kirstie75 Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 Help.... complete beginner! I am following the first tutorial video and I can't find the apply button as shown once an image as been cropped. I've tried looking in all the settings in case it was disabled but there is nothing obvious - what am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R C-R Posted December 26, 2016 Share Posted December 26, 2016 (edited) If you mean the Apply button for the Crop Tool in the Photo Persona, it is in the Context toolbar below the main toolbar when that tool is selected. EDIT: As Fixx suggested, If you don't see the Context toolbar, enable it in the View menu.

AffinityExcel Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Why is my Context Toolbar empty? I have Affinity Designer version 1.8.3.641 The 'Show Context Toolbar' is checked in the View pulldown menu, and the entire bar is empty. I also unchecked and rechecked... still empty. I also closed and reopened... still empty. Also, I attempted to included a link to a screenshot image, but the "Insert image from URL" would not let me.

carl123 Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 You are using Designer... there is no Context Toolbar for the Crop Tool in Designer as it works differently to, say, the crop tool found in Affinity Photo The Crop Tool in Designer is a Vector Crop Tool which allows you to select an object and crop that object directly, it does not allow you to crop the entire document like a "normal" crop tool does.

You have hidden the Context Toolbar. It also looks like the Status Bar at the bottom of the window is missing, so perhaps at some time you pressed Tab which hid the entire UI (User Interface), and then you've reactivated parts of the UI piecemeal using the View menu. I would suggest pressing Tab again, as the Status Bar is (in my opinion) important. But alternatively, you could just use View > Show Context Toolbar.

journeyman4 Posted May 17, 2023 Share Posted May 17, 2023 (edited) Hi, Thank you very much for your reply, I saw about the tab button and what it does, I did,nt realise that I had obviously pressed it, so with doing that, then as you suggested "View" Show context toolbar it has worked a real treat, I now have the Apply, and Straighten buttons. Thank you so very much for your help greatly appreciated, thank you. Edited May 17, 2023 by journeyman4 walt.farrell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
