I tried in Elements, but couldn't do it.  Whippet, in PSE14 one has to set the marquee width to 1 pixel manually. That may be necessary in your version as well.

Thanks Rita! I use PSE14 and had the same issue. |

I did try that, Rita, but got a notice up saying 'No pixels selected' - even though the ants were galloping around.  |

Make sure FEATHER is set to 0

It is too high for the size of your selection. For this kind of selection (1 px), you need to set it to Feather = 0 px. |

Thank you both. I shall try again.
I have never touched the feather, as I didn't know anything about it.
That must be why I have had the same problem in the past.

Stretching pixels is a lot of fun! Here are a couple - first using an image from Pixabay and the second is a fungus I found in the forest.   Tony |

Tried this using Affinity Photo as it has a mesh warp tool which PSE doesn't. More practice needed I think but I enjoyed the practice so far... Image from hiresolutionfreeimages...  |

I have been doing this for as long as I can remember (in Digital Scrapbooking, we call it 'pulled pixels') but I've never seen this technique applied with better ingenuity than I've seen here. You guys are always so talented when it comes to taking an idea and running with it. I have often used this technique when I needed a coordinating background for a layout, but bending it and curving it is brilliant.
One can be less precise in the selection process, though. Just grab the marquee tool and make a selection of your photo - put it on it's own layer - and pull sideways. You don't have to use only one pixel of width - you don't have to use the entire height of the photo.
The warning about the feathering aspect of the marquee tool is a good one. Thanks for that reminder.

For whatever reason my computer didn't like the 1 pixel selection and would immediately start the twirling beachball of death.
I had remembered that you had posted about this and went back to find it. It was only after that that I was able to move on.
Nice to see you stopping by.
