This should get the 'bug' tag.
My description above was wrong.
Just after opening a photo I can custom crop 1:10 or 10:1, both behaving as expected.
If I first crop 1:10 (without actually performing the crop), and then change the values to 10:1, the second crop is performed inside my initial crop - that's why the resulting area is so small.
You can see the steps it takes while you're changing the values.
@smadell: can you confirm?
1.6.6 (Beta 8): If you directly, as the first thing, crop 10:1 it works, but if you change the values the marked area becomes tiny?

PS:
This also works wrong in AP 1.5.2 but in a different way.
(Has been a bug since before AP initially got released https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/12394-what-happened-to-topic8799-crop-tool-inconsistency) -
Edit: question not relevant any longer, is answered above.

Not fixed in 1.6.6 (Beta 8)
-
@smadell There definitively is an inconsistency, yes.
Edit: but not in the way I described here; see below. -
Edit: the behaviour I described was a freak incident, can not reproduce today.

Fixed: when I have many photos open, closing one now brings the next to focus (not the last).
Also fixed: this cropping bug.
Edit: introducing a new one instead.

Oh, it can be done in Affinity Photo. Thank you, MEB :-)

Hi
I'm using Affinity Photo mainly, but now I'm trying to do the following:
I have a logo in format .eps with a transparent background. To use it for a blog on wordpress.com it needs to be in format .png or .gif (http://bit.ly/2qcmX81).
When I open the .eps in AD and export the logo, how can I keep the background transparent?
Thank you. -
This might be of interest in the present context as well:

“The App Store uses Spotlight indexing to know when applications have updates available and to process those updates.” :)
Thank you :-)
(The panel they show was already empty in my settings.)

> Also, check out the options available in System Preferences > App Store. Among other things, you can optionally set it to

Yes. All were checked, yet the messages I got for AD were "quit unexpectedly" and "no updates available".
It's solved now, but I stand by what I said. -

Doesn't have to be via finder. Also happens if you have 1.5.2 and the Beta in your Dock and usually open the Beat from there or by dragging a photo onto the icon in the Dock.
I have the faint idea that at some point the error message was more helpful than it is atm. -

Hello A_B_C, thank you for replying.
I'm probably overlooking something very simple, but> go to the Mac App Store, click the Updates tab and download the latest version
I get 'No updates available'
Also, if I go to AD in the App Store, I get the button to pay it, no other option. Next step would be logging in to the store, but I'm not sure if by doing that I automatically pay or if there will be a page where I still can confirm or cancel the payment.

Use the clone tool instead? It's the third icon above the healing brush in you movie.

Related: how AP behaves when I have more photos open than are shown as tabs messes up my workflow considerably:

Hello Bill
Welcome to Affinity Photo :-)
This is what I tried: set the photo to black and white (in adjustments) and all the colour sliders to the right.
Or: set the photo to black and white, then go to 'brightness / contrast' (also in adjustments) and set them to 100%.
If anybody has another solution but no picture at hand: feel free to use

Hello CruizngSailor
Is selecting the inpainting tool (and trying to get it to work) your first step after opening the jpg?
-
Hi Austin, thank you for asking.
As far as I remember I got the export to work, but the printed result was not what I had wanted.

I seem to have misunderstood what 'sticky settings coming in 1.5' meant.
My workflow:1) I open a photo
2) I crop it to a custom preset [Mode -> scrolling down to one of my presets]3) I switch from 'Overlay: Thirds grid' to 'Overlay: none'
4) I crop and export the photo
What I expected to happen with 1.5 / sticky settings:1) I open a photo
2) Mode is on the preset that I last used3) Overlay is on 'none', because that's what I last used
4) I crop and export the photo
What happens:I still have to change Mode: and Overlay: for every single photo I work on.

Behaving the same for both of us, then; thank you for checking.
