With version 1.5, Affinity Photo began supporting macros to help photographers improve their workflow and automate steps that you do over and over again.
Macros in Affinity Photo is the same as Actions in Photoshop. You can record a series of actions and play them back on any image you like to apply the same steps or effects to this image.
Enabling the Macro and Library Panel in Affinity Photo
By default, the macro features are disabled in your Affinity Photo workspace. To enable the panels just go to View > Studio > Macro. This will display the macro recorder.
Next, go to View > Studio > Library to display the macro library. The macro library panel is where all your saved and imported macros are shown.
Once enabled, the panels will appear on the left side of the screen. However, you can rearrange them as you like.
