Hi Garry As mentioned in my original post, this problem occurs in both Photo and Publisher, and it's not so much that the cropping tool works differently, but that it doesn't work at all. The cropping tool seems to serve the exact same function as the select tool.

I have noticed since trying to use the tool since yesterday that the crop tool no longer works. Is anybody else experiencing this problem and is there a solution? Seeing as cropping is such a common and essential requirement, I'm quite frustrated by the fact that I am no longer able to do this in Affinity Photo or the Photo persona in Affinity Publisher.

Absolutely no luck with the blurriness of the image, and I'm completely out of ideas. Very frustrating!

Bizarrely, I just opened the same Designer project on my iPad Pro rather than my desktop and exported from there and the pixelating problem vanishes. I'm still getting a blurred image on the e-mail client though, so I'll take John's suggesion and see how that works out.

Thanks for your prompt response. I think the blurriness is down to viewing at a higher zoom level, but the pixelation around the circle is visible regardless of zoom level. If I rasterise the circle in Designer it also pixellates around the edge of the shape even at 100%. I’m designing a signature to use in my e-mail client, and have used the dimensions suggested. So why does the image also appear blurry on my e-mail client, as this is surely displayed at 100%? I have tried using larger dimensions but it just ends up taking up too much space (the size cannot be adjusted in my e-mail client)

I'm trying to export a vector image which is 600x200 pixels at 300DPI. Within the image is a square picture that I've masked within a circle shape, with an exposure and brightness/contrast adjustment. Whenever I export to PNG, JPG or TIFF, not only is the overall image quite blurry, but the circle is very pixellated around the edges. If someone could please advise what I should do I would really appreciate it, as I've been scratching my head over this for much too long! Thanks
