Photo Restoration Hints Number 25 Using Mirror Images for Canvas Wrapping

Want a great way to add a mirror image to your canvas so that you have a beautiful wrap all around the edges of your convas?  Of course you do.  I have been using Content-Aware Scaling and Plain old cloning around the edges or a nice colored edge to match using the tools in the print command....

However, I found this cool site again the other day.  I had seen this a couple of years ago and it helped me a lot.  I am going to share it with you now.  Go to this link on YouTube....  Breathing Color's Mirror Imaging Method for Canvas Wraps  There are people who have commented on other ways to do this using content aware fill...but I like this way because it is great for novice users and the examples are terrific.  27,000 plus people agree with me if you see the comments.

There are lots of ways to do the same things in PhotoShop.  Start with one way, get the hang of it and then go to a book or video and find a new way to do it.  It all adds to your bag of tricks and helps you continue to try new things.  Then, go and invent your own technique to get the look YOU want.

Just because someone does something one way doesn't mean you have to do it the same way.  That's the beauty of artistic expression.  Adobe Photoshop is the ink and canvas with which we work our magic as photographers and artists.  Make a little magic of your own today!!!!

Thanks for reading my quick blog today.  Enjoy the video.
