Extend an Image with a white area,

This feature would be like using a crop tool, only that when you frame an area bigger than the image, the extention would be a white addition to the image (or maybe a color of free choice)
The idea is that this would allow you to let lines and sequences go outside the original image

We have something like this that we are looking at for a future version. Basically you could set a padding value for the image (maybe each side of the image) that would be filled in with a color. You could then add any annotations as needed.
That would be a great feature. +1
Agreed - It would be a great feature.
It'd be really useful to be able to add annotation _around_ an image rather than on top of it.

P.S. MacSnapper does this very well: http://www.kedisoft.com/macsnapper/doc/Drawing_outside_an_image/index.html
P.P.S. MacSnapper is *very* similar to ScreenSteps - is this convergent evolution?!
I think MacSnapper was released this week. It could be convergent evolution, but from the looks of it I don't think it is likely :-)
On a related note, I was looking to do a simple workflow diagram and I realized that SSP has most of the tools (boxes, text, lines and arrows) already available. Right now, I just take a screenshot of a white document and then start adding elements, but it would be great to have some sort of resizable "blank canvas" available.
