Is Affinity worthless without crop to selection? Absolutely no. Instead of drawing a selection box, just draw a crop box. It is a change to workflow, which does take some getting used to. But it does the exact same thing.

Affinity is not a 1:1 recreation of Photoshop. It is its own program and it has its own ways of doing things. Some of these are much better, some of these are worse and some of these are just different. If you go in expecting Affinity to be exactly like Photoshop, you'll be disappointed. It is a new program that does take time to learn, but if you put in the time, you will be pleasantly surprised. 

No, it is not the same thing: it is more difficult to be as precise in the cropping with the crop box of Affinity and it is more cumbersome.

Photoshop has been the leader in the photo retouching software market for so many years that any software company that jumps into the photo retouching market will have to reproduce, in some way, the basic functions of Photoshop or they will never succeed. People are too used now to the Photoshop functionalities that any lack in the basic functions in a new software would translate into failure to become the new number one.

I just downloaded the trial version an hour ago. First thing I tried was "Crop to selection", and after reading several forums on Internet, I learn that it is not possible!!!

Wow, that does not start well for Affinity. Such a basic function, I can't understand why it has been left out. As many, I want to leave the money siphon company, but how would it be possible if the competition is that silly??!!
