Christian Kogler Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Hi, I selected an area of a picture, copied it, then made a new document using the "new from clipboard command" and Affinity pasted my selection, but into a far too big canvas. It didn't take my command "new from clipboard" obviously. Could that be a bug? Quote

Christian Kogler Posted January 11, 2019 Author Posted January 11, 2019 What can I do to solve it? Tried it in photoshop version I have from work (but generally don't like and use ;)), but there this worked perfectly. Quote

Set the DPI of the new document to the same number as the DPI number of the one you copied from. If you want more details about how to do that, please tell us which Affinity app you are using.

Make a selection from the original imageEdit > Copy to copy it to the clipboard and keep the selection active 2.File > New From Clipboard (which is what you say you're doing)Document > Resize Document Note the resolution = width x height 3. Move back to the original imageSelect > Invert Pixel Selection press delete deselect the selectionDocument > Clip CanvasDocument > Resize Note the resolution = width x height 3. Compare both resolutions They are identical isn't it ? Conclusion : "New From Clipboard" does the job correctly !!

If you have any FX, or Live Filters nested (in mask or clip position), that require any distance input, that distance will be added to the canvas when doing New from Clipboard. Happens EVEN IF the FX is set to inside or the filter has preserve alpha checked. And It will still happen if the Live Filter visibility is turned off. It's also the case on Vectors.... with the added insult of, if a shape has an inside stroke the new canvas will be as big as if the stroke were set to center. Quote

It is possible I have misunderstood what you mean here but I do not seem to be seeing this, at least for vectors. Is it possible this has something to do with a preference setting, like maybe "Copy items as SVG" or something?

Or Just a simple stroke alignment? This is what I get with a simple stroke (copy as SVG or not). It's the same for the other scenarios... both AD and APh. Quote

I guess I am still missing something because what your GIF shows is exactly what I expect (& get) from "New from Clipboard" -- the stroke is the same size & aligned the same way in the new & original document, & both have the same bounding box W & H values. If you mean the X & Y coordinates change in the Transform panel, I am not sure if that is because in the original it is referencing the rotation center, which may not be set to exactly the same position as the center anchor reference in the new copy, or what. Or maybe it is just that I am old & easily confused?

I would think the canvas (that's what this thread is about right?) would be tight to the shape/bounding box. Quote
