RayBeck Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 I saw this YouTube clip and tried to replicate the first option in AP using the tools available. However, when I apply the second extension the original one resizes itself along one or more side. Can anyone advise what I might be doing wrong. I extend canvas by appropriate no of pixels. I then extend canvas again with appropriate pixels or inches. I have tried this on one layer and with duplicating layer for each step. See attached screenshot of what I get Quote
carl123 Posted March 13, 2022 Posted March 13, 2022 The problem is due to the Edit > Matte command you used after the first resize canvas command, which could well be a bug It also does weird things if after the Matte command you do a clip or unclip canvas To get around the problem just use Layer > Rasterise and Trim after the Matte command then do the second resizing of the canvas Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum. If any of "my" posts are wrong or appear to be total b*ll*cks they are the ones generated by the AI. If correct they were probably mine. I apologise for any mistakes made by my AI - I'm sure it will improve with time.

If you want to change the canvas size, and not keep the aspect ratio, then click on the padlock to unlock the ratio. Type in the amount you want to increase, hit enter, then resize.

By second extension i mean the 2nd re-sizing canvas. i am hopeful the solution suggested by Carl123 will sort this. Thanks. Quote

That sorts it. Thank you so much for resolving this for me. Quote
