A_B_C Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hi, I’m slightly wondering about an issue with the Crop Tool. The numeric readouts on the context toolbar report inconsistent values, when I resize the crop area with “Snap to Pixels” active. Even with “Snap to Pixels” inactive, for that matter. But anyway, that seems like a bug. Thank you for having a look, Alex 😀 MacBook Pro 16" 2019, macOS Catalina 15.5.6, Photo 1.8.4 Crop-Tool.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 2, 2020 Staff Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hi A_B_C, In your video above you have Snapping disabled (the magnet icon). Enable it and it will work as you'd expect. It's however weird we can enable just the Force Pixel Alignment option from the toolbar but snapping remains disabled still doesn't work. I will log this to be looked at. Thanks for letting us know about it. Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 But for any vector or scaling tool in Designer or Photo, Force Pixel Alignment can be activated without actually ticking the Magnet Button, Miguel! I’d suggest you should rather leave it this way, as it is an extremely useful option when doing pixel perfect designs. 😀 Snap-to-Pixels.mov Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 To make myself more clear, when you’re doing pixel-perfect stuff, you will always have Force Pixel Alignment enabled, but only sometimes enable a set of additional snapping options. For this scenario, I believe the current solution is just perfect. 😀 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted September 2, 2020 Staff Share Posted September 2, 2020 Hi A_B_C, That behaviour will not change. In earlier versions (up to 1.6) the Crop Tool was snapping to whole pixels regardless of the Force Pixel Alignment setting (why would we ever need an image cropped to non-integer values?). That's what's logged to be looked at. A_B_C 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted September 2, 2020 Author Share Posted September 2, 2020 I see. That’s fine. I was afraid the devs would change the setting globally, such that it would affect the other tools too. 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
