Photoshop troubleshooting – why have I got a gap around my background when I enlarged my canvas?
This is annoying, but there is an easy fix!
Sometimes when you enlarge the canvas in Photoshop you will end up with a gap around the edge of you image – and you have to go through the process of filling your background over and over each time with colour each time you enlarge the canvas.
There is a really easy fix for this senario – simply use a solid colour adjustment layer and remove layer mask. Now every time you enlarge the canvas your adjustment layer will automatically fill the area perfectly!
This is much easier than keep on going through the steps of selecting all and filling a layer full of colour to fill up that background, becuase you only have to double click the adjustment layer to change the background colour!
I am also lead to believe that this takes up less memory in your working file, which is a nice little bonus!
