Resize Frame of Cropped Selection - Affinity Designer 2


Recommended Posts

When I put a selection of objects in a cropping frame in AF Photo 2 I can adjust only the frame by selecting the frame on the layers panel and then tweak the frame. No matter what I try to do it won't work in AD2, unless I change the frame to curves (as opposed to a rectangle) and tweak it with the node tool. Is this the only way to do it in AD2 or am I missing something else?

What do you mean by a "cropping frame" in Photo?

And I'm confused by your initially mentioning Photo then talking about Designer in the remainder of the post and in the topic title.

Perhaps a screenshot would also help.

I want to be able to resize the rectangle (frame) that has cropped the image without having to release the image from the frame and then putting it back into the frame to crop again.  I mentioned AP because I thought it worked there, but not in AD, but I just retried in AP and it doesn't work there now, maybe in this latest version, as I thought it did before.

Well while the move tool is active you can resize the rectangle in all Affinity apps.

if you want the child layers to be not impacted, select „lock children“.

Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.

My posts focus on technical aspects and leave out most of social grease like „maybe“, „in my opinion“, „I might be wrong“ etc. just add copy/paste all these softeners from this signature to make reading more comfortable for you. Otherwise I’m a fine person which respects you and everyone and wants to be respected.
