My first post. Hope this is the right place. Can Affinity Designer do a small circular crop of a large image then delete the original image and keep the circular crop in Designer? Or does the original image have to stay in the document? I have looked for the answer but only found how to crop. I use many of these crops in the same document and with my current software I have to export the crop as a png then open the png in a new document. Otherwise, with many crops the document file size becomes extremely large. Opening the document is slow and working in the document is laggy. Could I overcome this problem using Designer? It's not the extra steps that are the main problem. There is often loss of quality, especially if the original image is a vector. I have to enlarge it many times before exporting a png, then import the png and reduce the size back to what I need. Thanks for any info on how Designer could overcome this issue.
