macsurveyr Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Hello, Photoshop has a Ruler tool that allows you to draw a ruler, a line, across an image - edit the end points of the line if necessary - and then rotate the canvas with the arbitrary angle the line was drawn at. Is there a similar tool in Affinity Photo? I have a very specific need to be able to rotate images very accurately a very small, but different amount. Thanks for any information.

Staff DWright Posted April 21, 2016 Staff Share Posted April 21, 2016 Hi macsurveyr, Welcome to the forum. Affinity Photo does not have a ruler tool the same as Photoshop rather this function is within the crop tool where there is the straighten tool which allows you to draw the line the you wish the rotate to follow and you can also manually relate the image.

macsurveyr Posted April 25, 2016 Author Share Posted April 25, 2016 Hi Darren, Thank you for the info. Using the straighten tool in the crop, is there a way to easily zoom and pan while drawing the line? I need to zoom into the pixel level to pick the places I want to straighten between but they are also on the opposite sides of fairly large images. Thanks, Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Hi, you can use Arrow tool instead Ruler tool for horizontal and vertical measurement. Result at transform panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ahornero Posted November 7, 2017 Share Posted November 7, 2017 Hi, I really miss the "Ruler Tool" from PS or the "Measure Tool" from GIMP. Is there any way to measure angles and distances between to given points in Affinity Photo? Any plugin? It's quite annoying to use another tool to perform this easy task which doesn't require any particular algorithm. Regards, Alberto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
