How to destructively crop image and add to iPad photo gallery.

[Affinity Rat]

I presently have ADez, AFo, and Procreate on my iPad, I’m concerned about file bloat so would like to be able to destructively crop iPad gallery images and display the cropped version in iPad photos.

At present selecting image in iPad photos and using the sharing option only shows Procreate, I presume this is because it was the last install. Anyway, Affinity products dont destructively crop, so to do this with AFo I :

• copy photo from iPad photo
• paste into AFo,  
• crop to the part I want
• export
• the export dialogue has a Share button option to save image=> iPad photo.

Is there an easier way to achieve this?

Hi Affinity Rat,

At the moment, that's probably the best way to work destructively. This is because until you export, it's an .afphoto document, which is unreadable by Apple's Photos.
