Excellent as usual,👏Thanks for this video and the macro! I knew tho other methods for the orton effect, this one is interessant.

So helpful! thank you

Thanks 👍😁good Job

please tell me what to open your downloads with/ Love your vids. cheers

In the video there are 22 steps in the macro. In the downloaded version there are only 11. I use AP 1.8.4. The file size 1800 bytes. Maybe I missed something along the way?

Very helpful video and thanks for the macro and the "how-to-use-it" demo. At 2:00 I didn't totally understand the purpose for checking Preserve Alpha in the Gaussian Blur Live Filter Palette. Your comment was the blur would not go all the way to the image edges otherwise. I realize blurs are gradient-like but what does Preserve Alpha do to change that? I think the name is bothering me. Isn't Alpha the image pixel bits? How does preserving them make the blur wider? Would appreciate a "head-thump" here. 🔨

Hi I have tried to follow you until now everything good until I want to apply the blur layer. When I look at your screen the blur layer is at the same level as the bottom layer. But me if click on the blur filter it goes a bit to the right and is grouped with the background layer. If I tick it to the left then the effect of the blurr on the background layer does not apply. My question is why when I follow your exact move my blur filter regroups to my backround layer and when I seperate them the blur effect stops working.Is something with my settings wrong? thank you I have been here for 3 hours trying all kind of trick but to no avail helpppp. lol

Macro shall have .afmacros in order to be loaded by the AP. The link goes to a .afmacro file that cannot be loaded

hi Scott. I just found your video for the Orton Effect but the download doesn't work in Affinity Photo V2. Will you be updating, or creating a new version for V2? Or should I create a macro from the video?

Something's wrong with the link......... is seem's the macro is downloading but the file size is only 2KB

How can I make two active selections in one photo using Pen tool in Affinity?

Am not able to import this Macro.. am I missing something!
