Help with manipulating picture within frame


Recommended Posts

Hallo,  I have watched the official image tutorial and read the help guide and googled, unfortunately I was not able to find the following.  In indesgn you can have an image frame and insert the image.  Then you can minimize that Frame independently of the image and then move that image within the frame,  the options menu in affinity does not allow this, and I can not find anyway to do this in affinity?  Thankyou.

Microsoft - Like entering your home and opening the stainless steel kitchen door, with a Popup: 'Do you really want to open this door'? Then looking for the dishwasher and finding it stored in the living room where you have to download a water supply from the app store, then you have to buy microsoft compliant soap, remove the carpet only to be told that it is glued to the floor.. Don't forget to make multiple copies of your front door key and post them to all who demand access to all the doors inside your home including the windows and outside shed.

Apple - Like entering your home and opening the oak framed Kitchen door and finding the dishwasher right in front you ready to be switched on, soap supplied, and water that comes through a water softener.  Ah the front door key is yours and it only needs to open the front door.

Hallo Mac, I created a picture frame tool and then used the 'file' 'open'  dialogues to place the tiff image.

This is annoying!! Sometimes, I got this to work, but, because of using so much modifiers in combination with the „Properties“ panel, I can’t say, how I managed it.

The only way, it works reproducible (for me) is:

Double click onto the image, move it within its frame a litte bit, so that the frame background is visible Click onto the frame background. Now you can resize the frame without the image. This behaviour is kept, even if  you deselect the image and modify it again.

This nasty behaviour definitely has to be revisited by the Affinity team!

Oh Great a million thankyous, or would you prefer a coffee?  This works perfectly.  Coffee it is then with nederlandse koek.

 „absolut unterirdisch“! :)

Do you mean "dead on arrival?"

DeepL Translator gave me "Absolute Underground" or "Absolutely Subterranean" which I thought could mean "out of sight and therefore not usable". Which isn't as cool sounding as absolutely subterranean.

Apropos of nothing; DOA brings up memories of a Vancouver, BC punk band who stuck around for far too long, and as Punk Bands go wasn't very good. Joey $#!thead was far too full of himself, but he is still a fairly large fellow and so "Hey, its all in good fun Joey."

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

Absolut unterirdisch“ simply means „unacceptable“. Cropping, repositioning, manipulating images within its container is a „bread-and-butter-job“ in a layout application, and should work much(!) more streamlined.

I am so sad. I will convince myself I haven't read this. [sad-face emoticon] [Absolut-unterirdisch-face emoticon]
