I have a PNG image that I need to widen about 5 millimeters to accommodate a bleed for printing. I’m trying to take a slice from the edge and append it to the same edge to create a wider image.
So I use the Rectangle Select and select a thin slice. Then I copy it and paste it back into the image. But it pastes as an outline only with no color fill. When I try to move it into position at the edge of the image, it remains only an outline with no color.
I noticed that if I paste it into a new image, it has the color fill. But then I try to copy it from the new image to the original image, it’s only an outline again.
With a bit of googling, I learned that the slice I copied was a “floating selection.” At Google’s suggestion, I tried “anchor layer” and the image is the same as it was originally. I don’t see the new copy and pasted slice.
So Google said maybe the canvas is too small to show the added slice. So I enlarged the canvas but I still don’t see the new slice.
What am I doing wrong? Very grateful for any assistance.
