How can I extend one side of this picture that is cut off

[francesvief]

I've been looking all over Google and even found some topics here but none of them helped me. I've got a specific question: is there a way that I can extend this picture's left side so that the white car isn't cut off anymore? I've tried content aware scale as well but that isn't the right tool. I'm quite new to Photoshop (I know the basics) so if you have the answer for me, could you please explain it to me in simple steps? Huge thanks in advance!!

I doubt new content aware implementation will help much. It had to have database uploaded to rezognise objects.

Here is a (very) quick and dirty example. Do use the crop tool, not the content aware scale, and make sure "content aware" is checked at the top. Drag the left edge to expand the image. Content aware will fill with the other side of the car but you will have to clone out the excess pixels. Use other parts of the image to do so. You may need to create a mask around the car to make sure the shape is OK. I did this in 5 minutes and I know it looks bad - but if you take the time you can make it look a lot better. Need to fully clone the headlight - I did not do that. I just wanted to get you started.

If your original image does not contain that part of the car then the only way is to creat it in Photoshop using manula method as already mentioned.

Hi

You can't recover what's not there, therefore you have to build it by cloning and painting. The cloning can be from that image or others if you have them. Remember the clone tool can be set to reverse direction, scale and rotate as well as straightforward cloning

Be careful what you find there though:

Hahaha, Dave!

(We actually did see a saddled horse sans rider galloping down a major road a few years back...)

I think I've done it. I managed to copy the part from another picture taken in kind of the same angle. After that I just started copying a lot of pieces and putting them together. I managed to make this. Any opinions or tips?

Good job - better than my guess on the car shape above
