Question

Extrapolate background from small image into larger resolution

Hello!

I have a 527x739 photograph with a figure in the foreground and a simple gray background. I'd like to take the background, and extrapolate it so that it fills an entire 1920x1080 frame, then cut out the figure with a mask, feather it, and make it appear that it's sitting in a larger background that fills the frame. The problem is the background is lightly textured. When I take a portion of it and copy it and move it to the edge to fill out more space, there's an obvious separation and it looks bad. I cannot find a blend mode that will make it look seemless. 

 

Is there a way to blend it so that it fills the entire 1920x1080 frame and doesn't look like I've chopped up portions of them and stuck them together? Thank you!

I would pick a frame with the background as filled as it can be, choose Composition/Save Frame As/Photoshop Layers, then use Photoshop tools to resize the image and use Content Aware or AI fill to remove the figure. Import the PSD as Footage and choose just the new Background layer. Rotoscope the original footage to allow you to remove the background and isolate the figure.

    Thank you. The new generative fill is exactly what I needed
