Buffalo Posted February 6, 2020 Share Posted February 6, 2020 I've tried every snap option and I can't figure this out. When I drag the crop tool inward, it won't snap to anything. I want it to snap to different layers that are present. How do I make that work? HenrikF 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're talking about Photo, the Crop Tool will snap to the image edges, and to Guides. It is not sensitive to layers, probably because it is cropping the image, not cropping a layer. If you're talking about the Designer Persona of Designer, the Crop Tool is layer-oriented, and will start out snapped to the edges of the active layer you're cropping.

Yes it's cropping the image, but I use different layers as boundaries that I expect to be snappable when I use the crop tool. That's how it works in Photoshop.

But Photo is not Photoshop, and you'll find that many things work differently. Feel free to make a Feature Request, or concur to an existing one. Perhaps the Serif team will agree it should be possible, and make a change someday.
