UnicornTapestry Posted June 5, 2019 Share Posted June 5, 2019 In Photoshop, I repeatedly use the following procedure many times a week, sometimes many times a day. With magic wand, select background. Repeat with pockets of background as necessary. Clear, erasing the background. Invert the selection. (Hug the image) Crop. How can I replicate this with Affinity Photo? Thank you.

Dan C Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Hi UnicornTapestry This is possible in Affinity Photo, with the last step being the only difference. Unfortunately there isn't currently a 'cop to selection' option however the below forum post should provide you with a workaround for this!

UnicornTapestry Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 It's a terrible idea until you need it. Please don't misjudge me. I work in a production environment where I need to rapidly crop dozens, sometimes hundreds of photos for on-line catalogues, an environment where minimal bytes count. I'd love to migrate to Affinity Photo, but until I find a way to select and crop per above, I'm stuck. Thanks for understanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
