Hi, all,

I've been wrustling with changing my mind which has resulted in wanting to make a picture frame wider, but still frame the image.

I'd like to scale the outer border to a new location, leaving the inner border fixed.

Why not just recreate it (my voices ask)?

The original took a long time to create, bein' as it were a hobcobulation of WrapMap (thank you, ofnuts!) and PathBlend (thank you, RobA!).

I'll super-glue a image here. (No, wait! The upload displays "transparent" as, well, transparent! So, imagine that the frame ends with the last gray pixels, and I need it to "get bigger". I hope I'm not being too technical.)

Thank you for reading.

If I understand correctly, the following script should prove helpful:

Let me know if you have any questions.

I love your clever scripts!
I can't believe I've overlooked Extend to Image Size on your site before today.

I sure agree with ya there odin. Saul's scripts are great.

Perfectly.

Should be perfect, but not working for me and my v2.6. It runs through it awful fast.

So I have a square picture frame with a transparent middle and an outer transparent area between the picture frame and the image size.

I selected the inner transparent square and grew it five pixels to assure it wouldn't be scaled, then called the script.

It ran awful fast and left no apparent change. However, Edit offers to Undo Extend to Image Size. (The screengrabd result is attachd.)

(BTW for my future reference and any other needy people, the script shows up in Layer->ExtendToImageSize.)

I'm not sure but you may need to add a temporary background to the transparent part so the script has more pixels to reference.

Perform "Layer->Autocrop Layer" on your frame layer before running the script.

@Odinbc, Molly, and graechan, thank you for the kind words.

Suc Cess!
@odinbc
You had the essence of it.

I suspected that I was violating the spirit of the thing by trying to run this on a simple "1-layer" .PNG file.

@saulgoode
Precisely so. I needed two layers. My original, and a larger, image layer to stretch to.

I was telling the fine script to "stretch everything outside the selection to the image border OF THE ORIGINAL IMAGE (doh!) to the image border."

It ran so fast because the distance between the edge of the unselected region was already AT the image border. (No wonder the script stared at me in amazement after I asked for it multiple times...)

(In fairness, I returned the favor--opening and staring at IT. A work of art, saulgoode, not least for the spirit which motivates you to offer such as these to such as us.)

Thank you very much, all. You know how sometimes you just can't SEE something that's right there (in the example) until someone points it out to you?

Well, that pretty much describes my day... :^)

Cheers!
