Barnwood backdrop extention?

[Robynmcgrath]

Is it possible to extend the wood at least down to the white baseboard or carpet/would it be fairly difficult and how?

[Damien Symonds]

Well, it might be possible.  Do you have any other photos (at any angle) showing more of the wood?

[Robynmcgrath]

I did not, no.  :-(

[Damien Symonds]

Ah, bummer.  And no chance of going back and doing so?

[Robynmcgrath]

This might have a tiny bit more?  I didnt really think to do anything like that.

well I could.  Its my chair, child, and barn door. I could try to take a picture of just the wood tomorrow at the same time of day?

 

[Robynmcgrath]

Or would that only have been worked if I had used off camera flash/studio lights and not window light(which will probably vary?

The same time of day would be helpful, but honestly, we can work with anything.  We just need a few nice clear photos of the wood with nothing in front of it.

[Robynmcgrath]

will this be okay?

 

[Damien Symonds]

Oh, yes, that's PERFECT!  Just mask that in behind her.

[Damien Symonds]

[Robynmcgrath]

Do you have a tutorial that explains how to do the angle?  And would it look silly to get ride of the carpet entirely?

 

[Damien Symonds]

Oh!  Well, if you'd like to get rid of the carpet too, that would be great!  You wouldn't need to change the angle of the wood at all, I reckon.

[Robynmcgrath]

I'll try working on it tonight once the kids are in bed and I can focus my attention.  Plus I might run it through raw class too before.  Thank you so much. 

[Damien Symonds]

How did you go?

[Robynmcgrath]

Im so sorry i am answering you after over a month. I had attempted this but i just got really flustered with the background replacing and I just was doing an awful job of it.

[Damien Symonds]

Well, I'd like to help, if you'd still like to do it.

[Robynmcgrath]

sure. I can try playing with it again if you think it is possible for me to be able to do it and make it look half way decent and believable.

[Damien Symonds]

Of course.

[Robynmcgrath]

Please dumb it way way  down for me and/or send me a link to something. With the picture i provided of just the door, do I need to try to warp it so that its at the angle....or it will seriously look okay as is as the background, even though in the picture that I am replacing it in is at a completely different angel?

[Damien Symonds]

Well, first, can you tell me what you decided about the carpet?  Will you keep it, or can it go?

[Robynmcgrath]

It can go. I hate carpet, and especially in pictures.

[Damien Symonds]

Fantastic!  Then there shouldn't be any need to distort the new background to impose any fake perspective on it.  You should be able to drop it in exactly as is, yes?  Then just mask it.  It should be very straightforward.

May I see where you're up to?

[Robynmcgrath]

you may....  but i had to start all over because i trashed my attempt from a month ago. and even then i didnt get very fair because the masking felt like it was taking forever and a day.

[Robynmcgrath]

Ive just started on the left side. 

[Damien Symonds]

Perfect! Keep going.  Are you using the shift key?  https://www.damiensymonds.net/2010/10/shift-while-brushing.html
