GrahamMYC Posted June 10, 2019 Posted June 10, 2019 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. Quote

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: Quote 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 AiDon 1 Quote -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

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

GrahamMYC Posted June 27, 2019 Author Posted June 27, 2019 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) AffinityRevealFail.mp4 Quote

Mr Grump Posted September 28, 2020 Posted September 28, 2020 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. Quote
