extend a background not resize the canvas

[mattthemat]

Hi there im looking to extend a backround not resize the canvas, i have a logo in the middle of the picture and resizing the canvas or image makes the logo too big or too small, I just want the backround to extend to prevent this.

Resize and Canvas Size are two different actions. You do want Canvas Size.

 

Click the Help icon and see the Documentation. Look at Menus -> Image Menu -> 'Canvas Size'

Resizing the image will affect the logo size. Correct.

 

Changing the canvas size will not affect the logo size. It will either place more space around the image (canvas = larger) or crop the edges (canvas = smaller). If you're seeing the logo become smaller then it is due to the zoom level changing to squeeze the enlarged image into the view window. Ctrl  + B  resets zoom to 100%.
