sjhand Posted August 31, 2017 Share Posted August 31, 2017 Hi, This might be a dumb question, I normally use photoshop / illustrator on a pretty basic level and am trying out the Affinity software. Anyway, when opening up a PNG/JPG in the Affinity software, resizing it by selecting 'Document setup' and changing the dimensions, and then selecting a part of the image with the Marquee tool, copying and pasting it with 'New from clipboard'. The new image has a transparent border as if I selected it using the feather option. It might be my lack of knowledge but I have no idea why this is happening, or how to disable this select option. When I paste it into Photoshop for example it also has this border, so I guess the error I (or the software) make is during the selecting/copying with the Marquee tool. I have provided some screenshots for clarity, hope someone can shed some light on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff DWright Posted August 31, 2017 Staff Share Posted August 31, 2017 Hi sjhand, Welcome to the forum Can you please use the transform tab to check that the shape is 300 x 300 and with no decimal points Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjhand Posted August 31, 2017 Author Share Posted August 31, 2017 Hi DWright, Thanks for the reply. The original image is 300 by 300 pixels, then I resize to 200 by 200, and select ( for example ) a 70 by 70 pixel area with the marquee tool. When I paste that from clipboard however, the new image is 70,7 by 70,7 pixels, with a transparent border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue was logged as a bug, however, as far as I remember.

But it's pretty frustrating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
