Hi - Is there anyone that is able to adjust this image - so that we are in the centre of the image - but obviously keeping the background a consistent colour (and a suitable ratio to print)

I can fairly easily edit out the bit on the right to get it all the same colour - but to move us into the centre I need to add more of the background to the left of the image - if that makes sense.

Would really appreciate any help if possible

Wow that was quick thanks so much.
I guess I can get a Normal 6x4 or 5x7 from it too if I crop in LR?

I’ll download it tomorrow and let you know when I’ve done it as I’m sure you don’t want it clogging up your Flickr.

Thanks again

Oh ok - sorry I don't think I made it 100% clear what I meant when I said about keeping it in a normal ratio. (I've downloaded yours from flickr - so feel free to delete if you - appreciate your help!)

What I really want to be able to do is print it in 6x4 - but to do this and keep us central (and enough space around us to 'let the image breathe' I think I need to add more background to the left of the image (centralising us) and obviously sort out the right side. I can get to a 6x4 by myself be editing the right side - but it means we are well off centre.

(I can just about get a 5x7 crop looking good - but again could do with a tad more space around us to make it look nicer!)


Is anyone able to help with that?

Thanks

Matt

Something like this ?

Crop the left and extend the right to centre the family ?

As it’s a uniformed background, should be simple ?

Thanks - Yes something like that would be great - But I don't have Photoshop so was hoping someone might be able to help me out as we like to send the photo to our family in their Xmas cards!

Ah I see, sorry.
 
As no one else has attempted this yet I had a quick go with Elements, which I do not normally use.Untitled-1 small.jpg
I do not have a Flickr account so if you want the full size I would have to email it. If no-one else produces a better version just PM me an email address, a temporary gmail one would be best.

Thank you both for doing these (I have downloaded it Petersmart) and also to @roll1later and @swanseamale47 who contacted me via messaged. Got exactly what I was after - really appreciate the time and help from you guys

Thank you!
