Extent will either chop off the Right side and/or Bottom of an image, or put a black border along the Right side and/or Bottom.
Chop Right Side and/or Bottom:
300x300 image. Resize @ 250x275 Extent
This results in 50 pixels missing from the Right side and 25 missing from the Bottom. But the rest of the image is unaltered.
You might want to use this method to chop off part of an image before framing. Or chop off part or all of the frame to give it an off-center look.
Please note: no exclamation point is needed when using Extent.
ADD Black Border to Right Side and/or Bottom
300x300 image. Resize @ 350x375 Extent
Results in the original image remaining intact @ 300x300. But now it has a 50 pixel wide Right side black border and a 75 pixel high Bottom border.
You can now annotate or draw on these black borders. This is what I did with the title image and the following:
Click on image to see it full-sized on a black background.
If you want the black side to be on the Left, then before resizing, go to Transform and Flop.
Or if you want it elsewhere, then Flip for a Top border, or Flip and Flop for Top and Left side border, before using Resize/Extent. Remember, there's always the Back button if it doesn't turn out right. Also, remember to go back to Transform and Flip and/or Flop again to orient the image correctly.
