The latest update to Lightroom has a generative expand feature now available. I believe it is something that has been available in PS for a while. I tried it out on this image I took in the backyard wildflower plot. I couldn't react fast enough to recompose when the incoming threat showed up. I used the new generative expand to "fix" my composition problem. Not something I want to use a lot, but it may be a decent salvage tool, as long as you aren't planning on using it for a contest.
Here's the original. The intercept aircraft is way too close to the edge to get any kind of decent composition.
And here's the version with the generative expand used. I may try and tighten things up a little. I wanted to try that after generating the extra section, but the software wouldn't seem to let me, without discarding the generated layer. As it's a new feature, I probably just don't know the right secret handshake for that. I can always take the saved TIF file and play with that, if need be.
