The single row Marquee tools (row and column) can be used to create pixel stretch effects.
If you find an image such as this one that contains a gradient that you wish to capture and use elsewhere (e.g. as the background to an element on a web page), use the single column marquee tool.
Here I have selected a gradient using the 'column' tool.
Once you have selected the column of pixels the selection can be copied to a new layer via [ ctrl - J ].
Finally the new layer can be expanded to fill the desired area via a 'free transform'. Hit [ ctrl - T ] or go to the 'edit' menu and select 'Free Transform'. Control handles will appear on the layer and thus it can be stretched to the desired size.
More interesting effects can be created with images like this one.
It has a sharp colour transition that produces a very nice effect.
