[Gimp-user] Need help with translucent image

[PieceKeepr <forums gimpusers com>]

I'm trying to expand a translucent image and keep the coloration even
throughout.  The original image is flat on top and fades to a darker color near
the edge.  I've tried everything I know how to do (admittedly not much) with no
success.  I attached a portion of the image to make it easier to understand what
I'm dealing with.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
