All Media Lab Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Hi, It's the first time I use Affinity Photo and I try to keep my cropping exactly inside the document borders, but despite the Snapping function activated it doesn't snap. Procedure I used: Resize a document to 1200 px width and want to crop 627 px height (Facebook post image size). The crop tool is covering the whole width of the document like supposed to and I move down with the crop, but can hardly stay in the proper position. What is the best setting for the Snapping in this case? What do I do wrong? Regards & Thanks, David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Callum Posted December 22, 2017 Staff Share Posted December 22, 2017 Hi All Media Lab, Unfortunately the Crop Tool doesn't adhere to snapping I'm afraid.

HVDB Photography Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 You could .. Create a new file 1200 px X 627 px (same resolution as the original image) Then copy & paste the original image into the new file an use the Move Tool to resize and place the original to your needs Quote Affinity Photo 2.3.1 Laptop MSI Prestige PS42 Windows 11 Home 23H2 (Build 22631.3007) - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8565U CPU @ 1.80GHz 2.00 GHz - RAM 16,0 GB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
All Media Lab Posted December 23, 2017 Author Share Posted December 23, 2017 Thanks all for the tips! In my opinion the Crop tool should snap to the border of an image if needed. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems to snap properly for me, at least to the edges of the document, when I enable snapping with AP 1.6.1.93 on Windows 10.

Wikinger Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Bonsoir. walt.farrell a raison. le magnétisme (icone fer à cheval) permet l'accrochage du recadrage en douceur. Mais on peut outrepasser. (A p 1 6 2 93 et 1 6 3 96). DxO (par exemple) ne laisse pas d'outrepasser (recadrage se cale en bordure) mais affiche l'évolution en temps réel des dimensions (en pixels).

walt.farrell Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 If you have an unconstrained crop, AP (1.6.1.93) also displays the realtime size as you modify the size of the crop. 28 minutes ago, Wikinger said: DxO (par exemple) ne laisse pas d'outrepasser (recadrage se cale en bordure) mais affiche l'évolution en temps réel des dimensions (en pixels). AP 1.6.1.93 also displays real-time dimensions in pixels while cropping in unconstrained mode or absolute dimensions mode. I think it could be useful if it would do that in all cropping modes.

Wikinger Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Ok Merci Walt Je n'avais pas capté, du fait que DxO affiche en suivant le pointeur. Cordialement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
