dolunaykiz Posted February 5, 2018 Share Posted February 5, 2018 What I'm missing is a quick way to reduce white space in my Designer documents, that is something akin to "Image | Crop" in Photoshop. Instead, I have to go through Document Setup every time, which is a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dolunaykiz Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 This is needed not just for Designer, but also Photo. Why is there no simple "image crop" function??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, Photoshop has a functionality where you can select something with the marquee tool and then Image | Crop, and it will crop the image to the selection. You can also not marquee parts of the image in Photo and then copy that part to the clipboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Affinity Photo doesn't have a 'Crop to Selection' command, but you can copy a pixel selection to the clipboard and then use 'File > New From Clipboard' to create a new image. 11 minutes ago, dolunaykiz said: You can also not marquee parts of the image in Photo and then copy that part to the clipboard. Yes, you can: you just need to make sure that you're copying a pixel selection. If the layer in question is designated as an '(Image)' layer in the Layers panel, right-click it and choose 'Rasterize...' from the context menu to convert it to a '(Pixel)' layer so that you can copy selected parts of it.

I must have not made myself clear. I know about the "copy from clipboard", which worked for me in Designer, but for some reason not in Photo. And yes, I was using the right persona in Photo. And in Designer, you don't have to be in a different persona. What I am saying is that in a future update, it would be nice to have a similar functionality. Right now, neither program gives me that, and I came to realize that I use that more than I thought, and the "workaround" just isn't cutting it for me.

I don't know why it didn't work for you in Photo, as long as you were working on a 'Pixel' layer rather than an 'Image' layer. As for the Persona restriction, that isn't particularly surprising: it wouldn't make sense to do this kind of thing in the Develop Persona or the Liquify Persona, but Designer doesn't have either of those.

dolunaykiz Posted March 27, 2018 Author Share Posted March 27, 2018 I know you meant to help, but this discussion wasn't particularly fruitful. I am requesting a feature, that is it. What I am requesting currently doesn't exist and should be added. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
