Perfect, almost... That was exactly what I was looking for. 1. Is there a setting I can modify slightly? When I transform the Marquee, it creates a transparent area on the opposite side I drag. I found that I can slide it back the others way, though not every design would allow for that.

Not what I was looking for, that allowed me to change the size of the marquee. Rather I am looking to have the content that is currently selected to be stretched over a larger area. What you described looked like it would have worked but it only change the marquee size. If I would do the same thing in photoshop it would drag and stretch the pixels that are currently selected along for the ride as I adjust the control handles. Maybe to help illustrate what I am looking to do... say I had a jpeg image of a button with text with a gradient from top to bottom on the button as well as text. Say I wanted to erase the text but leave the vertical gradation intact. Hope this make sense. I used the healing brush to accomplish a similar effect but any wrong movements cause the gradation to be messed up slightly. Am I making sense?

How can I transform a selection? In Adobe Photoshop the action was performed by creating a marquee selection and then hitting "Command-T" This would allow me to stretch an area thus removing an unwanted area. Thanks in advance!
