How do I stretch an image in Photoshop without distorting it?

Start from one of the corners and drag inwards. Once you have your selection made, choose Edit > Content Aware Scale. Next, hold shift and drag out to fill the canvas with your selection. Remove your selection by pressing Ctrl-D on a Windows keyboard or Cmd-D on a Mac, and then repeat the process on the opposite side.

How do I extend part of an image in Photoshop?

In Photoshop, select Image>Canvas Size. This will pull up a pop-up box where you can change the size in either direction you want, verticallly or horizontally. In my example, I want to extend the image to the right side, so I will boost my width from 75.25 to 80.
