I suspect you'll never be totally happy with the result of stretching an image... You're basically attempting to re-construct lost pixel data that simply isn't there... In my limited experience, you're almost always better off just leaving the image alone rather than expanding it. You can make it "bigger" by framing it centered in a "larger" image of transparent pixel border, and then your watermark will blot out huge chunks of it, perhaps, but it will layout okay, and at least the bits of image one can see aren't all chunky/ugly. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
