Help with Canvas Resize and Color

[Azak]

Hi,

I am bit of a newbie and have reviewed some youtubes and has searched but have not found a suitable answer, hence my question here

Affinity photo v1.10.1 on Mac OS catalina.

 

My steps:

 

- Document --> untick Transparent Background

- Document --> Canvas Resize

Added 10mm to current size so that it will add border to image/document

- Center the canvas resize

- Canvas resizes, but the color is somewhat grey/brown of the canvas

- I was expecting white canvas color so that it becomes a white border to document.

- What am i doing wrong??

 

Thx in advance

Hi Azak,

Welcome to the forums

This should be working fine if possible could you provide a screen recording or screenshot demonstrating the grey/brown colour you are seeing?

Thanks

Do you have any layers in the document that are "somewhat grey/brown"? It could be that you have a fill layer or placed file which extends beyond the old and new size of the canvas.
