Thanks for the reply.
I've tried resynthesizer and the results are not very good with sky.
I've tried both resynthesizing transparent areas and resynthesizing
between a pasted section at the top and the existing sky at the
bottom.

Sky seems to be particularly difficult to resynthesize in a manner
which complements the existing sky in the image.

None of the articles I have found on LqR show its use for filling
transparent areas without resizing.
