Hey All-

I took a photo that was too tight to the subject. I learned of different techniques to expand the photo/background. I did so through the crop tool then expanded the images via various techniques. 

In working through the expansion, I was using the clone tool for one area. In doing so, the tool went past the boundary I was expecting based on the crop. (See attached). It exceeds my expected boundary on the top and left side.

How can I re-crop this repair to have a sold/striaght boundary?

Thank you!

Hi @Bay,

Affinity Publisher has the option to allow objects outside of the canvas to be drawn, which Affinity Photo does not support - however when in the Photo Persona of Publisher, the same View settings will be applied from the Publisher Persona.

Therefore can you please return to the Publisher Persona and navigate to View > View Mode > Clip to Canvas and toggle this option. Does this stop the document drawing beyond the crop/canvas for you? :)

Thank you, Dan! I appreciate your help! I'm trying to learn all I can about the Affinity suite.

This worked very well; however... Now that it clipped to the canvas, I now have this weird expanded section box that does not reflect the image size. See below...

No problem at all, I'm glad to hear this!

I can confirm this is the bounding box of the current layer being displayed - if you right-click on the Pixel layer and select Rasterise and Trim, the layer will be destructively clipped to the canvas, removing the content beyond the canvas and setting the bounding box to the image within the canvas. :)

Excellent. Thank you!  ...I'm curious, I understand and have learned that certain edits are destructive. Do you know of any kind of comprehensive list of destructive edits?

Apologies for the delayed response! Unfortunately I'm not aware of any such list currently, my apologies. I'll be sure to suggest this to our documentation team to see if this is something we can produce in the future :)

I suppose the term destructive must be an edit that cannot be undone, so although it may be an inconvenience using history can mitigate destructive edits prior to saving an image. Saving with History can also help with the latter issue of saving.

It might be easier to list non-destructive edits such as in Affinity Photo, using the live adjustment filters, and compounds in Affinity Designer. You could duplicate a layer, apply an edit and still recover the image to pre edit condition.
