Joachim_L Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Maybe there is an option or workaround? Step 1: Menu "File" "Place", pick an image and open it Step 2: Move cursor with placing cursor to e.g. top 20 mm left 20 mm and simply click Result: Image is placed centered (middle of image) at the desired position. So if I want the images top left corner at 20 / 20 mm I have to manually move it.

walt.farrell Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 You could: Click and drag rather than simply clicking. Or Create a Picture Frame at the location you want (which also involves click and drag, but with the Picture Frame Tool), and click inside of the frame to place the image.

Joachim_L Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Of course I could. But why is the image placed centered? I mean if I place and drag the image will resized and positioned from the upper left corner.

It does seem rather inconsistent that clicking and dragging results in different placement than clicking without dragging. In both cases it should only be centred if a modifier key is used; Ctrl/Cmd would be the obvious choice for this.

Staff Gabe Posted April 2, 2019 Staff Share Posted April 2, 2019 Hi all, Sorry for the delayed reply. I've moved this to Feature requests as this is the standard behaviour across all the apps. Thanks, Gabe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This behavior is especially odd when one considers that after placement, the transform proxy is located at the upper left as one would expect. So why do Affinity applications disregard what is obviously a default transform proxy position? The standard behavior ought to be that the click position utilize that default.

I would prefer it to use the setting in the transform studio. We could have a choice for it in the preferences.
