jimmyleg Posted November 9, 2019 Share Posted November 9, 2019 I saw it done online somewhere recently but can't find it. How does one let 1.7.3 Affinity create new pixels on the alpha borders of a severely cropped image? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan C Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Hi jimmyleg, Welcome to the forums My apologies, are you looking to expand the size of the Canvas around your image, without changing the size of the image? I'm not 100% certain what you're looking for in regards to 'creating pixels'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmyleg Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 Dan C. - Yes. After cropping an image outside of its border the canvas will show alpha strips on the border. Can Affinity create an intelligent extension of the image on that alpha strip? I thought I saw a video of that process, but I can't be sure *grin*. If so, how do you do it?

Can you provide a screenshot showing those alpha strips? That's still unclear (to me, at least ).

Staff MEB Posted November 10, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 10, 2019 Hi jimmyleg, Welcome to Affinity Forums cmd + click (ctrl+click on Windows) the thumbnail of the pixel layer to create a selection around its contents. Go to menu Select > Invert Pixel Selection to select just the empty/transparent parts then go to menu Edit > Inpaint to fill them in (make sure the pixel layer is selected in the Layers panel).
