The point of this thread was to find a better way in general to expand, I know the regular expand works fine, but it just seems like too much.

I must have not clearly enough given my explanation. i just believe that instead of cropping to selection, imagine.... Change size to selection.

Well, i know how to make the image bigger But let's say that you have an image and you want to expand it to twice it's size. You would just make the selection bigger and click "crop to selection." This would make it expand, but only because the selection is bigger.

Maybe along with this you could add an external workspace (in the grey area)

The Magic wand works SO much better.

I have been using PDN for about three years now and i think that could be easier to re-size the work field. Maybe when you click "crop to selection", if the selection if bigger than the image, it would expand to that size. I think it is too difficult to figure out the correct pixel size to change the image size to.
