walt.farrell Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 What application are you using? What kind of layer?

sieaffin Posted November 26, 2023 Author Share Posted November 26, 2023 Hi Walt, affinity photo 2 (see the tag). So a pixel layer I want to crop. I have read about masking the layer, but isn't there a simpler way (similar to the vector crop in publisher)? walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted November 27, 2023 Staff Share Posted November 27, 2023 Hi @sieaffin, In Affinity Photo, the Crop Tool is a Canvas Crop and not a specific Layer Crop - which is the behaviour of the Vector Crop Tool in Designer / Publisher. If you wish to Crop a singular Layer within Affinity Photo, you can use Masks. These can either be Pixel based masks, usually painted with the Paint Brush Tool, or a Vector Layer mask, applied by dragging the Vector shape over the thumbnail of the layer you want to crop. For example - 2023-11-27 13-31-49.mp4 Alternatively, you can use File > Edit in Designer/Edit in Publisher from the menu within Affinity Photo to send the document to Designer/Publisher respectively, then use the Vector Crop tool as required. I hope this helps Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time. Should you require a response from the team in a thread I have previously replied in - please Create a New Thread and our team will be sure to reply as soon as possible. Many thanks!
