KaiSp Posted July 11, 2023 Share Posted July 11, 2023 Hi there, today I was trying to find a simple way to fit an image to a picture frame in Affinity Publisher in iPad. Something similar to „fit to frame“ in InDesign. I found a video tutorial on youtube, but the context menu shown there is missing in version 2.1.1. Instead there is a new section called „constraints“ within the transform panel. But these constraints have no effect on images or frames whatsoever. I work as a media designer on print and non print projects in germany for more than 18 years now, mostly using Adobe products. I just want to fit or center an image inside a frame, which I feel is one of the most basic features. What am I missing here, is there another way specific to affinity publisher to do this? Thanks in advance, Kai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With a more complete screenshot I might be able to say more, but partial screenshots often omit critical information.

KaiSp Posted July 11, 2023 Author Share Posted July 11, 2023 That‘s ok, I simply didn‘t know I had to have place image tool selected for the context menu to show up, thank you for the advice. The other menu seems to be more like a preset, telling empty picture frames how to behave when images are placed in them. walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
