FrankSchroeder Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Hi I don’t understand how to modify a layer without modify the others. Example : I want to crop a part of a layer but when applying it all layers are cropped too. thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted November 14, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 14, 2019 Hi FrankSchroeder, Welcome to the forums The crop tool in Affinity Photo is a Canvas Crop, which will always affect all layers, not only the one you have selected. Unfortunately there's no specific feature for singling out 1 specific layer in Affinity iOS apps, however you can use the menu icon to the top right of the Layer Studio to Hide All Layers, then simply reshow the singular layer you want to work on. I hope this helps! Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!

megabit Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Could it solve your problem if you use a curve and a mask to „crop“ the layer you want to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smadell Posted November 16, 2019 Share Posted November 16, 2019 Although you can’t literally crop a single layer, you can effectively do the same thing by clipping the layer to a vector shape. Create a shape (such as the rectangle I used in the screenshot below) and drag the layer into the shape, so that it becomes a child of the shape.

FrankSchroeder Posted November 18, 2019 Author Share Posted November 18, 2019 ..and if you want crop the layer (without touching the layer below) to only get the left pink house with a geometrical tool like the selection rectangle ? With iPad new Photoshop, it takes 2 clics and 3 seconds... but I would keep working with Affinity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smadell Posted November 18, 2019 Share Posted November 18, 2019 Frank... If you want to use the selection tool, just make a selection and then create a mask. 1F3D2CAB-5BF3-40BA-B650-CF0B1E508BE2.MOV Quote Affinity Photo 2, Affinity Publisher 2, Affinity Designer 2 (latest retail versions) - desktop & iPad Culling - FastRawViewer; Raw Developer - Capture One Pro; Asset Management - Photo Supreme Mac Studio with M2 Max (2023}; 64 GB RAM; macOS 13 (Ventura); Mac Studio Display - iPad Air 4th Gen; iPadOS 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
