graphos Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Hello. There is one more unpleasant moment in your wonderful program. For example. I need to crop the image, and this is done very easily and conveniently ... But after saving the image, the “trimmed” areas are also saved! It is necessary to frame in extraneous programs ... Cropping does not crop the image, but masks it, and this is not very good ... Maybe it makes sense that the frame of the crop just cut the picture, and not mask? Thank.

Mithferion Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 If I use the Crop Tool in a Text, and then export said text, the resulting image is just what I trimmed it to. Crop Tool and Export using "Selection with background": I open it back in Designer Best regards!

Guest Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Hello graphos, I don't know if my solutions are right for you, it may depend on the content of your drawing. 1) If your map is composed of curves, you can use thin lines at the points provided for cutting your drawing, these lines must extend beyond the drawing. With these selected lines, "Expand Stoke". Then select the set (drawing and lines) and do a Boolean operation " Divide ". Once "Dividend" is completed, select the parts to be deleted and press the "Delete" key. 2) If you have exported your drawing to png for example, place it in AD, "Convert to Curves" and add the cutting lines as before ("Expand Stroke" on the lines), do the "Divid" operation and delete the unwanted parts. In both cases the final drawing no longer contains the external parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graphos Posted November 15, 2018 Author Share Posted November 15, 2018 Thank you all very much! But still, it would be better if the frame cut off the images in order not to perform these dances ... But, apparently, they would not hear me again ... I understand a lot of work ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 @graphos, thanks for the feedback, it would be nice to have an option to keep or not the cut parts, depending on the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For destructive cropping, use the ‘Intersect’ command.

m.vlad Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 In case you have vectors and you'd rather not go through the trouble of intersecting every shape, you can instead use artboards as cropping tools. Simply create an artboard and size it to the rectangle you want to crop with. Provided you have snapping enabled it will snap to the edges of the rectangle afaik.

Having drawn and selected a suitable rectangle, you can use the ‘Convert Object to Artboard’ command to create an artboard of the desired size. m.vlad 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but unfortunately it's still not cropping the vectors if you need vectors as output. Real cropping in Designer is only possible when converted to pixels. Impossible with vectors if you don't want to go through all curves one by one and do a lot of work using the boolean tools. I need a real destructive vector crop tool too. Right now cropping vectors is a real pain and takes forever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
