I have a texture image in .dds file format. It needs to have a 1:2 aspect ratio but it's closer to 3:4 aspect ratio. I could crop it but I don't want to. The solution was to create a larger canvas and then place the texture layer upon it. Simple, right. So I installed an alignment plugin. The smaller texture layer was selected, the image was selected and I went to "effects", chose "center horizontally", there appeared to be some activity but the image didn't move. So I thought maybe it's an old plugin (it was made in 2007) so I installed another but it didn't move the image either.
It is a simple issue and it will apply to work I do with text and other images. Is it the DDS file format? Or is it how I am using the plugin? I have tried several options - not selecting the image, selecting the blank background. How do I make this work?
