Straighten

[debbru]

When you straighten an image in Affinity Photo & you get the Alpha corners, can someone tell me how to fill them in.

If by this you mean there's transparency in some corner, you can use the Inpainting tool or the Clone tool to fill them after croping the image.

The following procedure is relevant to the blank spaces you have after straightening. It is not the standard use of the Inpainting Tool.

Having straightened your image:

1. Select > Alpha Range > Select Partially Transparent
2. Edit > Inpaint
3. Select > Deselect.

You might have to tidy up the inpainting.

@debbru   I watched an Affinity tutorial on how to straighten, crop and inpaint corners over and over, until I finally decided to make myself a cheat sheet on the process.  Eventually I made a macro of it too.  If you don't mind my very amateurish instructions, here is how it works flawlessly every time.  Hope this will help!

Thank you for your help. I followed your instructions & it worked. I don't know what I was doing wrong.

So happy it worked for you!!   Magic, what?
