Staff MEB Posted February 19, 2015 Staff Share Posted February 19, 2015 Hi oliverblackwell, Welcome to Affinity Forums :) Which program are you referring to? Designer or Photo Beta? I'm assuming its Designer (they are easy to discover in Photo) but since these are typical functions of Photo Beta i'm a little unsure.

Staff MEB Posted February 28, 2015 Staff Share Posted February 28, 2015 Hi Oliver, Those functions are usually performed on a photo editing application like Affinity Photo. In Affinity Designer Images are treated differently, as objects, this means you crop them at an object level, not at a document level. The only way to get a crop similar to a photo editing app is to use the crop tool as usual and then rasterise the layer to get rid of the cropped area. You also have to manually resize the document to fit the new cropped image size. Likewise there's currently no concept of "merge" in Affinity Designer. Maybe we can add this as a menu command when two pixel layers are selected. As a workaround you can group two pixel layers and then rasterise the group to get the same effect. Linked layers aren't currently supported/implemented neither in Affinity Designer nor in Photo. matt.baker 1 Quote A Guide to Learning Affinity Software | Affinity Quick Reference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alatis Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 To 'merge' to pixel layers, you can group them, then rasterize them. Hope this helps! matt.baker and Wipmate 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
