DM1 Posted August 19, 2019 Share Posted August 19, 2019 The Apple Photos cropping is ,non destructive'. Effectively you are just masking the areas you think are cropped. You can test this by cropping, saving and reopening then expanding the crop. The previously cropped parts of the image will be restored. Affinity Photo also works this way. To make a 'permanent, albeit destructive crop in AP you need to rasterise and clip the cropped layer. Quote M1 IPad Air 10.9/256GB lpadOS 17.1.1 Apple Pencil (2nd gen).

Staff Dan C Posted August 19, 2019 Staff Share Posted August 19, 2019 Hi kc2dallas, Welcome to the forums I can see you have also emailed us the same question, I will copy my response below for you! When making changes to images via Apple Photos the original file is not affected - meaning you can always revert to the original image. This means that when you edit an image in Apple Photos, it actually creates a duplicate of this image and shows this instead of the original. This 'temporary' file isn't accessible via other applications, which is why Affinity always opens the original file from your Camera Roll. Unfortunately there's no way around this currently as far as I know, as Apple don't allow us to access the newly created image, only the original, my apologies.

Eefr Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 In the photos app, open the cropped photo, then tap the share icon and select duplicate, that will make a copy of the crop photo that you can place in AD Dan C, Paul Mudditt and DM1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesH Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 The best work round I found so far are these: If your iPad supports multiple windows you can just hover the photos up on top of affinity photo and drag and drop the image onto the canvas quickly. Go into the photos app, select an image, go to share and then go to copy image and then paste it directly into the canvas in affinity photo. You can also long press on the photo and just hit copy and then go into affinity photo and hit paste. All three of these methods will keep the cropping.
