I'm working on a lithophane. The photo doesn't fill the entire space in the frame. I'm looking for a way to fill, blend or merge the area above and below the image. any help will be appreciated.

Re: Lithophane question
Couple of different ways off the top of my head, use a dish shape to the depth of the deepest part of the lithophane at the top & bottom edge not tried it myself but might work.
Not sure if the second option would work but I would have a look at making the picture slightly larger reducing the top & bottom bits a little, may need to play about with how much. You could probably model background at the top reasonably easily extending the slats on the right upwards & a bit of a pocket for the walls then at the bottom is there a line or two of text you could engrave about the picture ??

Re: Lithophane question
Another suggestion would be to change the shape of the dish.. a rectangle with rounded corners and enlarge the photo so it fills the frame;
Another would be to use an ellipse;
Use Photoshop and replace the background [I do this on most lithophanes especially old ones with ugly walls. Favorites are wood and stretched sunsets/sunrises].

Not sure why that suggestion wasn't one of the first things I thought of Dale Something I have to do quite often with printed vinyl for signs & vehicle livery
