Meredith,
I’m with you– this seems strange to me too. I think it would make more sense to have image and canvas size independent. You’re not crazy or below a 6 year old’s intelligence as the last post seemed to imply.

Here’s my problem…
I want to print a portfolio page with the image centered a certain way on the page (along with printed crop marks). The only way to do that in Photoshop (as far as I can tell) is to set the appropriate image size and then adjust to a larger canvas size to get the crop marks to show up properly. Unfortunately, this adds a huge number of white pixels, increasing the file size. I don’t want a larger overall image, just a larger canvas (so I get output crop marks). Seems like a pretty straightforward wish– don’t think I should need to go into Illustrator or InDesign to do it. Does anyone know a way to do this in Photoshop?
