At step 4, the operation makes the background image smaller. That is not what the OP wants. Where in your instructions does it regain its original size after the "cropping" that occurs in step 5.

Scale the image larger in step 4. It never occurred to me that I'd have to explicitly state that you shouldn't shrink something if you want it to become larger. OK, fair comment. However, the OP wanted to take an image, crop it to a give a smaller part of it, and end up with something the same size as the original. So when you said "drag a corner of "Background" to resize proportionally" I assumed (and we know that's dangerous) that I should scale smaller to do a crop, rather than larger. Thanks for an interesting tip. That's not an approach I would ever have discovered on my own.

John What’s confusing you, John? As @owenr points out, the method that he and @toltec described uses the canvas as a window onto the image.

Guzzi Posted August 22, 2018 Share Posted August 22, 2018 In Photoshop, I have different setting options in the Crop tool than in Affinity. If I enter once width / height / pixel, I can crop all the following images in this format. These settings are retained even if you restart the program until I change them again.
