  How to stretch pixels across a page

  Posted by Justin Mettam on January 3, 2019 at 6:13 am

  I would like to know how to stretch a hairline sample of pixels across a page.
  I hope this screengrab illustrates what I am trying to achieve.
  

  So eventually I would end up with a streak of color traveling horizontally across the page. There would be no resemblance of the original image only a block of streaked colors remain. I hope someone can help me with this.

  Thanks in advance..

  A simple method would be to make several copies (like 5) of the layer and then offset them horizontally progressively further from the original. Then merge those 5 layers, keeping the transparent background and repeat the copy-offset-merge operation a couple of times.
  If need be, do a horizontal directional blur to even out the result.
