How do I make it shorter?

[Nigey]

Seriously, I know anything on the internet is normally, "How to make it bigger" but this is quite genuine. I have a client that has an image of a table and its shot to a white background.

He also sells the same table but shorter. How do I change my image to make it look shorter? I can't for the life of me work out how to reduce its length?

Hmm - chop out the middle section but this could be tricky to do realistically depending on the image - if you post it advice would be easier!

Ok, here we go, the offending image.

I tried chopping the middle out - just didn't look right - the lighting changes subtly across the table but it becomes obvious when you splice it.

Sorry!

I'm sure you could do something pretty slick with the vanishing point tool, and/or liquify. Can't quite get my brain into gear at the moment though.

I'd just ask him for the shorter table to shoot.

Make a selection of the lower part of the legs, then press ctrl J, load the selection, click copy, then paste into the original layer, make sure you have the original layer selected, select the move tool and move the selection to make the legs appear shorter.

Then use the clone brush to clean up the legs. I haven't done that.



This is a very crude and quick way to do it.

Content aware scaling if you have CS4 or failing that free transform should do the job nicely.

Better?


Problem is we dont know how much shorter to make it

Or what 'shorter' means judging by the efforts so far. Shorter as in length of the legs, or shorter as in the length of the table top.

Thanks everyone, so very helpful. Its all sorted now and finally have it worked out, thanks again!!

lol, I was just thinking the same here. It was actually the width I was talking about. Chinese whispers eh?

You mean length.

You mean length.

Now I did put length in my first post however it did cause some confusion. So I went with width. However it is probably my fault because I also said I wanted it shorter.
