ASG Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I just joined Affinity and am on my first photo project. I want to straighten a photo and then add a border around it (increase canvas size). I straighten just fine with the tool and love it but when I try to increase the canvas it does it at the angle of the original photo. If I increase the canvas first and then straighten, it only straightens the photo but not the entire document so it's at an angle again. How do I do this? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Lee D Posted February 23, 2019 Staff Share Posted February 23, 2019 Hi ASG, Welcome to the forums. Are you using the Crop Tool in the Develop persona or the Photo persona as the Develop Crop Tool is destructive. If you take a screenshot after apply the Crop so I can see. Also when resizing the Canvas check to make sure the center anchor is selected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASG Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 This was done in the photo persona. Should I have done it in the development persona? I tried uploading screen shots twice and both times it failed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASG Posted February 23, 2019 Author Share Posted February 23, 2019 OK, I tried it in the develop persona and it does exactly the same thing. Once I try to increase the canvas it skews the original photo back to the original angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivanweiss.london Posted February 24, 2019 Share Posted February 24, 2019 Straighten and crop, then rasterise, then add the border. R C-R 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
