wiso Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 hello, is it possible to cut a picture destructive? e.g. means that the border of the pic is not aviable again, when i use the crop tool again. my workflow is: crop the picture (remove red marked area) . use crop tool again to make the canvas bigger, for making a shadow and export it as png. thx, wiso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could use an actual rectangle to easily preview the crop and then turn it into a selection and then invert the selection and delete.

wiso Posted October 4, 2021 Author Share Posted October 4, 2021 thank you all, think one/the easy way is to take the marquee tool and cut the unwanted away - then take the crop tool to make the space around. (i thought maybe there is a funktion to turn off the undestructive cropping ...) by the way, has someone an idea or a hint for proportional increase the croping area? so that i get a regular margin around my pic? either a key combination to increase the croping area regular around the pic with one handle dragging nor a possibility to put in numbers, ~ 20% space around the pic. thx again, regards, wiso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have the Context toolbar showing you can enter in simple formulas like add 120 pixels (2222 px+ 120) after the numbers in there You have to have it set to the Unconstrained choice. I stay away from % and do times 1 point 2 for a 20 % increase (2222 px * 1.2). This will happen from the centre of the crop. wiso 1 Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 Affinity Designer 2.4.0 | Affinity Photo 2.4.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.0 | Beta versions as they appear.

wiso Posted October 5, 2021 Author Share Posted October 5, 2021 hallo again, works great! but in macro recording there is no way to integrate this percentage in croping, isn´t it? means that it every time i release the macro it adds x1.2to high and length - anywhere how big the picture is?! (it saves only the "fixed" size wich was recorded) regards, wiso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
