New Post: add white bars/background wider than a portrait image (centering the photo)

I sure will! Check out your list and consider PayPal depending on how big your 'wishes' get. Haha. I am having one problem. The ultimate goal is for the sidebars to be white, or even transparent. Yet, while I was testing I was substituting (in image.Extent) the new MagickColor("White") for new MagickColor("Black") for better visibility on whether the code was working. Now, switching to White is not having an effect, it's the weirdest thing. Here is what I've tried so far...

Image.Extent(1200, 629, new MagickImage("White"))

Image.Extent(1200, 629, MagickImage.Transparent)

Image.Extent(1200, 629, Color.White)

So far they all continuously give me Black. Any ideas?
