Canvas extension made easy

[Silverpenguin]

I've just done a tutorial on my blog explaining how to add canvas to your image and fill it with the original detail from the photo - meaning you don't have to waste time messing about with the clone stamp tool. I expect a lot of people will already know about using this technique but for those that do not...

Quick and easy canvas extension.

I used the below image for the step by step tutorial, showing how I gave the duck more space to swim in to in less than 30 seconds, whilst preserving the texture in the water.

Hope some of you find it useful

Thank you for posting this tutorial. Really easy to follow along with and learn the technique. I used Elements 7 for a try at this and it worked great.

Nice tutorial. And for those who have CS4 you can also use Content Aware Scaling to do this.
