Crop & trim


Recommended Posts

I can't find any easy way how to *really* crop the whole document.

The crop just changes the size of the canvas but it keeps the bigger layers intact. That's usually fine but my documents tend to become rather messy so I often want to get rid of all leftovers beyond the edges of the canvas. As far as I know I have to use Layer - Rasterize & Trim on each layer and that's rather tedious.

It would be really nice if you could add a new option "Trim" directly to Crop.

I get that AP's trying to embrace the whole 'non-destructive editing' thing, but often I really *do* need to chop things down, and it's really not easy to do so unlike every other graphics editing application I've ever used.  I've been resorting to using Preview to do my crops and that's really kind of sad.

I have cropped this picture with the ellipse tool and the remainder is transparent.  I cannot figure out how to fill those transparent corners with a color/black.  Can someone help me with this?1937035260_ScreenShot2019-11-21at8_51_38AM.thumb.png.c6532176ba8e47b54f36ac1ca6432698.png

Create a pixel layer below and fill with black.

I'm not sure how to do that.  Can you write out the steps.

Thank you

I chose red then brown.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
