Hi.  Affinity photo on MacBook pro.

i am a new user trying out affinity photo before moving from LightroomCC so bear with my lack of knowledge.

i have opened a raw file, processed, then developed.

i am trying to crop before proceeding. The crop tool shows on pic with the move nodes on corners and on lines.

when cursor hovers over nodes I get the double arrow indicating I can crop but when I click and drag nothing happens, the cursor just turns into a cross with arrows.

it has worked on a previous picture but........

i have switched of Mac and rebooted but no change.

help!

peter

Let's try to reset the app. 

You can reset your app back to its default settings by holding down the CTRL key while launching the app. When the Clear User Data window appears, click Select All and then Clear. The app will now open.
 
Be aware that resetting your app back to its default settings will lose any custom settings such as keyboard shortcuts and brushes etc. To backup such settings before resetting the app, please watch our Affinity - Exporting User Settings and Keyboard Shortcuts video.

Have you tried other images (not from that camera) and how are you opening the file in APhoto?

Hi

i have now tried with raw files from canon 5d mkiii, clicked develop then tried to crop. Crop still not working.

i then tried with a photo I tried out affinity with when I first purchased in December. I had the photo in three versions,

aphoto, tiff, jpeg. All three from canon 5d.

i tried all three but crop did not work.

Out of interest does the Crop Tool in the Develop Persona work?

Either directly when opening a RAW file or if you re-enter the Develop Persona after developing the image?

We've found the issue. If you're using a trackpad, go to settings > Trackpad and disable "Force click and haptic feedback". Basically, with this option on, your trackpad senses the difference between a light tap and a hard tap. Light tap works like a normal click/tap, while hard tap tries to "quick look" in that area, and disabling the normal tap.
