I normally don’t ask for help on these kind of things, but i’m going to. :beam:

I’ve hired a photographer to take this photo for a catalog. After everything was approved the client came back to me and said that it’s super important that the tape on the heat sinks be undersized by a bit.

I can’t arrange another shoot so I was wondering if there was an easy way to simulate as if the tape were undersized by the amount indicated in red in the low-res preview.

I thought I was okay in PS, but i’ve been tearing my heair out on this for hours.
