Thanks MEB, I was wrong about the dimensions. It's 'custom ratio' that only allows whole numbers. (Interestingly, 'absolute dimensions' sets 42x29.7 as 41.99x29.68). As I only print my pictures at A3 size, (i.e. 42x 29.7cm) I need to use 'custom ratio' to crop, but the closest I can get is 42x30. Is there a way to set 42x29.7 as a preset ratio in this program? That .3 is only a small difference, but it can be significant in a close crop. Thanks Paul

As a photographer who uses a printer to make mainly A3 prints, I have a couple of issues with Affinity's cropping tool. 1. If I don't want to use 'absolute dimensions', 6x4, 8.5x11 or 1024x768px, why is it impossible to change the units? Further, why is 'Absolute dimensions' the only user defined crop which can change units? This is especially an issue since even when I use 'Absolute dimensions', it only allows full numbers (i.e. 29.7= A3 size, becomes 30). 2. Why does the crop rectangle move outside of the image? If I have decided to crop an image, and I have set the crop size (difficult with this program), why would I want to move outside the confines of my picture? Paul
