Cropping Tool, Mode Setting incorrect - Workbook


Recommended Posts

On page 94 of the Affinity Photo Workbook it takes you through an aspect ratio example, but then tells you to enter the modes input of 16 and 6 respectively,  This obviously can't be correct.  It crops the image to near nothingness.  On closer testing I found that what they mean is to click the Gear next to the mode to find the predetermined setting.  It is not as the tell you to "use the two input fields next to Mode".

In my edition of the Photo Workbook that's on page 92, but the instructions still work.

  1. Select Custom Ratio as the Mode.
  2. Put 16 and 9 in the two boxes to the right of that.

That gives me something that looks reasonable (below). Perhaps you didn't select Custom Ratio? If you used 16 and 9 with the default Unconstrained it would indeed be almost nothing.

There's no need to use the cog for that exercise.
