Hello, I hope this is the right place to ask.

I want to expand some images which have the wrong aspect ratio, so some "reconstructing" is in order. To that I need to fill some areas, which is easy when there is just a flat colour. But when there is a gradient I have trouble. I can use the smudge tool, but it does not work as well as it should. Ideally I would like to clone a single line of pixels (the last one) to the rest of the image, which should look good enough. I don't know how to do this though, or if there is a way at all. I have Gimp. Is there possibly a trick or plug-in? Thank you very much!

edit: I selected the line of pixels I wanted to expand and used it as a brush, drawing it in the direction of the space I wanted to fill. Worked well enough. But I can't imagine there is no need for the function I asked about and there should be a plug-in.

Google says that gimp has content aware scaling. You might want to try that first before any more manual solutions.
