Crop canvas before uploading to 'My Gallery'
complete
Blue
Oftentimes my own artwork is just a small portion of the overall artjam canvas it was drawn on, and therefore not visible when I upload to my Gallery. It would be very helpful to be able to crop the canvas preview to display just my own section, before uploading to my Gallery. For the record, the 'my Gallery' feature idea is great, thank you devs for adding it!

Sung Yat Yau - M Hi, was this feature not rolled out yet fully and / or is it limited to canvases that are not in read-only mode?
1) There's no crop feature when trying to post from the "View my Galleries page" > Add Drawing to Gallery > My Art Jams > Create post from canvas.
2) When trying to post to gallery from Art Jams > Participated in > canvas > Share > Post selection, the feature only works if the canvas is not in read-only mode, otherwise it doesn't allow me to select anything, thus not allowing me to post to my gallery.
Thanks!

LewDow Hi LewDow!
1.) Yes, that is true. The flow mainly works on the canvas level, so you would need to post by going onto the canvas and selecting the image. On a technical level, the reason why this is the case is because we need to detect which users are active in the selection, so users don't get listed as creators in art they didn't contribute in.
2.) Thanks for flagging - we just investigaged that and it's a bug to be fixed. We've taken note and will get it fixed as soon as we can.
Thanks for following up!

Sung Yat Yau - M Thank you for your reply and for looking into it!
I understand the technical limitations, however at least for me, I would have not guessed this feature is accessible via canvas > Share, if I didn't get the hint it's there.
I'm active on Magma for over a month and until now I've been posting to my Gallery only via importing a cropped screenshot, as it didn't occur to me that posting to My Gallery was possible via other place than My Gallery page.
Could there be perhaps a small hint somewhere in the UI, for example in Post to Gallery > My Art Jams > Create post from canvas, that would inform users that this feature exists and how to access it?
I feel like more people would be aware about it.
Either way, thank you for your time and effort to make this amazing platform better!

what I do is take a screenshot of my work, then crop, then import into a blank canvas.
