Resize Canvas (Affinity Photo Windows Beta)

[artphotopro]

I am using Affinity Photo Windows Beta v1.5.0.39 and have run in to a problem with resize canvas, its only seems to resize 3 edges e.g. top,bottom and left, those edges get the correct canvas added but the right side gets no canvas added.

 

Have I done something wrong on the canvas resize or is it just bug ?.

Hi artphotopro,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

I'm not able to replicate this here. Do you have cropped the image on the right side before resizing the canvas?

Also do you set the anchor point in the Resize Canvas dialog to the center?

Hello,

Thanks for the quick reply,

The image is 40"x28", resize canvas = plus 3" on height and width, anchor point "centered". the image i attached was the output from the "resize canvas" screen grab.

if you require any more info just ask.

Hey artphotopro, what is your anchor set to in the Resize Canvas dialog? If you set it to middle node does it work correctly?

hello,

 the resize canvas node was set to centre, when i set it to any other node it does the same thing

Just went to do my first canvas resize and find there is no percentage option, which means getting a calculator out. Unless I've missed something?

Hi Howard Worf,

You can use math operation in the input fields. For example add *50% to the existing value to reduce it to half, or +300px to add 300px.

Alternatively you can also use a different notation: *=50% (replacing the existing values) to reduce it to half. For more information about this check Affinity Photo Help ▸ Workspace ▸ More ▸ Expressions for field input.
