p_mac Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I like to change the measurements to inches when cropping in order to be able to size to a particular paper dimensions. This is not possible in the as the dimensions are limited to pixel (greyed out) However when I am in the Hand tool, changing the dimension type is easy. Any help with this issue would be great. I am running the new update Affinity Photo v 1.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted December 9, 2015 Staff Share Posted December 9, 2015 Hi, p-mac, With the Crop Tool selected switch the Mode to Absolute Dimensions, you can then change the Unit to inches. Hope this helps. L metajake 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted December 9, 2015 Staff Share Posted December 9, 2015 Hi p_mac, Change the Mode dropdown to Absolute Dimensions in the context toolbar and you should be able to change the units. metajake 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h_d Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 Hi @arutnev and welcome! The original question was posted and answered five years ago, and Affinity Photo has been updated many times since then. Change the mode to Resample and you will be able to modify the units.

arutnev Posted November 7, 2020 Share Posted November 7, 2020 OK. Thanks for your answer; but how can I crop my picture in a non-uniform size (not proportional), because in "resample" mode, the cropping works in proportional way or uniform, that's to say that when I reduce the width the height is also affected… Thanks a lot for your precious time answering my questions… Sorry… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No matter what default unit that is selected you can enter values in the size fields like this 100 px 20 in 1 cm 2 mm You don't have to use the same unit; you can enter 2 in in the first value field (width) and 200 pixels in the next (height) Photo will convert the value to the unit selected If you just enter a number the unit selected will be used The size of the crop selection is displayed in pixels next to the height field Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."
