Nero Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 Please could you add golden ratio grid overlay into crop tool? I think it's much more useful than snail and thirds are... just thirds (somewhere on the photography blog was kind of discussion if artists really use that.)) Thanks a lot! Seems I have to switch into other software just to crop my pic (if i don't miss something). Quote
Ron P. Posted March 17, 2019 Posted March 17, 2019 @Nero It's already included. You can cycle through the overlays by pressing O. Then with the Golden Ratio overlay, pressing Shift+O will flip it around. Teefers and Ninjas 2 Quote Affinity Photo 2.5..; Affinity Designer 2.5..; Affinity Publisher 2.5..; Affinity2 Beta versions.

Nero Posted March 17, 2019 Author Posted March 17, 2019 But still thirds not golden ratio (golden is just snail spiral). Even on the screenshot above. Thx @Ron P. for advice anyway. Quote

Thx @Ron P. for advice anyway. I was pointing out where you select which overlay. Yes I know on the image I had the Thirds overlay. Here's the same image with the Fibonacci Golden Ratio overlay.

ChrisWFuji Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Can I second the request for a Golden Ratio overlay to be added please? (Capture One and Photoshop both call it this). I use it a lot for landscapes and it would be great to be able to do all cropping in Affinity. Ninjas 1 Quote
Manix Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 And third request for a Golden Ratio overlay from me :) The AP ver. 1.8.3 doesn't have it. Quote
jones52 Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 Hi, I'd also like to suggest adding the golden section (or golden ratio, phi ratio) grid to the crop overlay as its effect is more subtle than the thirds. In the Renaissance it was called the divine proportion. Jowday and deebz 2 Quote
lasssha Posted December 10, 2020 Posted December 10, 2020 A 9x9 grid overlay would also be lovely 😊 Ninjas 1 Quote
RichardMH Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 I try to use the harmonic armature e.g. https://thomaskegler.com/files/documents/compostion.pdf. It would be useful to me if it was also included. Ninjas 1 Quote
Jowday Posted December 12, 2020 Posted December 12, 2020 Now that Photo support PDF, SVG and of course .afdesign files and has a pen tool itself it would be smart if Photo also supported a custom overlay - select file, done. onenine81 1 Quote "The user interface is supposed to work for me - I am not supposed to work for the user interface."

TOC Posted February 22, 2021 Posted February 22, 2021 My suggestion to the designers of Affinity Photo is to provide a Golden Ratio overlay , besides the Thirds Ratio, Golden spiral and Diagonals. As I read in this Forum group there is a great need for it. Nero and Ninjas 2 Quote
onenine81 Posted November 16, 2024 Posted November 16, 2024 Does anyone know if you're able to import custom overlays for the crop tool? I have png files that I used in Lightroom but now that using affinity I was hoping I could use different overlays other than the handful that are provided. Quote
RichardMH Posted November 16, 2024 Posted November 16, 2024 Its doable but a bit clumsy. I have the overlays in my assets, drag one in as a new layer which I can position using the Move tool then crop once I get something I like. Quote
onenine81 Posted November 16, 2024 Posted November 16, 2024 Thanks! Better than nothing. I'll definitely be doing this. Quote
