the Set Image Canvas Size dialog where you have to adjust the settings of three groups:<br />

The Canvas Size group-box control controls the canvas size. The Width and<br />

Height values are inter-connected, i.e. when one value is changed, the other<br />

changes as well. Once they are disconnected, each value can be changed<br />

irrespective of the other. The pixels button opens the list of measurement units.<br />

When the values of Width and Height are increased, you can observe how the<br />

image changes its position in the working window; it can best be seen in the<br />

preview window:<br />

Note!<br />

The Offset group-box control allows you to set the location of the image in<br />

respect of the working window. Use the X and Y values to set the position of the<br />

image along the horizontal and vertical axis. The Center button lets you position<br />

the image in the centre of the working window;
