selah2012 Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Hello, I have a quick question. How do I see the objects outside of the canvas? Whenever I drag the object off the canvas I cannot see it anymore. I know about clip/unclip but I don't want the objects clipped onto the canvas. Hope my question makes sense! Thank you! malyKeri 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff MEB Posted June 30, 2017 Staff Share Posted June 30, 2017 Hi selah2012, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) There's no way to see objects placed outside the canvas in Affinity Photo. selah2012 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hokusai Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 selah2012, Normally vector apps, like Affinity Designer, have the ability to place objects off the canvas and to be able to see them and access them. Affinity Photo is a raster based application and traditionally in programs that are raster based, you aren't able to do that.

Taluyaq Posted July 1, 2017 Share Posted July 1, 2017 If areas outside the canvas are not intended to be seen they should not show up in the layer thumbnails as they did for me.

How come all of a sudden I'm seeing things outside of the canvas then? (on a design I've been working on for months - suddenly I am seeing pixel brushes outside - and I'd like to go back to not seeing that - so what has happened or what have I done?) I just realised this thread relates to Photo - but the same question applies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
