Hi, I've just discovered the really helpful crop tools in the develop persona, specifically the 'Thirds' and 'Golden Spiral' overlay options. The problem is, the orientation of the Golden Spiral is limited. I can rotate it to a landscape or portrait orientation, but it just means that the focus of the spiral is always in the top left of the frame. There seems to be no option for bringing the centre of the spiral to the right. Is this by design or a bug? If by design, it's a bit limiting. FYI This is on Windows Version 1.9.0.932. BTW I'm loving the application. Cheers Graham

Hi Folks, I don´t know if this a bug or a mix-up. So i post this in the Suggestion Forum. I noticed that the Golden Spiral in the german language is called as Goldener Schnitt and in the english language as golden Spiral. So far so good, but the golden Spiral is not the same tool as the golden cut (hope that is the right designation for this) It seems that AP has no Functions like the Golden Cut. Please take a look to the linked Website. It´s only in german language available, sorry for this. On top of the site the golden Spiral will be explained, if you scroll a little bit down, the golden Cut will be explained and then you will see that these are two different things. And is is not the same than Thirds Grid. This is something else again. https://www.foto-kurs.com/bildgestaltung-goldener-schnitt.htm I have just found an english Website where it is explained. There it is called: Phi Grid https://www.apogeephoto.com/how-to-use-the-golden-ratio-to-improve-your-photography/ Is ist possible to add the right feature (golden Cut.... in german "Goldener Schnitt") to the drop down menu that we have the golden Spiral AND the golden Cut? On the one hand, this is a bug report, on the other hand, a feature request. Both in one

Dear Affinity Staff, I am very happy with my purchase. Here’s a little thing that might make it better, more non-destructive in spirit. Right now, I can crop, and then unclip canvas if I change my mind. I often get some dead space around the pixel layers but I’m sure you will work that out eventually. But how cool would it be if I didn’t have to crop in the first place? The slices principle of the export persona appears to be perfectly suited for this, but I find it inconvenient to use at the moment. I would like an option to force ratio (2:3, 4:5, etc. ) and an option for showing the overlays (rule of thirds, golden spiral etc). That way, if my parents or in-laws neglect to tell me the aspect ratio of their picture frame, I can quickly and conveniently export a range of perfectly composited slices of pictures of their grandchildren! I know a modifier key will constrain the ratio but then I have hit the 4:5 ratio perfectly somehow at some point.... thanks for reading. Wouter

Hi there, I used an older version of Affinity Photo two years ago and used the golden spiral function. I just updated to the newest version 1.6.6 and it disappeared. Any help, guys? THX Isil

A way to flip the Golden Spiral into each corner in Affinity Photo for iPad would be a great feature to have it available in the crop tool, like in the mac Version.

I would like to be able to use the Compositional Overlays when designing as well as when cropping. Additionally, is there a way to flip the Golden Spiral both horizontally and vertically?
