I discovered that the "blank bit" - I don't think it is the canvas size as that stays as expected - increases after I have attempted adding the second border. In this case I added 40 pixels for the first border then 20 for the second. If I select Canvas Size, it gives me the expected value. Note that the size of the image in the CR2 pixel layer is much smaller than it should be.

After some more investigation, I must have done something "interesting" with my workflow. I usually do some basic things like clarity, exposure in the Develop persona then switch to "Photo". Whatever I have been doing has resulted in a large blank area on the pixel layer. I shall keep an eye on that from now on!

I have been using the two versions of Affinity for quite a while but using very basic functions. (I try to get the image as good as possible in camera.) I think I need to go back to basics. Thank you all for the replies.

Aha! I noticed that the pixel layer's image in the Layers view had a large amount of space on it. I duplicated the layer and applied Raterize and Trim to the duplicate and then it behaves as expected! Screenshot attached. I do not know why the original raw file layer has that massive amount of deadspace.

Thank you very much for the quick response! Just tried it from the raw image file. The image was not cropped and applying the second resize canvas to the original results in the new border only being on the bottom and right sides. I may have to create a larger white border then place a black rectangle on it.

I found out that if I select "Clip Canvas" or "Unclip Canvas" the monitor shows a massive amount of red to the left and above the image. It has multiplied the document size by two!

Did you get anywhere with this one? My annoying problem may be different though. I am attempting to add a large white border surrounded by a smaller black keyline border. Selecting the centre anchor point works for the first border but the subsequent border is added on the bottom and right sides only. In the attached I added the first as red and the second as yellow so they stand out.

I got caught with this too and thought I had done something interesting! Any way of disabling the default lens correction?
