I miss this feature a lot, but it hasn't been a deal breaker for me.

Yes, we need this Affinity... nondestructive workflow can work with a "crop to selection" functionality too. I don't see any problems with that. Just implement this feature please

Serif, are you listening? Please make crop to selection possible. It's easy to program. People will like it. Non-destructive workflows will still be available for those who need them.
Commenters on this thread are just the tip of the iceberg - most annoyed people won't even bother telling you about it.

I wonder why this topic is so value-driven. People want this feature. The crop-to-selection workflow seems to be very common. I just needed this feature yesterday, but had to do it the hard way (copy merged, new from clipboard).

It's such a small thing. A very basic feature. Why not implement it, and see if people like it? Shouldn't take too long to try it out.

The above is from one very, very, very limited by it's thinking persona! The first thing I was looking into Affinity Photo is exactly crop selection. Since all things are NON-DESTRUCTIVE what stops the affinity guys from making that exact function a non-destructive! There is not a single operation as important as that simple, stupid trick - just cut it dam it!
As an artworker, I need a simple and fast cut of the selection I make for speed purpose.
So, enough of it. Please, include that into the next version. Or even better - do it NOW!

Thanks for the Rasterize tip, I thought I was losing my mind. Could not this be added to the manual under Flood Select Tool?
