I love your video tutorials. Thanks & please keep them coming !!!
This was great…never knew any of that was possible using the crop tool. Love your tutorials.
Thank you so much for you videos and the time you spend explaining photoshop! It is soooo helpful, and I have learned a ton from you. I visit your blog daily to see what else you come up with.
I was struggling with how to do this just yesterday. Thanks I really appreciate it. I just fixed my son’s profile pic against Lake Michigan from last summer!
Cool, Jodi! That was really helpful!! Can’t wait to try it!
Thanks! It’s so helpful to actually WATCH it being done!
Wow! Thanks Jodi! That sure does beat cloning the space!
wow!!! thank you i have been trying to figure this out for a while now. that was great and i can’t believe how easy it is.
Thanks so much Jodi for posting this video tutorial! I have done a little canvas stretching using the Marquis tool and then transforming, but I never knew you could add canvas using the Crop tool.
I have learned so much from your tutorials and I look forward to reading your site everyday!!!
You’re a genious!
Thanks!
Great tutorial Jodi, I’d done a slightly different, more labor intensive method. I really appreciate your sharing these tips and tricks!
What a great tutorial!! I can definitely use this!
Fantastic, Jodi. I have struggled with this problem in studio and always felt there must be a good way to solve it. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing….. You never disappoint me and I really appreciate the info you send out.

Jodi, Jodi, Jodi… you make it all sound SO simple!! Keep them comin’, please!
Fabulous tutorial – thank you!
Fabulous. I know I’ll be able to use this; it’s bookmarked! Thanks.
Thanks so much! Is there any trick to stretch the canvas (or resize) to get the correct print size (without cropping off a head or arm) with a photo that doesn’t have a solid background? I am new at printing and have run into this problem with converting 8 by 10s to 5 by 7s, etc.
I seriously love your video tutorials. Please do many more! They help tons.
Thanks so much always appreciate your help.
FABO instructional! Thanks!
Jodi!!! You ROCK! I just used this tip on a very crooked picture to straighten it out…WOW!!! Fantastic!!! Thank YOU!!

As someone who is new to photoshop (using about 1 year), this was VERY VERY VERY helpful to me! Could have really used it in the past and look forward to using it in the future!
Great tutorial Jodi
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Can I just say I love you for this!!!! I have always struggled with this issue and never thought there was a way to fix it!!! You have helped me SO much with this video!! Thank you thank you thank you!
that was awesome. would definitely like to see more of that. my question now would be, what if the background is not solid like those examples… would you use the clone tool?
[...] Step 8: Wanted a different crop with more room to the right. So I stretched the canvas as explained in this video. [...]
This video is exactly what I needed! Thank you, Thank you.
