Hi DavidKroutArt,
Welcome to Affinity Forums :)
In Affinity Photo, select the Crop Tool, go to the context bar (right above the work area) and select the type of Overlay you want from the dropdown. You can choose between Thirds Grid (rule of thirds), Golden Spiral and Diagonals to help compose the crop.
How do I get to Affinity Photo? Is there a separate program specifically for exporting?
I usually go to Export Personal and it does not have those options.

To whom it may concern,
I think that it would be an amazing feature if export persona had a rule of thirds type grid for slicing or something of the sort. That or if we could crop the document size with a rule of thirds type document crop, I think that would be extremely helpful.
Thanks,
David K?

Suggestion 1: Faster Fixes
Please make the typography tool faster, specifically with a slider. I give an example in the four-minute video below. Many people will appreciate this a lot. http://www.twitch.tv/davidkkz/v/44695547
Also, the typography section uses percentages and per-mille symbols. Why does it not go by points or a custom measurement?
Suggestion 2: More Precision
In QuarkXPress you can change leading, tracking... (and be more accurate) while holding ALT/OPTION by amount 0.1 of the unit.
So, you in Affinity can add this feature and even be more creative by using some other modifier key (together with ALT, maybe) for even greater precision: 0.01 or 0.001.
-------------------------
I was asked by the Facebook team to submit this suggestion on the forums.
I am messaging you all this suggestion because I enjoy Affinity Designer more than Illustrator for various reasons. I'd rather the Serif team have the feature instead of Adobe because they should have had it a long time ago anyway.

Rule of Thirds - Cropping

Oh, yeah, I'm working in Affinity Designer creating illustrations. Rule of Thirds could help figure out where you want to cut off pieces of your photo for the best "interesting shot".
