Change image background colour when cropping Is it possible to change the black background colour to another colour (e.g. white) when cropping an image that is smaller than the crop size?

I'm using the "image styles" settings in Drupal 7 to first scale the image to the correct width and then cropping to get the desired height. This results in some of the images having black borders that really don't look nice (and the client doesn't like).

Any other suggestions to fixing this would be appreciated.
You could try with ImageCache Actions module. Enable Imagecache Canvas Actions module that is shipped with ImageCache Actions and than change your style effects order to:


Scale
Define canvas (set your color and scale dimensions)
Crop
