Extending the Sky in a Photo Using Designer Pro

[diamondpacific]

Okay, we're creating covers for our stories and books that we plan to publish on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, etc.

We have access to some great free stock photos, but we need to "extend" the sky in the images, the same way it is explained with Photoshop here:

Can anyone help explain to us how to do it in Xara Designer Pro 11? We've tried the cloning tool, but we're obviously doing something wrong, as we can't get it to work properly.

Many thanks!

The PS tutorial seems overcomplicated but it's fairly easy to do in Xara:

Try a Mask over everything but the sky then select the Content-aware photo resize tool.
Just the two steps.
