suggest : option of border action inward without enlarging outward

Post by linkakro »

Currently the Border action enlarges the size of the picture to encompass it outward in border.

Even 1 pixel border can mess up size requirements, and compensating by adding (prepending) another sides crop action (or even worse editing a previous crop/other) are inconvenient for readability/intent/reproducibility with clear requirements imo.
(And Border action has a clearer intent than simulating with a Canvas_Resize or easier preparation than a dedicated watermark.)

:arrow: Instead i request an option in the border action to overlay the image without expanding the size.
I suggest either (a) a inward=overlay checkbox (b) support negative thickness input to mean inward.

Please and Thanks.
