Whistler's Daughter, 2016
I extended the canvas size and replaced the picture frame that got cut off with a photo of the entire frame. I then used fill>content aware to add more of the curtain and wall to the top of the image. I adjusted the brightness/contrast, removed an outlet from the wall, applied a filter, and used hue/saturation to change the subject's skin tone and the color of the curtain.
