fphoto Posted May 29, 2022 Share Posted May 29, 2022 It would be nice if you could also add a golden mean grid to the crop overlay as well as having the thirds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fphoto Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 (edited) No, I mean the square gridlines, like the thirds grid, but in a bit more, a phi grid. an example is here: http://bttwhatilearned.weebly.com/phi-grid.html Edited May 31, 2022 by fphoto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardMH Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 It's fiddly but you can save the grid as an asset and resize it to get the crop. I also have a golden ratio rectangle as a crop preset. So with some awkwardness it can be done. Ideally we should be easily able to use any grid. Pretty sure the grids are in here http://www.the-art-of-composition.com/dynamic-symmetry-grids.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fphoto Posted June 1, 2022 Author Share Posted June 1, 2022 thanks! I think this is in the 'Dynamic Symmetry Root Rectangle Grids' / 'Root Phi Grids' would it be possible for you to make a variation which doesn't have the diagonals but only the square grid lines (that are on golden mean)? I guess I could try to figure out how to do it as well. I really think that grid (similar to the thirds) should be available as a default in Affinity Photo Not sure how to add one of these to affinity photo as a grid for the crop tool, any pointers would be welcome. thanks again.

RichardMH Posted June 1, 2022 Share Posted June 1, 2022 They're not my grids and I'm not that good at making them. As far as I can see we can't add our own grids to the crop tool. Be nice if we could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
