Resize canvas after crop

[Villebon]

Having problem resizing canvas after a crop. With the middle anchor point selected, canvas will rezize only on three sides, omitting the side that was cropped. I do not have this problem with an uncropped image. What am I missing?

Hi Villebon, 

Could you demonstrate the issue you are having with images or a video?

I am having the same problem. I simply wanted to put a frame or outline around my image.

Hi MatsF,

Do you have reveal enabled on the context toolbar?

Yes, reveal is enabled.

Here's a video showing the problem:

Your recording looks correct to me, unless I’ve misunderstood what you are trying to do?
In the recording you use Resize Canvas, hence the spaces added top and bottom of the image afterwards.
To resize without getting the spaces top and bottom, you need to enlarge the whole document using the Resize Document option instead.

If the recording looks correct to you, then all four sides should have enlarged.

I see what you mean, but what I think is happening is;
The Crop tool in Photo is nondestructive so when the image is cropped the rest of it is still there, just hidden or “Clipped”.
When you expand the canvas on it’s own the left and right sides just show a little more of the “Clipped” image.
Where as at the top and bottom there is no more image to reveal, as these areas were not originally cropped. And so you see empty canvas as denoted by the chequered background.

So what's the solution? Can't believe I'm the only one having this problem. Btw, Photoshop handles this without problem.

After you do the crop, do...

Layer > Rasterise & Trim

Then do the Resize Canvas

Perhaps a good use for Resample mode in the Crop Tool?

It allows the user to select the desired area, and Resample/Resize it to the desired size, in one operation.
