juliand Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 in Crop > Mode, there are no longer any presets and apparently no way to create them. i hope this is just temporary, because this is pretty vital for a quick workflow. also, where can i post feature requests? i would really like to be able to have the crop move on all sides together sometimes, say if one pressed a control key. it is tedious to have to move every corner separately.

Staff MEB Posted December 3, 2018 Staff Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hi juliand, Welcome to Affinity Forums Crop Presets are now managed/created clicking the small cog icon in the context toolbar (with the Crop Tool selected), then clicking on the small menu icon on the top right of the pop-up that will appear. For suggestion/feedback, please create a new thread in the Suggestions for Affinity Photo on Desktop section.

juliand Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 thank you for such a quick response. as you suggest, i have found and tried the cog and its dropdown, seen lots of splendid presets, including just the one i want, but i am utterly unable to select it or apply it. i have clicked the small menu icon at the top right, but it just opens a slightly larger version of the dropdown, and still i cannot select anything. is there a video showing how this is supposed to work, please?

Staff MEB Posted December 3, 2018 Staff Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hi juliand, It's not working for me on Windows either (but works fine on Mac). This issue is already logged to be looked at and should be fixed in one of the upcoming beta builds.

juliand Posted December 3, 2018 Author Share Posted December 3, 2018 many thanks for letting me know! i shall stop struggling with this one for now, though unfortunately the reason i turned to the beta in the first place (apart from general interest and keenness) is that i am having trouble with the crop mode presets in the main stable release and i was hoping that i could get the job done in the beta. sadly, it looks like i am stymied both ways at the moment. i have posted a bug report in the stable release section of the forum with the topic title 'Photo 1.6.5.135: unable to delete user-created preset', but it has not been accepted yet.

Staff MEB Posted December 3, 2018 Staff Share Posted December 3, 2018 Hi Rick G, Since the Crop Tool as well as the other features you mentioned are new in version 1.7 the documentation/help file is still being completed/worked on while we are on Beta. The final/retail release will include re-written help topics covering all changes and I'm sure there will also be new video-tutorials explaining how to use them.

The most recent Photo beta for Windows was Nov. 23. i have the nov 23 photo beta, but i didn't know about the new publisher beta, so thanks for that (hugely grateful that there is a heavyweight, budget alternative to InDesign). i still wish there was some kind of alert i could sign up to find out when new betas or new versions were released by Affinity.

Thanks The question about creating crop presets was answered in the 2nd post in this thread: You create the crop settings you want, then click on the cog icon and use the hamburger menu to create the preset.

Once you have setup the crop you want, you should find the "create preset" will be active. Did you set it up first?
