  1. > It is not a bug. It is very handy way to add more canvas to document.

     

    Then it should be called 'Add canvas'.

    - I open a photo that has landscape proportions (width > height)
    - I want to crop part of that photo - not add anything to it
    - I have to move the crop lines to be within the photo (see screenshot)

     

    This is a bug because it works as expected for photos with portrait proportions (height > width).

  2. > Why does the crop rectangle move outside of the image? If I have decided to crop an image, ... why would I want to move outside the confines of my picture?

    This is a bug. I've been waiting for it to get fixed since before the official launch of Affinity Photo https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/12394-what-happened-to-topic8799-crop-tool-inconsistency.

    It's keeping me from promoting AP to my colleagues.

  3. > clean up my photographs

     

    My suggestion would be: start with a picture that has a relatively easy problem that is bothering you.

     

    (Did you get the inpainting brush to work, by the way?)

     

    The steps I most often use in Affinity Photo are

     

    - cropping *

    - brightening a picture with the 'Level' adjustment

    - cleaning up some clutter with the inpainting brush (or, if that isn't working: with cloning and then using the inpainting brush to get rid of the traces of the cloning) **

    I write this mainly to show you: Affinity photo is a powerful tool, but it can also be used for basic retouching steps.

     

    When you want to straighten a picture, make sure that in 'Preferences - Performance' you have chosen 'View quality - Bilinear', otherwise the result can look wrong.
