 |
|
Hi everyone. I'm new here, and I'm also pretty new to photoshop.
I shot a photo of a musician, and in the photo his hand is too near the edge of the picture for my taste. I think it would look better if there were a little more space between it and the edge of the print. I'm thinking there is a way in photoshop to simply add an inch or so, the background is grey-ish, and I would like to just extend the background, or add more of it, I guess you would say.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Angela |

Just isolate the BG and duplicate it and place below the body of the musician and then nudge the duplicated layer towards right to get the extra pixel of BG  .

Before you can do that you need to increase the canvas size so your work has room to expand. Edit>Content aware scale may be helpful too (after expanding the canvas, select an area near the edge with the rectangular marquee tool and drag it out into the empty area).
