Canvas Extension Colour

[chewyuk]

Hi - Hoping this hasnt been asked before, but for the first time ever and looking at Hoodi's images I want to start putting a border on my shots.

Have managed to do the basics, but I am looking for the Canvas extension Colour dropdown bar to change thew background colour and I can't seem to find it .... :thinking: :thinking:

I would expect to see it after resizing the canvas, but it doesn't appear.
I have Photoshop 7 if that helps.. :help:

Cheers,
Chewy

You have to flatten the image so that the first layer becomes a 'Background' layer. Then go to Canvas Size, and the drop-down should be available
