Cropping a shot that has no outside area
Hi- People often send me photos of their home that they want in a header. But they take the shot close up, so there's no room on either side of the home.
It makes it impossible, in my view, to crop it to even a 980x434 size, which is still high for a banner.
Does anyone have a trick? I'm uploading a photo. The actual size I have is 5184x3456. I need to try to crop it to 980x534. In my opinion, that means I need to add content to either side in order to get the whole home in. No idea what to do, and any advice is most welcome. Thanks! I have Photoshop CS5 or Adobe Illustrator CS5.

I was thinking more like this, but you would have to play with the sizing so the blurring blends in better with the main image e.g. the left roof looks a bit odd whereas the right side doesn't look distracting.

I like both ideas, thanks everyone!
In the future, ask your customers to shoot a few photos .... one of the left .... middle .... and right.
Then stitch them together into a panorama and crop to suit

Both great ideas, thanks!
Actually, Left and right will probably do, so long as there is some common area in the middle.

This will produce by far, the best results

Thanks, Eirman- great idea, but I was in a hurry, so the other ideas were more to my needs.
Not to worry mel200 .... maybe next time
In general, it's always worth waiting a day or so after the last reply before closing out a question.
