(1) Create a new image of any size (200 x 200 for example). (2) Click the "+" by Advanced options, and note the "Fill with:" combo box / dropdown. (3) Click OK. (4) Go to Layer -> Transparency -> Add alpha channel (if you didn't select it during (2)). (5) Go to Image -> Canvas Size. (6) Change it to 300 width and 300 height, and click "Center". (7) Select "All layers" under "Resize layers:" (8) Click "Resize".
Note that there is a transparent border around the 200 x 200 center. It would be nice to have the same "Fill with:" option available in (2) under the "Advanced Options". Best regards, Rick C.
