Hi there,

The best way would be to crop, then set the background colour to white, then go to Image > Canvas Size and increase by however many pixels looks good.

Hope that helps!

thanks! good stuff. I'm just learning.

My crop tool doesn't do what your crop tool does, though. It won't allow me to grab a side and resize - it wants to rotate the entire selected area (I just made a video of that to send to a friend who is trying to help me learn long distance).

any ideas??

Sorry for the slow reply.

Make sure the cursor is hoovering on the crop line (it should turn into an up-down arrow). If you are rotating the crop boundaries then you are possibly dragging too far away from the crop selection. Let me know if you're still having probs?

sorry for MY late reply - computer was in the shop!

I figured it out! There were presets in the option toolbar. Once I cleared those, everything worked just as I wanted.

Thanks for the reply :)
