LilleG Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 What am I doing wrong? Coming from Photoshop (where it is very different and so much easier) I thought I finally had Resize Canvas figured out. Got it to work as desired several times yesterday using the exact same steps below. Today, using those steps, I get equal amounts added to the vertical sides, nothing added to the horizontal edges. Document > Resize Canvas Click on lock to unlock Change pixels to Inches Click on Center of Anchor Click in 1st size box 29.88 in + 1 in Hit Return…now reads 30.88 Click in 2nd size box…36.47 + 1 in Hit Return…now reads 37.47 Click on Resize And I get the amount added only to the vertical edges. The only difference between today and yesterday is that I did do a crop on this image. Is that the problem today? And is there a simpler, better, easier (any of those) way to add equal amounts (specified in amount of inches) to each side of an image? I want to create a color-fillable mat around my background layer. I don't mind changing the way I do things…if I could just determine what I need to change them to. Help, please?

Staff MEB Posted July 14, 2015 Staff Share Posted July 14, 2015 Hi LilleG, Thanks for your detailed report. Yes, seems the crop is the responsible for this. Instead of adding the margin around, Affinity is uncovering part of the cropped area. I 'm getting this issue logged to be looked at.
