Alex_M Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Hi, Can I snap to layers with the crop tool? I've enabled snapping and checked all snapping options and it still doesn't snap to any object in the document.

Fixx Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 I think crop tool does not snap to anything. It should, room for improvement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toltec Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Well, the crop will will snap to guide lines and guide lines will snap to bounding boxes. But you can't just snap the crop to bounding boxes. The question is why? :wacko: If it's a layer, you can just put the layer in something else, like a new layer or new document at the exact size of the layer. You can also use the layer as a mask or to make a selection. So you should not really need to crop it and throw everything else away. Quote Windows PCs. Photo and Designer, latest non-beta versions.

Alfred Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 So you should not really need to crop it and throw everything else away. The Crop Tool is non-destructive, so you aren't throwing everything else away. ^_^ Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Ben Posted July 3, 2017 Staff Share Posted July 3, 2017 Which Crop tool are we talking about? The raster one, or the vector one?

R C-R Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 The basic Affinity Photo crop tool I suppose. FWIW, both are non-destructive. Unless I am missing something, AP only has the raster crop tool & AD only the vector one. But both preserve the non-destructive behavior of the other app's tool as long as everything stays in the native .afdesign or .afphoto file format. How it is done is pretty slick: the vector crop creates a mask that can be switched on & off in either app & the raster crop tool crops the whole canvas but does not remove the off-canvas parts from the document.

Staff Ben Posted July 5, 2017 Staff Share Posted July 5, 2017 On that last point - I've just rewritten the raster crop tool (coming soon). The new one will have an option for how the cropping is handled: non-destructive, resampled, or resampled and clipped to spread. The latter two will resample all raster content to the new document DPI/PPI, and the last will remove all pixels outside the spread after cropping. I've also added a new crop mode for changing the document PPI. It will also have a bunch of presets for common sizes (paper, screen, etc).
