Archived discussion. This page is a verbatim copy of a thread from
community.ansel.photos, the Ansel community forum, which ran from March 2023
until it was taken offline in June 2025 after the site was compromised — a counterfeit
site had been planted inside the forum software, so the whole thing had to come down.
The original address was https://community.ansel.photos/view-discussion/enlarge-canvas-module.
You can check this copy against the snapshot in the Internet Archive.
Answers may refer to older versions of Ansel, and image attachments did not survive the shutdown. Current discussion happens on GitHub Discussions .

I often require an enlarged canvas. I always crop my portrait snaps to a 4:5. I do not like 2:3 portrait. In this sample, I do not want to loose any of the vertical real-estate. I would like to add canvas to the left.

The pipeline is not in a state that allows to safely add this feature at this point.
