How to manually crop a picture and move it inside a picture frame ?

[timme]

Hi,

Does anyone know how to resize a picture frame, keeping the original picture size, allowing users to manually select a specific part of an image? How to move a image inside a picture frame?

Thanks

You could try using any shape tool to create a frame. The click "Insert inside the selection" button top right.

Place Image Tool, choose photo, click the frame. To move only the frame make sure lock children is ticked.

Another way to do this is with the Layers panel, just drag the photo on to the frame.

Hi timme,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
If you don't want the image scaling when you resize a picture frame, click the Properties button in the context toolbar with the picture frame/Picture Frame tool selected and set it to None.

To move the image inside a picture frame double-click the picture frame on canvas then adjust the image position dragging it (you can also scale it). If you do this the scaling option of the picture frame is automatically set to None.

Hi is it possible to replace the cropped content with the same size pdf and keep the scaling and position (eg swapping a CAD drawing after having it changed)?

unfortunatly after swapping the content it always scales to 100% and position is centered.
Indesign is doing that 

thanks for your reply

Do you mind please choosing a different username as the current one may confuse some people as to whether you are staff or an application representative.

I do not think it is possible to do the replacement you are asking for, though I have wanted it to do this too myself
