James Ritson, the Affinity guru and AP enthusiast, has just released v9 of his astrophotography macros alongside a tutorial video on youtube and updated user guide. 

I've been using them since v7 with varied success but the video will help me use them properly now, rather than just trial and error. 

I'd be interested to hear if anyone else uses them, and any opinions or tips.

Conversly, if you don't know they exist, then check them out because they streamline and simplify the workflows, in the majority of cases non-destructively too. You can leave an optional donation if desired. 

You can find the macros here:

I have been using his Macros since version 7 as well and have imported the latest version 10 with bug fixes and added features.
His Macros are a game changer in my opinion

I 100% agree on being a game changer. I struggled a bit initially with just the user guide  but his YouTube tutorial was extremely helpful. It was bookmarked after about 2 minutes! 

If you learn any tips/tricks yourself using them, it may be worth sharing on this thread to help others use them better.
