Help with editing this photo

[Alexandra Hall]

I was wondering if someone could tell me how to edit this photo. I want to get rid of everything on the right side and the background and just make it look like the bed is filling the whole frame. I have Lightroom 3 and CS2.

You could mask the female and the shadows on the bed and them composition her onto a stock image of a bed you would have to blend the comp layer and adjust colout and tone as you would with a composition so it looks like one image you will find lots of tutorials for compositions.

The important part is the shadows.

Umm, I don't know about putting her on a stock image of a bed.....never been a fan of doing extreme editing like that just to make the shot work.

I think for what you want to do, you will have to do a lot of cloning work in Photoshop just to remove the unwanted bits of the background. Just as well, though, that the bed is white and without print so it may be easier than it looks, but regardless, you need to be meticulous in cloning which areas of the bed to replace the unwanted wall/objects in the corner.

Or clone the black area and just replace the wall/objects with black. That would be simpler.

Or use vignette.

Or you can just simply crop this tighter to remove the unwanted bits. You will lose some of the hat, but that's just something you may have to accept if you really don't want the corner bit. Something along the lines as attached.

If CS2 has warp, select the existing bed and jump it to its own layer (Ctrl-J for PC). Enter Transform (Ctrl-T) and select Warp. Then just stretch the right and top sides of the bed.

From what I can see, this is more likely to give you the result you want than cloning.
