  1. A strange thing - I can now create a border in the normal way by resizing the canvas on documents imported using open which failed every day for over a week - I haven't changed anything, and now it works. It's beyond my understanding.
  2. The problem I had was on a OS Ventura 13.2. I also use a macOS Catalina version 10.15.7. where I have no problems, but because of its age I can only run Affinity 1
  3. That's why I think it is a glitch in the software that only comes to light when using Mac Ventura 13.2 as nobody else seems to have the same problem.
  4. After much experimentation I now realise that I can only get the border with the extended canvas method, it only works when the image is dragged onto the canvas and then crop the canvas. Whenever I click open it fails to work. Presumably it's something to do with the software resizing the canvas automatically and the canvas and document become linked in some form.
  5. Thanks to anto, I just have to go to file and select place instead of open and everything is fine. I've spent nearly a week on and off trying to solve this and have aged by a couple of years - it just drives me nuts!
  6. The way I get a border is to extend the canvas around the document, then use the rectangle tool and cover the whole canvas, then fill with the colour I want, place the new coloured layer over the document layer and then I end up with a coloured border.
  7. I just do what works on Affinity 1. Go to File, select new then select A4 adjust to 300dpi then click on create - so that's my canvas. Next, go to file and select open and import the image that I want which will already be 300 dpi and maybe alter the size. So now the canvas will automatically be the same size as the document, then under the document heading, I select resize canvas (as in the screenshot posted earlier) and add the extra amount into the dialogue box, click resize and then the document and the canvas come out larger and both the same size.
  8. I've tried reducing the document size, I've tried increasing the the canvas size, Ive tried everything I can think of. When I used Affinity 1 and an older mac it works perfectly every time. It's all very frustrating!
  9. HI - Here is an image on the canvas before it is re-sized, when I add the resize dimensions and click resize the document also changes size so that i'm unable to get a border. I've tried "unclip canvas" and tried enlarging the canvas with the crop tool but nothing makes any difference.
  10. It doesn't seem to make any difference which method I use, the document and the canvas stay linked together. I'm unable to change the size of one without changing the size of the other. When I use an earlier version I.42 with a macOS Catalina I don't have that problem, which suggests to me that the problem is in the new software.

  12. I have the latest upgrade of Affinity Photo and I am using a mac os ventura 13.2. I am unable to resize the canvas to increase its size to make a border, every time I try the document also increases. Is this a glitch in the new software, or is there something else I need to know?
