Staff MEB Posted February 22, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 22, 2019 Hi AffinityQ, In Affinity Photo (retail), with the cropped layer selected, go to menu Layer ▸ Rasterise to get rid of the cropped parts. On Affinity Photo Customer Beta the corresponding command is Layer ▸ Rasterise & Trim....

AffinityQ Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 MEB, Thanks. Yes, I see that is one way to do it - but doesn't it defeat the "non-destructive" thing? I suppose I could also crop the image, copy it and create a new document and re-crop (in Beta) to enlarge the area and re-sample... These seem like work-arounds to something which cumulative layer properties should account for since I still don't understand why the crop tool penetrates everything to override previous cropping... One thing at a time... Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeping and just "hiding" the cropped-off areas is what makes the operation non-destructive. As soon as you trim off the parts that were cropped away you are being destructive.

AffinityQ Posted February 23, 2019 Share Posted February 23, 2019 Additional suggestion: Could the cropping rectangle be nudged with the arrow keys? - moving it, not changing size... velarde 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_B_C Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 +1 for nudging the crop area with the arrow keys. Furthermore: Extend the settings for constraining from the Move Tool to the Crop Tool! Or define a new setting, if “Automatic” gets in your way! Just make the Shift key functional … it is currently under-used … ronnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manu schwendener Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 > When reentering the crop tool, dragging inside the existing crop will move it > Dragging the frame will always move the crop Both working in Beta 1.7.0.111, thank you :-) manuschwendener.ch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another bump for this suggestion.. It would be GREAT if we could nudge the crop area with the arrows keys (when defining the crop) One of the little things I miss almost daily from the "other" software...
