C.biz Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 just a little useful request from my side would be for Photo: for the Crop-Tool to add a Mode -> Crop to selection if you have an active selection it would crop the image to the size of it. THX for reading and considering this for future updates! S_Ktz, Hofnaar, shushustorm and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S_Ktz Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Don't need a Mode, just let us make a selection and then click on Crop. Bingo it crops to selection. Thanks! lepr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shushustorm Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Does anybody know if this is, by any chance, implemented in 1.5? It would be really useful to crop to selection. PeanutsA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jared Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I ran into this within ten minutes of using AP. I guess it is great to rethink how the same tasks can be accomplished compared to Photoshop, but at the same time, a lot of people with PS will do as I did and search through the menus for a Crop action (Crop to Selection) and be confused when they are unable to find it.

rainwilds Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Definitely need crop to marquee selection. It's the most effective way to crop quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD.CoolPenguin Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 Really want this. How do we get this feature on the roadmap? Do we just like the post and hope enough other people do too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edferg Posted October 24, 2017 Share Posted October 24, 2017 I agree - I miss having "crop to selection" after switching to Affinity Photo. rainwilds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles Jenkins Posted April 4, 2018 Share Posted April 4, 2018 Please implement this soon. Your developers may think it's trivial because "we already have a crop tool," but the current crop tool's UI is terrible for precision. It is currently too monumentally difficult to get a pixel-perfect crop in Affinity Photo. I find it way easier to save my picture and load it up in another program for cropping. The outlines in the crop tool are too fuzzy, and it's a matter of trial and error and to see where they're going to crop. There is no option I can find to just trim based on transparent pixels, top-left pixel color, or anything else that would let me get perfect crops automatically. I do a lot of shots of Windows dialog boxes for user manuals. Windows 7's windows have a thin black line at the very bottom. So when I crop to that, how do I tell if I'm successful? Either there is a black line next to AP's black workspace -- or there isn't. I'd have to export the photo and use something else to look at it in order to make sure I didn't trim off the last row of pixels. I strongly prefer AP's UI and workspace with docked panels, and I don't like Pixelmator's floating windows that constantly get in the way. But I sure do envy the fact that getting a good crop in Pixelmator is just a couple of steps, rather than all the frustrating fooling around Affinity Photo requires. Letting us crop to selection would be a huge, fantastic improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It cuts the dialog exactly - in one click, and can transfer to Affinity via New from Clipboard. Or edit it directly in FastStone, because it has excellent drawing skills (text, frames, highlighting, arrows, ...)

It’s shareware, so you can “try before you buy”, but at US$19.95 for a lifetime licence it’s very inexpensive given all the features that have been packed into it. If you don’t want all the latest features, version 5.3 (the last freeware version) is still available: http://freeware app.com/faststone-capture_download/ Another free alternative is the Snipping Tool which is supplied with all recent versions of Windows.
