Jaffa Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I don't think that this is an option, is it? Have checked through the video tutorials etc and cannot see anywhere. Is there a workaround perhaps?

Fixx Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Crop tools are non-destructive. You can check this as you can adjust crop anytime to any direction. Cropped out areas are there behind the image area and can be restored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaffa Posted April 8, 2019 Author Share Posted April 8, 2019 Hi Fixx, seems I should have explained myself better. I mean that if I save what I have done the first day, including the crop, then next day open the Affinity file again then the original data before the crop is available. I tried this a short while ago and that does not happen. Would be very glad to be proved wrong!

Staff Dan C Posted April 8, 2019 Staff Share Posted April 8, 2019 Hi Jaffa Cropping is non-destructive until you rasterise the layer that has been cropped. At this point the data outside of the crop area is lost, making the crop destructive. I hope this helps! amyas and Jaffa 2 Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

Jaffa Posted April 13, 2019 Author Share Posted April 13, 2019 Hi Dan, most of my work does not need rasterizing, so unfortunately you are saying that there isn't a simple way around. I rarely use "place" and therefore Smart Objects. Thanks for the feedback though.

Fixx Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Your data behind the crop area should be available non-destructively as long as you save in affinity format do not rasterise the cropped layer do not merge the cropped layer with others (causing rasterising) Hope this helps..
