Reveal not working in Windows crop?

[GrahamMYC 21]

The new Darken/Reveal option on the Crop tool does not seem to work in Windows; or I have not understood it. There is no tutorial that I have found that explains the new functionality which appears to be very useful.

Click Darken. Drag the crop inwards. Area of image outside crop area is a bit darker, helping to highlight the area you will be keeping.

I can't find what Reveal does. I had thought it might, when expanding the crop area, reveal previously cropped areas, but no joy here.

According to the Help:

• Reveal—when checked, displays areas of the document outside of the current crop. Useful if you have already cropped the canvas and need to expand it again

Hello GrahamMYC,

I've logged this with the developers. Thanks for letting me know.

Presumably 'does not work'? I get what it should do but it's not happening for me on Windows.

The fault with reveal appears to have persisted into AP 1.7

Here is a video demonstrating what happens. 

(unclip canvas reverts to the original image)

Not working for me either

It's working in the 1.7 beta but not the currently released product

I am quite a noob at AP so I am quite proud that I think I can recover my cropped picture. Although Darken/Reveal does not appear in the context menu I decided to fiddle around (I think it's call investigative exploration). After cropping and saving a photo I dragged the edges of the image out producing a blank grey edge extending from it.  I selected apply and lo and behold the original image was re-cropped to a new image.

Hope this helps.
