I just want to pad right on a product image so that I can overlay some text there. Here is the curl what I am doing:

> curl --request POST   
> –url [https://image-api.photoroom.com/v2/edit](https://image-api.photoroom.com/v2/edit)   
> –header ‘Accept: image/png, application/json’   
> –header ‘Content-Type: multipart/form-data’   
> –header ‘x-api-key: sandbox\_xxxx’   
> –form background.imageFile=@3de7b47c-a25e-411f-8159-b9deae2a9c92.png   
> –form imageFile=@yoga\_pants\_01.jpg  
> **–form paddingRight=0.3**

But, here is what PR rendered:

Why is the bottom padded as well?
