nicecap Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Hi guys. I have a photo from which I would like to use a cropped portion and rotate this part around a bit. the result object still has all the rest of the photo and on top it is so much bigger due to the rotation. How can I cut out an rotate and the result is only the rotated portion of the original which I can use as a background without the waste around it - and export it? Thanks for help Chris Quote
firstdefence Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 You would need to rasterise the layer by right-clicking the layer and selecting Rasterise. Rasterising is a destructive process so it will remove anything not within the document bounds. You should be able to export this image as is by using File > Export... and selecting Whole Document, Export will ignore anything not within the document bounds.

nicecap Posted April 26, 2019 Author Posted April 26, 2019 Hi firstdefence. Thank you very much for the hint. I just found the function "Flatten" under Document and it did what I was searching for. I'm not sure whether this is the same as "Rasterise" but in the end both commands did the trick for me. best Chris firstdefence 1 Quote
firstdefence Posted April 26, 2019 Posted April 26, 2019 Flattening will give you a single layer, you can also do merge visible, this creates a similar layer but retains the donor layers. https://affinity.help/photo/English.lproj/index.html?page=pages/LayerOperations/merge.html?title=Merging and flattening Quote iMac 27" 2019 Sequoia 15.0 (24A335), iMac 27" Affinity Designer, Photo & Publisher V1 & V2, Adobe, Inkscape, Vectorstyler, Blender, C4D, Sketchup + more...
