How to change crop fill default in PS 2024?

Hi all,

 

Prior to the new update, I'd use the crop tool to easily expand the canvas around a photo in order to re-size to 5:4 for

Instagram. With the new update, I no longer have the option to expand with white and it automatically goes to

Transparent or Generative Expand or Content-Aware Fill. 

 

Is there a way to get the default of expanding the crop back to expanding with a color/canvas?

 

Thanks!

I see.

Checkmark "Delete Cropped Pixels" first before expanding the canvas. Select background color.

Hold down Opt/alt while dragging one of the handles to keep an even border around the subject.

(Been a long time for me.)

Well, I thought I did by toggling the "delete cropped pixels" but turns out, that somehow only worked momentarily.

 

Still at a loss for an actual correct solution.
