AI Outpainting & Canvas Extension: Tall/Wide Hero Images That Stay Coherent
Extend beyond the frame without breaking realism. Outpainting adds safe area for crops and copy while maintaining perspective, textures, and lighting so your hero looks shot that way—not stretched.
Workflow
- Lock subject mask and declare do-not-change traits.
- Choose extension direction(s): top/bottom/left/right.
- Set light direction and temperature; match grain/noise profile.
- Add background elements minimally to avoid clutter.
- Export with target aspect ratio and safe margins.
Pro Tips
- Keep horizon height consistent across variants.
- Echo texture/lines from within the original frame for continuity.
- Use negatives to block halos, repeated patterns, or text artifacts.
