Hi everyone, excuse the newbie question and apologies if it's been asked before. Can someone please explain to me how the fill option works with crop allow growing? I thought it was going to be a kind of alternative way to resize a canvas but I'm sure I'm misunderstanding something. This is what I'm doing:
1. open an image
2. activate the crop tool
3. check allow growing
4. choose a fill for the extra canvas
5. make a selection that goes outside the image boundary
6. press enter
But, no matter what fill I choose, the extra canvas is always transparent. The GIMP docs aren't really any help but they do say "Transparency will be used if there is no material to crop". If that's the case then what is the fill for? I assumed "no material to crop" was the extra canvas and that's what gets filled.
