chessboard Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 1. Make a lasso selection on a pixel layer in Affinity Photo (or Photo Persona in Affinty Publisher) 2.Switch to move tool (topmost black arrow tool) and turn on "show transformation pivot" in options bar 3. Move the pivot (blue crosshair in circle) to some place other than the center of the selection 4. Adjust the transformation and switch to lasso tool to do a different selection somewhere else 5. Switch to move tool again with activated "show transformation pivot" 6. The pivot is now hard to find. It jumped (randomly, as it seems) somewhere outside the selection. It can be detected by rotating the selection with the move tool and looking for the rotation center. In Publisher it sometimes even jumps to another page. A "reset pivot to center" option doesn't seem to exist. Thus there's no other way than searching for the pivot each time after it has been moved from the selection center for an earlier selection. It would be much better to reset the pivot to the selection center each time a new selection was made.

chessboard Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 Not here. It is placed in a different place each time. It would still be understandable if the pivot for a new selection was set comparable to the positioning for the previous selection (i.e. relative to the selection position). Or if it would stay where it was placed for the selection before. But this is not the case for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff stokerg Posted May 25, 2022 Staff Share Posted May 25, 2022 Hi @chessboard, I'm finding the same same as @joe_l, the pivot point is staying in place.Ā Ā I've tried this in Photo and also in Publisher's Photo personaĀ Would you be able to provide a screen recording showing this happen?Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chessboard Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 Hi @stokerg, thanks for responding. Here's a recording I took. I hope it understandable what I do. I just use Shortcuts to switch the tools and do deselect. Ā CRWillow and stokerg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chessboard Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 Thanks, @joe_l. Hm, turning off hardware acceleration and switching to WARP-Rendering doesn't change this behavior on my PC. š¤ Ā Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
