-depth method of creating saving and editing macros. I have over a thousand images to do and you can imagine the time you have saved me so it was an easy like and sub.

[@RachelRamey]

This is a really clear and helpful tutorial; thank you. (And thank you for putting the reminder to like and subscribe partway through! I did need the reminder -- but it doesn't do any good when people put them at the very beginning before I know if I've found the content helpful.)

[@ProPhotoVector]

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for subscribing!

You're good ... and know your stuff. Thanks, Chuck ( from N.E. Florida ) : +)

Great video with excellent instructions. Do you do custom Macros?

[@davidwright8920]

Thanks for the detailed explanation of the Macro feature. You mention that there are some actions that the macro can not record, would one of them be the Rotate Left action for example. I would like to have a macro that would remove the need to select 'View' 'Rotate Left' action six times in order to rotate an image to the left by 90 deg. Thanks

Thanks for the video. Can we apply macro to a folder of images?

[@dougsaroma]

When using a resize setting in macro for cropped photos, can you just select either the vertical or horizontal pixel count and the other dimension automatically scales to keep the same aspect ratio per each image? That's what I'm missing from Photoshop CS that I need back for quickly editing down a bunch of pics for the web. I haven't tried Affinity Photo yet, but I think I'm going to.

[@MuhammadRiswan]

can i use macro for transforming which i can locate object exact location as i want ?

[@kennlw5]

Awesome👌🏾 can you do this on the iPad version?

[@ProPhotoVector]

I believe so - although I think you have to download the Macros feature for iPad separately.

[@TheEtbetween]

Can you animate painting ?

[@viewstar9681]

Who is better Photoshop or Affinity?plz answer dear*****

[@ProPhotoVector]

I prefer Affinity Photo - the pricing structure is way better if you’re simply editing photos.
