Okay, after reading you material and watching a few more clipping mask videos, I finally got it. What I did on the current image, rather than starting completely afresh. Grouped all the layers into one While still cropped I added a rectangle to cover the whole image. Resized the canvas to show more of the area, enough to get the border Then made the rectangle as a clipping mask for the group. That did it. I just then added another rectangle the size of the canvas. Dragged it to be the bottom layer, and filled it with the border color I wanted. And viola. It worked. Many many thanks for guiding me in the right direction.

Wow, very responsive group. Much appreciated. let me absorb all you guys have mentioned and try it. But essentially, after I imported the raw, made basic exposure adjustments and then after going into develop persona, I used the crop tool to straighten the image, and trimmed the image to remove the newel exposed transparent images. Cheers.

That's correct.

Hello all, I just bought Affinity Photo, so this may be my lack of understanding. I edited a Nikon NEF file, straighten the image, and made various layer edits to it. I wanted to add a white border, so I resized the canvas by a few hundred pixels. But the image rotated inside the canvas counterclockwise by a few degrees, and top part of the image got truncated by the top edge of the canvas. I have attached the clips of the 4 edges for reference. What am I doing wrong.
