I'm having trouble with content aware scale

I had no issue with expanding the top of the image with CAS, but I'm having trouble with expanding the bottom. I did the smaller left portion as you can see from the screenshot because of different objects in the shot. I'm on macOS Sequoia 15.5

Correct answer LAMY2017

Kent, I've never used CA-scale, I always use CA Fill or generative expand.

Have you tried to use rectangular marquee then content-aware fill?

 

Anyway, I see lots of artifacts of cloning and such, not sure messing with your file in its current condition would improve things.

 

--edited to add--

1. cropped off the bottom that included the rectangular hole at bottom right

2. used the Crop tool to extend the canvas using Generative Expand
