Help image without bad stretch extension

Hi, I need help with an image. I have a file of 800 x 1280 which extends almost the double. This is the best I could do. Can anyone help with this? The edges of meteors has to match properly, and I don't want to have a visible line. I want it so that it seems as if it was in the original image. Must be the same size as this picture here.

Thanks for all the help, I really appreciate it. I'm not the best at image editing.

Hi gman5500,

First off I suggest you ensure that you use layers - duplicate your background layer and then apply the canvas extension and fill it with black.

Then, I guess you did a rectangular marquee around the tail of the fire thing, so I do--however, I'll put that on a separate layer so I increased control (by just hitting control J so it don't move from its original position. I also hope that you used the free transform to extend the tail. If you do this on your new layer, you should see that you always control Mode Layer, opacity and opacity fill above the layer in the Palette. By dropping the opacity of which is to become your tail you can move it so that it lines up properly. While you're in free transform, there are also keyboard shortcuts to do bit much all the distortion, you need. Now control and shift everything by entering the control central far left of transformation will allow you to shift up and down. Hold down the CTRL + SHIFT on the corner will pretty much what the "Perspective" setting in the menu right click gives you. If you hold down the alt, control and shift you will control the two angles on this side.

So after that little tail duplication and travel around a bit I had this:

You will see that I have a large overlap of the text, and I have narrowed the tip of the tail to give it some perspective. Also, we hope, you will notice that I added a layer mask to the layer of tail. This is what will give us a nice clean join.

So high, you'll want the gradient tool and to set your foreground on black color (D just hit on the keyboard). In the upper-left corner under the Edit menu, you should see your active gradient. Click here to open the gradient editor and make sure you have the second gradient checked - Foreground to Transparent. Make sure your tail layer is 100%!

Then draw a tiny gradient from right to the left between the ball of fire and the end of the original image. Stop at the beginning! Better you leave as much of your possible false tail there. You'll probably notice at this time that the lower left and at top left of the image are not quite right either. No worries! Simply apply another gradient to the mask on the problem areas, narrowing the surrounding light. Now, the problem may be that your text is obscured. You can brush it using the tool brush and black, or maybe go to a radial gradient and just paint in small radial gradients around the affected area. I actually duplicated the original layer on top, double clicked on the layer in the layers palette and then when 'so black mixture"moved the sliders until it looked natural. You should be able to find plenty of tutorials on the sliders "Blend if..." ». Learning of dollars.

Then I added another layer of white and used the clone (with a low flow setting) stamp tool to clean all the areas that seemed a bit strong. Here's what looked like the Photoshop document.

I realize that these aren't the basic techniques - the result is in any case perfect, but if you know how to use the masks and gradients of that sort of thing becomes very fast. It took me about 24 minutes to write this, but photoshop work took about three minutes! If you go just to store your first version with jagged lines, you might be wanting to use the Clone Stamp tool. If you want to add texture to the tail (because I don't like how it's just a choice) you can possibly use the patch tool or brush tool of healing on a brightness to paint in the retail setting.

Good luck to you!
