How to Extend the shaggy rug

[LJC]

Hi Damien,

I want to extend the rug the kids are sitting on. And make a uniform background - one of my flashes didn't fire (think I can do this but the rug is really snarling me up). 

I know the focus is not the greatest, I'm ok with that. And will be doing a headswap or two from other images to get one good group shot.

Cheers

Well, you'll need another photo (or preferably several other photos) of the rug to borrow from.  Do you have any?

[LJC]

They are all much the same... I am kicking myself for not taking one of the setup without the kids. 

[Damien Symonds]

Is it too late?  I mean, do you still have the rug?

[LJC]

Not my rug and their neighbour kindly allowed us to use their lounge as my friends house was a little cluttered. 

I did get a couple of good group shots outdoors, but wanted to have this one too as they saw me take them.

Never mind, let's make do.

This is with the last photo Placed a couple of times, and masked on:

Here's a screenshot:

Should I do a fade from rug to wall perhaps. That dang shag is killing me !

[Damien Symonds]

No , a fade would look implausible.
