StevieB Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 I don't know if this is a bug or not but when you select the Crop Tool, the pasteboard background becomes transparent and it looses the edges of the document. I've attached a couple of screen grabs from the App Store version and the new Beta (103). The files both had a transparent background as I was cutting out the image.

Staff Chris B Posted November 29, 2018 Staff Share Posted November 29, 2018 Hey StevieB, We've changed the Crop Tool so that it adds the transparent background to indicate that if you extended the crop past the image boundaries you know you would be getting empty space around the outside. If you're using a transparent document it looks like you could get a little bit lost as to where the original image boundary starts—especially if you don't have rulers enabled How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevieB Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 Thanks for clearing that up! Could be useful when you want to extend the document size, at least you know the extended bit will have a transparent background. Just did this test to extend the document area by 500px to the left: see screenshots. 1- Added a vertical guide at -500px 2- Crop to that guide 3- Guide now at 0px, document 6500px wide. Works well, but you have to add the guides by using the Guide Manager. The crop too does snap to the document bounds so you shouldn't lose where the document bounds are, but you have to have snapping enabled!

Staff Chris B Posted November 29, 2018 Staff Share Posted November 29, 2018 @StevieB I reported it as a bug when I first saw it so I'm not surprised it caught you out... Now I know why, it does make more sense. @fde101 Yes I was thinking that How to format a bug report | Learning Resources | List of V2 FAQs | YouTube Tutorials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu schwendener Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 > We've changed the Crop Tool so that it adds the transparent background Please let me go back to the darker / not transparent background like it is in 1.6.7. * . For me, all the background around the photo needs to be darker than the photo itself. * For example via Preferences -> User Interface manuschwendener.ch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
