Markbd Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Before when I added a canvas edge to my image via Image:Canvas Size, it would make a transparent edge, with any of the old uncrossed version still showing. Which sometimes meant very little creating image to fill the canvas size. Now when I do it , it offers me canvas edge coloured; black,grey and white but no transparent! Driving me mad, please help.

Samantha LaRue Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Can we see a screenshot of the settings you're using when you go to increase the canvas size? And a screen shot of what it's doing now that you don't want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markbd Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 So this is basically where i'm up too. I want to make the image up for a 36 inch by 20 inch canvas. Inside the blue lines is what I want the canvas to be, but I need a two inch edge for the wrap. What would be my next step please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markbd Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Before it was easy as I had transparent edges! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markbd Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 (edited) So this is what is happening when I crop to the size I want and add a 2 inch canvas edge. I want that to be transparent so I can see what i have to make up, if at all from the original uncropped version.

Christina Keddie Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I'm sorry, I have no idea what you mean by it having "any of the old uncrossed version still showing." Can you explain that a bit? Because I'm not understanding why you'd ever need transparency when you expand you canvas size. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samantha LaRue Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 i guess I don't understand why transparent edges would make this easier. I also don't understand what those blue guides represent as they don't appear to be even. Have you seen Damien's tutorial on preparing a print for a canvas?

Markbd Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 Sorry if i'm not making sense. The blue guides were to give a rough idea. The image above is the correct crop and size but I need to fill the white edges so I have continuous image all the way around. I'm sure before when I did this, I could use what I had cropped of previously to fill in the white edges. Does this make more sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use that tutorial of Damien's I linked above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then follow the canvas instructions, placing this file. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
