Resize canvas while working - meetdilip - 11-05-2020

Today I was making a digital notice. The work I did took the whole scene because I was using a wallpaper as base/background. At one point, I could no longer add text inside the background/canvas and would happily wish for some extra space at top or bottom. I remember reading somewhere that we can resize canvas in GIMP. But I am not sure whether it is possible in 2.10.20 and while we are already working full canvas. Any help on this will be great.

Maybe, Image - Canvas Size ?


RE: Resize canvas while working - meetdilip - 11-05-2020

Any FHD image. Canvas size 1920x1080.

As Krikor's post, Image -> Canvas Size example: https://i.imgur.com/CULto7P.mp4

or you might have been thinking about using the Crop Tool in Allow Growing mode example: https://i.imgur.com/i3Trmxb.mp4

My bad, perhaps due to the lack of formatting, I thought it was question.


Thanks @Krikor @rich2005 Very helpful Smile
