iuri Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) The Rectangular marquee tool (in the Selections persona) should: snap to grid, guides and layers AND corners should be points one can select and move to resize (and snap to grid/guide/layers) Ex: Its a feature from Pixelmator that i miss a lot. Edited August 12, 2017 by iuri added request for corner with points to resize selection Zack Black, NewUser77 and Basiccomic 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andhedrew Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Seconded! Would love this feature. NewUser77 and Zack Black 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basiccomic Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Absolutely. It's this feature alone that's stopping me using the program. It's quite a basic feature and I'm surprised it isn't there. NewUser77, Zack Black and iuri 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewUser77 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Totally agree with all the above comments. I have just started using Affinity instead of Photoshop (which I have been using for years). The missing snapping feature for the rectangular marquee tool is making it impossible for me to continue using Affinity...

Zack Black Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Jumping in here 6 years later to discover this same HUGE shortcoming. As a game developer I have like 50 projects going back to literally the 90s of things that I have worked on. Sometimes I just want to open a flat .PNG file and make some quick modifications rather than tracking down the original source .PSD that has the full layer stack and such. (I know, it's lazy, but I am a one-man-band so my time is stretched very thin.) There are also MANY 2D sprite sheets where everything is laid out in grids of 8 pixels. I often need to just open one of these source PNGs and move something to a different location. (Sometimes just for quick testing.) Anyway... I hate to say it but Affinity just became unusable to me because of this lack of full grid snapping. It's seriously a real shame because up until now I have been adapting quickly and easily to the differences coming from Photoshop. I absolutely HATE the idea of going back to my Adobe subscription but this is something that is just going to drive me insane trying to work without. Very sad 😞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kianne Posted November 17, 2023 Share Posted November 17, 2023 I’m here to add my voice to this thread as well. It is a much needed feature! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
