hello group,
It’s been a long time since I did photoshop and I seem to have forgotten a lot of things….
I have a nice winter landscape pic I want to use for xmas card snow, trees and a blue sky

I wanted to add some more sky to the top to be able to fit some text so I expanded the canvas
as I copy the existing sky to the top, the degradé (linear gradient) is lost how do I get some more blue that gets darker and matches the existing ?

hmmm ????

anyone an idea ?

thanks,
Guido

One way you can do this, if the sky is pretty much a solid blue, is to use the rectangle marquee tool to drag a rectangle from the top edge of the blue sky down a few pixels. Hit Ctrl T for get the free transform outline and click on the middle point on the top of the outline and drag up to fill in the top of your image. If you don’t have space above the image, you will have to increase the size of the canvas in that direction by the amount you need.
