gfrank Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Is there a way to have a type of "lights-out" function in the crop tool? Specifically, to turn on a function that dims or entirely blacks out the area of a photo that is outside of the crop window? So when moving the crop window, only the area inside the crop window can be seen. LilleG and Alfred 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted April 14, 2016 Staff Share Posted April 14, 2016 Hi gfrank, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) No, there's no way to dim the display area outside the crop. I'm moving this thread to the Feature Requests section. LilleG 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nwhit Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 I'll second this. Very important for us to preview the crop by having the area outside the crop dimmed. Thanks.

LilleG Posted June 4, 2016 Share Posted June 4, 2016 Please do add it. It's one of those small things that you tend to miss from Photoshop. It isn't critical but it does let you see instantly if your planned crop looks as good as you thought it would. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William Cartwright Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I've requested this in the past (as have others). Seems like a simple (but valuable) feature to implement. Please add soon. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
