Magnet margin

[Wolf_]

One feature I'd really like to see added is a kind of magnet at the edge of what I'm cutting or moving.

For example: when I crop a photo in 4: 3, it sometimes happens that I crop 1 or 2 pixels at the top because I can't get super precise and a white line appears at the top. In these things I really need a magnet to help me auto detect the margin.

Photoshop has something like this and this is one simple feature that I'm really missing and I think it can be useful to other users as well.

Thanks!

Without a screenshot I'm not sure if this is what you mean, but if you enable Snapping (Magnet icon in the Toolbar), then the Crop Tool will snap to the edges of the document. This won't help if you have Placed an image into a larger document, as it only works at the actual document edges.

It was exactly what I was searching for! Thank you a lot

You might also try having Snap to Pixels (but not Move by Whole Pixels) set on the toolbar at top.

Adding a switch to make the cropping tool snap to layer borders would be very helpful with this kind of problem, too, and in general.

I know you can do this with guide lines, but that's this one action less that sometimes makes the difference...

Snap to object bounding boxes may be the thing you need.
