104 Manipulating Images

To change canvas size:

1. Choose Canvas Size... from the Image menu.

2. Enter New Width and/or New Height values (the current values are also

shown for comparison). Alternatively, select the Relative check box to enter

the number of units you want to add or subtract from the existing width and

height values—for example, 5 pixels, 1 cm, 100 points, 10 percent, and so on.

3. In the Anchor box, click to position the image

thumbnail with respect to edges where pixels

should be added or subtracted. For example, if

you want to extend the canvas from all sides of

the image, click the center anchor point.

4. Click OK.

If the canvas size is increased, the new canvas area is filled (on the

Background layer) with the current background color and (on standard

layers) with transparency.

Cropping an image

Cropping is the electronic equivalent of taking a pair of scissors to a photograph,

except of course with a pair of scissors there is no second chance! Cropping deletes

all of the pixels outside the crop selection area, and then resizes the image canvas

so that only the area inside the crop selection remains. Use it to focus on an area of

interest—either for practical reasons or to improve photo composition.
