John-C Posted August 17, 2020 Share Posted August 17, 2020 I was asked by a friend to crop a phone photo down to passport size. I opened up the image, selected the Crop Tool, switched to Resample, set the DPI to 300dpi and the units to Centimetres. Passport photos are 3.5cm by 4.5cm so I tried to add those numbers, but the crop went really weird, it changes my inputs to crazy numbers. I couldn't get it work no matter what I did. In the end I made a new document 3.5cm by 4.5cm at 300dpi and brought the photo in and resized it with the document. Then exported it. In the attached JPEG the top image is a new document 3.5 x 4.5 cm @ 300dpi. The second image is when I activated the Crop Tool. The third when I set it to Resample the dpi to 300, units to Centimetres. When I try to add 3.5 and 4.5 to the boxes Affinty Photo instead just makes them 62775.13cm and 413.39cm. At first I thought I was doing something wrong, but this seems to be a bug. I have tried this on my laptop and desktop machines, which both run Windows 10 Home, same results!

Staff Chris B Posted August 17, 2020 Staff Share Posted August 17, 2020 Hi John-C, This was a regression in the live retail build—my apologies. The developers have fixed this and made a few other changes in the beta which I would recommend using if you need the Crop Tool Quote How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikulas Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Hello, I've found out probably "buggy" behaviour of crop tool in Affinity Photo (ver. 1.10.5.1342 / win 10 Pro). In this video in time 4:33 is nicely explained how to crop and resample the image at the same time. I tried to mimic this procedure in latest version of Affinity photo and results doesn't correspond with video example, nor to expected behaviour of this tool, please find attached screen record. Is it really BUG or I do something wrong? Mikulas Affinity Photo 2022-04-10 21-13-42.mp4 Affinity Photo 2022-04-10 21-13-42.mp4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komatös Posted April 10, 2022 Share Posted April 10, 2022 Hi, @Mikulas and welcome to the forums. I can confirm that. If you use imperial messurement everything works fine, but if you use the metric system the value is multiplied. However, the resolution ratio is divided by the same factor.

Mikulas Posted April 11, 2022 Share Posted April 11, 2022 In my case nor imperial units don't solve the problem. The only option is to use as first: Document / Resize document / switch off "Resample" checkbox / set DPI / Save (Resize) and then use Crop tool / resample mode / set the units / set the required dimensions.

Staff Chris B Posted April 13, 2022 Staff Share Posted April 13, 2022 I've raised this with the developers. There's a discrepancy between Windows and macOS behaviours here.
