There are, however, some things that cannot be recorded as a macro. You can tell when the macro is recording because the Start recording button will be grayed out, and steps will begin appearing in the macro panel as you make edits.Īlmost everything can be recorded as a macro, including image adjustments, scaling your document or performing transformations, adding new layers, adding effects, and more.

Once this recording button is clicked, the Macro panel will continue recording edits you make to your photo until you click the “Stop recording” button. To start a new macro recording, click the red record icon (it’s labeled “Start recording” when you hover your mouse over it – green arrow in the image above). This will bring up a new panel to the right of your Tools Panel labeled “Macro” (outlined in green in the image above). Once your photo is inside Affinity Photo and the Photo Persona, open up the Macro panel by going to View>Studio>Macro (red arrow in the image above). Clicking the Develop button will open the image inside the Photo Persona. The Macro panel is not available in the Develop Persona.

Note: if you’re using a RAW photo, you’ll need to click the “Develop” button inside the Develop Persona. You can do that by going to File>Open, then searching for the photo you want to open on your computer.ĭouble-click on the photo you want to use (red arrow in the example image above), and it will open in Affinity Photo (or click the “Open” button – blue arrow in the image above).
