Could be possible to enlarge the canvas of a previously loaded image ?

Hello,

I have a possible suggestion that I think could be useful.

When you use the New Image option in the File menu you can define and put the image size that you want and this will define the final size of the filter result.

BUT when you load an image or photo into Filter Forge directly using the "Open Image.." from the file menu, the canvas size is automatically adjusted and configured to the real size of that loaded image, and there is no option to change this.

I want to suggest to be able to enlarge the CANVAS SIZE (the area around the already loaded image) to the size that you want without modifying the original image size, and do this AFTER you have loaded an image, and even after you have already rendered that image with a filter, although of course you would need to re-render the image after this to fill with the filter effect the new canvas areas added.

Because there are sometimes, that using the distort filter, or with bomber textures, or other filter results that do not use seamless tiling, that are outside of the visible defined area and would be good to enlarge the canvas size so you could also put those missing areas inside the filter result.

I do NOT want to enlarge the size of the photo image as this would obviously involve making interpolation and have a resizing computing to make it, so this is not what I am suggesting. For making this there are already many very good softwares available.

For example that you load an image of 3000 x 4000 and then want to resize the canvas to 4000 x 5000, the image size will be kept the same.

WORKAROUND POSSIBLE ALREADY NOW

I know that is possible to load the same image through the "color control" component and then use the "new image" option in File menu to define the canvas size. But I think that this is not the best way to do it.
