Crop leaves empty margins #5333

Closed Alaadel closed 2 years ago

Alaadel commented 2 years ago

Problem description

The Crop tool in the Animations Editor leaves small empty margins around the image. I am making a pixel art game and these margins are messing up all the sprites and tilemaps. So after a crop, I need to re-adjust each image manually to remove the margins. If you want to keep the current behavior, please consider adding a "pixel-perfect" option that would crop precisely without leaving any empty margins.

Attach a .c3p

Crop.zip

Steps to reproduce

  1. Double click the Sprite to open the Animations Editor
  2. Click Crop
  3. Zoom in near the edges

Observed result

A tiny margin remains visible, even though the image has sharp edges (i.e. no shadows or glow)

Expected result

A perfect crop (Clear-cut!), like most other image-editing software.

The 1px padding is by design. It improves the rendering consistency and quality, ensuring internal transparency blends the same way as edge transparency.

A close crop also already exists. As the tool's tooltip says, hold control and click the crop button to remove the padding.

Thanks! I didn't know that. The tooltip shows 3 actions: Crop edges, Crop animation, Close crop, but the crop submenu shows only the first 2. It would be nice (and save users like me some time :D ) if it can show the third one as well.

Thank you.
