I have quite a few photos - generally portraits, where I want
to create some negative space.
Often, I want to swap the negative space - so that I reposition
my subject at the other side of the photo, LOOKING INTO the
negative space, instead of looking out of the edge of the photo.
Is there any way I can do this using photoshop, whilst leaving
the background looking genuine?
I can chop the subject out, but don't know how to fill the blank
with something that matches the surrounding background (ie a
specific tone of grey which lightens as you move left).
Is there a photoshop trick that'll try and guess the fill in
for me?
Thanks - and thanks to those who answered my last query. |

I'll be unhelpful and say the technique you should use depends on the background you want to extend.
Some things that work, for different backgrounds.
Gradient fill tool (using eye droppers to sample foreground/background/ start/end colours)
Copying a selection of the background to a new layer, and using the transform layer to stretch it out
Sampling the background and just filling it
Using gaussian blur to blend the edges
Using a gradient fill on a mask layer to blend edges
Using healing brush to match textures
Using colour replacement tool to match colours on edges
Very much depends on the image you want to work with, what you need to do. |

In PS FIlter->Distort->Shear. have that set on wraparound and it will move the space to the other side (you adjust this). May have to blend and adjust, but should work.
