I have a PNG that I want to add additional content to. For this I need to increase the canvas size of the image: Just make the image larger, but without scaling the existing contents (which the Adjust Size tool seems to insist on doing).
How can I do this?

This works well for me:
Select all (cmd+A) and cut (cmd+X) the image from its canvas (convert to png if asked).
Resize the image as desired from the "Tools" menu (unlock the proportions if desired)
Re-paste original image from the clipboard (cmd+V) and move it where you want it on the resized canvas
Use cmd+- if necessary to zoom out (you'll see checkerboard where the canvas is and white beyond)
Paste in other images, etc, as you like
