Image clipping on import to Affinity Photo

[bokehinthemembrane]

Hey all, I have a photo that isn't composed the best and doesn't have much space to spare at the top. When I open the RAW file in Affinity, it seems to clip the edges on all 4 sides. Ex A is a screenshot of the original RAW photo and Ex B is what it looks like as soon as I open it in Affinity. I left on a little margin space for reference on both photos. I expand the canvas size, but nothing is there. The original photo is 4000x6000 pixels and the file in Affinity shows as 6016x4016. Any help is appreciated!

Turning off Lens Correction is normally the "solution" for this

Even if you turn off Lens Correction, or have it on, there's no thick border applied. Your bottom screenshot looks like you applied a border. Did you apply a Outline FX? It seems like a Center aligned or Inside Outline has been applied. If so, after expanding your Canvas, you should use Outside, that way it does not encroach on the image itself.

For borders instead of using the FX, after expanding an image where I don't have much margin, I'll place a rectangle behind the image. I have more control over that.

Ah, lens correction - I was not going to come up with that. Photo fixed. Clearly need to watch more Affinity videos. Thank you @carl123 and @RichardMH!!
