I tried the Macro, and thank you for sharing this information. I also noticed Copy from the selection does the same thing as the macro. I have examples with the same dimensions after the crop is performed. 756px x 656px http://oo5dynasty.com/video/new_from_clipboard.mp4 http://oo5dynasty.com/video/crop_macro.mp4

Lol, Title is (is Crop to selection possible) and that question was answered. No a crop to selection Function is not present in the current application. So we have given suggestions for a work around for those who want to work destructively inside a nondestructive application. Did my best to help you and I hope you find what you are looking for.

To be honest I showed you exactly what you showed me. Plus the crop tool is cropping to what you selected. I don’t think you guys are posting in the right thread. Crop to Selection. The Crop to Selection command crops the image to the boundary of the selection by removing any strips at the edges whose contents are all completely unselected. Areas which are partially selected (for example, by feathering) are not cropped. The best thing I can do for you guys is link this post that clearly breaks it down. He even states affinity Photo is a nondestructive based workflow application. He also breaks down ways to still achieve what you are looking for. Please try these method and see if they are helpful. If not then you might have to stick with the software you are currently using to crop to selection. As always I try to help where I can, and I hope you ultimately find a way to use affinity.serif.com product in its entirely with no issues.

Just a simple round brush, but ill try again at a later time to see if their is something I'm doing wrong on my end. If the problem continues, I will just record a video of my process and submit on the forum. Thank you for following up with me, I appreciate that!

The brush in affinity Designer lags for me, and then crashes the program. I just make a note not to click on it. Maybe ill take a video of this and show it to the dev team.

I am confused by your question.

Hey ty for the comment, and yes one thing I like to do is help where I can. I do also understand your concern to want a quick feature implemented into Affinity Photo/Designer for the sole purpose of crop to selection. At this current time, This feature is not available to its users, but I don't like to see my fellow members frustrated by this. So In the post by @toltec their is no masking involved. So Lets talk about this, in the video you posted, you selected 3 areas of an image. Then from that point you cropped the selection, which removed the outer blurred background from the image. This left just the inside portion of the image. You can achieve this also in Affinity Photo with using the Crop Tool. Crop Tool Example

Try this method I hope this help, But it should because you can really do a refine selection of an image.

You are looking for a SELECT COLOR RANGE feature inside Affinity Photo, if I understand you correctly. So you want to select all of the colored parts of an image, and then crop to selection? The reason I am asking is because the title of this thread is, is Crop to selection possible By stinkykong, March 11, 2017 in Affinity on Desktop Questions (Mac and Windows) So we know crop to selection is possible via the post by @toltec I believe their is threads that help with ways to select color range from what I remember! But I do have a quick question for you. How come you just don't make a group for all of your layers, and do a Ctrl + Left click to select all of the colored parts of your image. Then follow the rest of the steps in the video?

This Video is a Speed Art of the Thumbnail I created for one of my youtube video!
