redcram Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 I am able to use the cropping tool to crop the entire document/ image... but how can I easily crop just one layer? Please see the attached screen shot. I want to crop out the white space at the bottom of this image, but can't figure out an easy way to do this. Thanks for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted August 21, 2016 Staff Share Posted August 21, 2016 Hi redcram, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) There's no specific tool to crop just a single layer. One way to work around this is to use the Rectangle Tool to create a rectangle over the part of the image you want to be visible, then simply drag the image layer over the rectangle layer in the Layers panel to use the rectangle as a clipping layer. Although the rest of the image isn't visible it's still there. If you want to get rid of it select the rectangle layer in the Layers panel and select Rasterise.... The result is just the part of the image that was visible previously inside the rectangle area exactly as if it was cropped by the rectangle.

redcram Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Ok, thank you, perhaps a simple cropping tool for layers could be included in the next update? Sparkleybright and Christos Pro 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 redcram, Since there can be many different layer types in an Affinity document, implementing a layer cropping tool would not be as simple as you might think.

Staff MEB Posted August 22, 2016 Staff Share Posted August 22, 2016 Hi redcram, Affinity Designer does have a non-destructive object based crop tool but it's not available in Photo. Maybe you should place a request for this in the Feature Requests section.
