I'm trying to convert my horizontal group shot picture into a vertical picture, so that I can print a 5x7 version of the photo.

Is there an easy way to do this?

The group picture was taken in front of a staircase, so there isn't a solid bakground color to clone.

Image specs when I open in photoshop:

pixel dimension: 36.4 M

width: 4368

Height:2912

Document Size:

Width: 14.56

Height:9.707

Resolution 300

Is this really a Photoshop issue?

I believe that right next to the 5x7 portrait (vertical) frames in the store, there are also 5x7 landscape (horizontal) frames. Or maybe you can turn the portrait frame you already bought to its side to make it a landscape.

Hello,

Content Aware scale was created for that purpose, but I'm afraid that it will look like those are the staiways to heaven

The issue is the frame where you want to place the image?

Because you could just rotate your picture/the paper orientation at print time using the landscape and portrait icons of Photoshop's print menu, and rotate the landscape print, so that it can print on your 5x7 printer: (the "C" buttons on this image.) http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-77aea.html

hit a few roadblocks.

I tried:

1. using the crop tool to make the canvas bigger with a transparent background.

2. Used lasso tool over people in group shot (total of 5) and saved the selection

3. Tried content aware scale to raise the image, but it keeps stretching out the people.

Any thoughts on what else I could try?

Did you save that selection as a mask?
