Jakey80 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hi, I need this picture in a square format for website, have extended borders at top and bottom, as shown. How do I now use the colours in the model, i.e. the grey backdrop to fill those areas and blend? is there a way of copying a selected area and just pasting it into the white areas above and below perhaps? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted June 4, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hi Jakey80 You could use the clone tool to duplicate sections of the image into the transparent area find out more about this here - Alternatively you could select the surrounding colour using the colour picker tool and then paint using a brush in the transparent area! The easiest option in my opinion however would be to try inpainting the area, using the following instructions:Select>Alpha Range>Select Fully Transparent, Select>Grow/Shrink (grow by 2px), then Edit>Inpaint. I've attached a quick screen recording of this in action!

gdenby Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hi, Jakey80, Another way. Make a rectangular marquee enclosing the space under the legs. Copy that, and paste. Stretch the paster pixel rectangle from the visible bottom to the empty bottom. Merge down. Repeat for the upper section.

Jakey80 Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 thanks gdenby, doesn't seem to work exactly for me....taken thin strip of grey available below with rectangular marquee tool, then copy and paste, can only seem to paste a box that you can fill from set colour swatches (see top area) rather than just an exact copy of the backdrop?

Jakey80 Posted June 4, 2019 Author Share Posted June 4, 2019 Dan C, thanks, great illustrative video. Followed and almost worked....any tips to not get that bottom area error? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Dan C Posted June 4, 2019 Staff Share Posted June 4, 2019 I'd simply use the clone tool after this process to remove any unwanted areas Quote Please note - I am currently out of the office for a short while whilst recovering from surgery (nothing serious!), therefore will not be available on the Forums during this time.

carl123 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Stretching the pasted pixels is the way to go but you will get "noise" when you stretch. So you need to Denoise (Luminance) the stretched layer. Bottom part comes out OK but matching the pattern (noise) on the top half is harder. All depends how much time you want to spend on it. gdenby 1 Quote To save time I am currently using an automated AI to reply to some posts on this forum.

gdenby Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Hi again, Jakey80, Sorry for the slow follow-up. Wasted a bunch of time trying to make a quick animation, but that is something with which I have minimal skill. So, attached, a few screen caps. Select a portion. Copy and Paste. Stretch the copy. I used gaussian blur to reduce the noise. (I suspect at web resolution, the noise will not be noticed) Merge the visible layers.
