jeffers Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 several hours of frustration my brain has turned to fug so have to turn to the experts please....I am playing with a composite for the face of a greeting card. Hopefuly you can see from the screen shot I have made a group of some layers, and I want to crop off the left hand side to fit the "half card". Whatever and however I try the whole card front crops to half size. I have tried rasterise and trim made a new pixel layer ...something simple I'm missing surely? Quote
Alfred Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 Instead of using the Crop Tool to crop the entire canvas, use a rectangle to crop the group. Draw a rectangle with the Rectangle Tool and adjust its size and position to cover the right-hand half of the canvas. Now go to the Layers panel, drag the rectangle layer and drop it onto the thumbnail of the group.

jeffers Posted November 7, 2020 Author Posted November 7, 2020 That works! I would never have thought of that though I was heading that way by trying to mask the group. Couldn't find anything in the help files but perhaps I was looking too hard around the crop tool. Many thanks as always. Alfred 1 Quote
