[APh] Auto-crop an image (to crop out single colour backgrounds)


Recommended Posts

In Affinity Photo, is it possible to crop an image automatically, like GIMP's auto-crop feature?

 

I'm editing screenshots of an application (see the attached) - I take these with OS X's screenshot feature, roughly dragging around the application window, then want to crop it to retain just the window - removing the dark grey bit in the attached example. The background's all the same colour. GIMP's auto-crop feature removes a same-colour border from an image. Does Affinity Photo having anything similar, or do I have to use the crop tool and select the application window by hand?

 

Thanks.

A workaround if you have multiple images or objects with no transparent background around them:

  • Group all visible objects.
  • Note the group dimensions in the transform panel
  • Set the dimensions of the document to the noted dimensions 
  • Set objects to Anchor to Page

The usual custom here seems to be to leave a "+1" on the thread. So, sine I'd love that feature as well:

The thing is:
I love working with affinity designer and I own affinity photo since ages too but in 90% of times I startup Gimp instead of Photo. Actually I only use Affinity Photo to knock out the background of a photo. My raster image tasks are more basic and gimp provides me with all that, sadly affinity photo doesn't.

This request indeed is very old, but Photo 1.7 Beta did not change something to make it easier to use here.
