Hobbyist here.. I'd like to ditch PS, but I can't get all the results I want with AP. Although, I'm the first to admit, it's the operator, not the software. Hmm... let me rephrase.. "I can't get all the results I want with AP.. YET!

Just downloaded/installed these in AP...  They look FANTASTIC!!! 
Thank you for these!!

Not sure about Draw... But comparing their photo editing program (PSP) to AP, is like comparing a roller skate, to a Rolls Royce! And. YES, I've used both (The photo editing programs, not the wheeled objects  )

It make me thing of a strange and really colorfull (nearly too colorfull) stormy sky I saw in South-West of France, with violet, oranges and pink… I couldn't take pictures, but I won't forget it since it looked nearly fake and too vivid!

What a relief that must be. I've got a couple of websites that I need to finish in my new software and one more to sort out then I'll be doing the same. I can't get rid til I've sorted out the debacle that was caused by EOL of Muse. Can't wait to get to where you are. 

Please pardon the "Thread Necromancy" 
But, as of today,  I have finally cut the cord, and cancelled my Adobe plan! 

Casually mention that there is an unspecified deadline approaching for a yet to be specified project ... & refuse to say anything more about it?

I'll tell ya next week.... or next month... or........

Takes longer to describe, than to do, but.....
Under "Document", choose "Resize Canvas", and increase it, by the width of your choice
Add a pixel layer, drag it below the "background layer"
Use "Flood Fill Tool" ON THE PIXEL LAYER!! ( I need to keep reminding myself  ), in the color of your choice...I used black, in this.
 

Hi RobNJ,
I assumed AffinityNewbie7 was trying to add a white outine around images in the middle of a document as in his screenshot. If the image you are trying to add an outline has the same size as the canvas, setting the Outline FX to Outside is not enough since the outline will not be visible. In that case you have to enlarge the canvas as you were suggesting.
[EDITED] The outline FX create rounded corners as carl123 pointed below. It's really not useful for this.

Check out my night scape shot processed with Affinity Photo. Check who are on pier.

 
 

Thanks RobNJ!
Oh, by the way, I've just posted 2 new chapters as an update of the book so that now it covers curves, along with a practice chapter where we develop 3 photos from start to finish so you can see the workflow.

Got them both, for my favorite price.. FREE!!
Thank you very much!! 
 
If you haven't checked out his courses.. DO SO!  I now have four Affinity Photo, and one Nik courses, of his.
