I often find myself wanting to expand the size of an image (either horizontally or vertically) without otherwise affecting the image.

For example, I might have an image at 400x500 pixels that I need to make square (say 500x500). Cropping the image to 400x400 and then expanding it is not an option, and neither is making a non-proportional expansion of the image to 500x500; both of these would have a significant impact on the original image.

My work-around solution is to expand the size of the display window, open another instance of PMView so that I can "Capture" the image in the first instance, fill in the black background with the desired background color, and finally crop the result back down to 500x500.

This procedure seems like a kludge. Unless there is an obvious way to do this already (that I have overlooked), I would like to see an option added to change the size of an image by adding pixels, filled in with a default background; the opposite of cropping, if you will.
