Welcome to the party! I think the hope of some of us on this thread is that as we amass more and more voices we may actually have that voice heard.  Of course, others just want to complain.  Either way, lots of room at this party.

Yeah, thanks. To this i could add automation. I know Affinity has macros, but macros are built on simple features like cropping to selection, regardless of how selection was made.

Note that Clip Canvas will have no effect if you have top level layers with "infinite" size, for example adjustment layers. I don't know if it's "by design", an oversight or a bug, but it doesn't even help if you disable them.

To clip the canvas to actual alpha>0 bounds, you'd have to – temporarily, if you wish – clip such infinite layers to a layer with "finite" size, i.e. a pixel layer or a (temporary) shape.

thanks. that sounds very similar to PS's Trim and Reveal All, after changing canvas size.

Am i missing something, or is this still not possible? After 4 odd years of various users asking for this feature and it's still not available?

that's a bit disappointing.

I, for one, like it simply for what it does. No matter how "weird" the concept may seem at first – myself coming from PS CS5.5 – I can make good use of it.

New user here, what exactly does it (Document > Clip Canvas/Unclip Canvas) do?
