You mean as if you'd photographed with a shorter focal length lens? If it ain't in the photo nothing can put it there. -- dadiOH ____________________________ dadiOH's dandies v3.06... ....a help file of info about MP3s, recording from LP/cassette and tips & tricks on this and that.

Morphing SOFTWARE can't widen the angle of view. You could: . crop so the image is wider compared to height, but the angle of view actually remains the same. . pan and stitch, so the final image has a wider angle of view . use a telecompressor in back of the lens to increase the angle of view, then crop so only the horizontal range is extended . use a telecompressor in front of the lens - also increases angle of view, but probably inferior to using one in back of the lens . use an anamorphic lens converter in front of the lens. (These were available for camcorders a few years ago for around US$100 to allow doing 16:9 recording on a 4:3 camera, but I didn't find any around that price now. Canon RATIO CONVERTER RC-72 for about US$250 was a close as I found. Note that these were likely made for NTSC camcorders, so the optical quality might not be as good as is needed now-a-days.) There also were some in the US$1000 range for use with projectors. .. use an anamorphic lens converter in back of the lens. (Think US$10K-25K Or, going beyond addons to your existing lens: I couldn't find any actual anamorphic lenses, but CinemaScope should have them and www.red.com seems to. Red Pro prim 25mm has about 56 degree by 31 degree field of view, about 1.8:1 (16:9 is 1.777:1) > > View from a rooftop in Wimbledon, London, UK > http://bayimg.com/aANiGaAcf.jpg > > View from a hilltop of Pao de Acucar, Rio, Brazil > http://bayimg.com/cAnIKaACF.jpg > > View from a rooftop in R.
