This is true. If you hide that black layer, you're going to see the transparent 'checkerboard' around your image. If you want, you could make another new layer, fill it with white, and put it behind the black layer. That way, if you hide the black layer, you'll still be able to see your image over a white base. Not sure if that's what you're after though... |

If you copy and paste your 7X9 image into "Layer 1 7X9" then the black layer I created at 12X12 will be behind it like wot you were trying to do. |
i see - ok, but i still have other layers - lots of them |
So, send the black one to the back! |

yes i think a white layer does look better than the transparent checkerboard.

ahhhhhh, now I see what you're trying to get it to do.
I don't think that is possible. All layers have to be the same size. Are you trying to do an on-screen presentation via Photoshop, or are you going to save various versions of the layer arrangements for the web or for print? |

yes kind of like an on-screen presentation, then when the client is satisfied - print - working on layers is best as i can make new layers for every bit of change and delete the one bit the client is not satisfied with. |

Ah haaaaa
I see now
As jperez said I dont think this is possible but I'm no expert. I've looked through my wee book and I cant see any way of achieving what you want....sorry

That is kind of a stumper. One possibility is you could try and create the _illusion_ of the image window growing or shrinking in size.
After you've made your black layer and your white layer, increase the size of your canvas again so that when you fully expand your window the whole canvas fills your screen. Leave the black layer alone, but refill the entire white layer with white again so it has no transparent edges. Then when you show and hide the black layer it looks like a black matt is being added and removed from a photo laying on a white desktop. (Photoshop has a couple of full screen viewing modes like this available at the bottom of the toolbar, but they are grey and black backgrounds...so they probably wouldn't work like you want them to...if somebody knows how to change the full screen view background, I know I'd be interested to hear how.)

| I would create a new palette, 12 x 12, with the same dpi and a black background. Then, copy the smaller image over to the new palette and center it. |
