Hi

How can I create an action which would open a file and enlarge it eg by 30px at all sides? I mean the image would be 60px bigger in width and height and would get a white 'border' around. is there a chance to do that?

would be grateful for any help!

thanks,
marta

Open Photoshop
Open the actions window
Create a new action
Open any image you want
Image > Canvas Size
Change the units to pixels
Tick the box that has relative next to it
Change both width and height to 60
Click 'OK' to close the dialog
Go back to the actions window and click the stop button
Tick the 'toggle dialog on/off' circled in the image below

Your action is now ready to use.
