t_al Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 Hey, when I import pictures into picture frames I can only scale and rotate the pictures by clicking on the picture and then using the shown slider and rotation tool within these frames. Are there some keyboard shortcuts to do so or can I add some? And how do I scale the picture within the frame non-propotional without scaling the frame itself?

Staff Dan C Posted October 16, 2019 Staff Share Posted October 16, 2019 Hi Thomas, Unfortunately there's no keyboard shortcuts to scale and rotate the image, currently you have to use the controls shown when selecting the image. You can find all the scaling/fit options under the Properties option on the Context Toolbar, as shown below - I hope this helps!

t_al Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 Hey Dan, thank's a lot for your help, I appreciate a lot. Your hint to the context tool bar was gold. I switched it on now :-) I hope that scaling and rotating will get their keyboard shortcuts as I have to manipulate a lot of pictures that way and it's way faster with the keyboard. InDesign let's my scale pictures in biggers steps with one keystroke and in smaller steps with a different one. That's what I would love to have for Affinity Publisher.

MickRose Posted October 16, 2019 Share Posted October 16, 2019 If you click on the photo in the Layers panel you have much more control, either with the nodes or the Transform panel. No shortcuts unfortunately. Quote Windows 10 Pro, I5 3.3G PC 16G RAM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_al Posted October 16, 2019 Author Share Posted October 16, 2019 That's right but it takes too much time. In one specific case I have 9 picture frames and I have to place 1 photo in each and then manipiulate each photo within the frame to fit the frame perfect. For this I would love to have keyboard shortcuts to control the scaling and rotation of the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
