Understanding macros
If there are operations that you want to repeatedly perform in PhotoPlus, you can
apply a macro. Put simply, a macro is a saved sequence of commands that can
be stored and then recalled at a later date. Macros can be used for:
• Downsampling
• Reformatting
• Applying effects
• Applying adjustments
• Framing and vignetting
You'll notice an icon next to each
macro which, when clicked, displays the
commands that make up the macro (click to
collapse again). For example, a macro that
creates a wood frame would have a series of
recorded commands listed chronologically.
They may be enabled, disabled, reordered or
made interactive "on the fly".
PhotoPlus offers a wide range
of pre-recorded macros ready
for your use. These macros are
available in the Macros tab,
where they are separated into
various categories including
Black & White Photography,
Color, Commands, Vignettes,
Layout Blurs, and Frames to
name but a few.
