You can use any selection tool and then select the Patch tool.īefore I show you how to use the Patch Tool with Content-Aware, I want to demonstrate how the it can be used to clone an isolated area of your image.
Tip: You don’t have to use the Patch tool to define a selection. Just make sure you are working on a duplicate background layer, or using a separate empty layer – not your original background layer. It’s that easy, but you probably won’t get a 100% accurate result every time. The Patch Tool in normal mode removed some unwanted things (cigarette butts) in this image very easily and quickly.
There is also an option to use a pattern or Transparent, neither of which I’ve had a use for yet to date. I will illustrate this further on in the article. Although, I rarely use it for that, it’s still an option. Or if you are in Destination Mode, this can also duplicate, or clone an object. It is great for retouching larger areas of your image, very fast and quite seamlessly. What makes the Patch tool unique is that each time you use, it will give a slightly different result even on the same selection. So you can now work on an image using an empty layer. However, in Photoshop CS6, Content-Aware was introduced to the Patch Tool. This meant that you had to duplicate the layer that you were working on. Prior to Photoshop CS6, you could not work on a separate empty layer when using the Patch Tool, unlike the Spot and Healing Brushes. But, the Patch Tool uses selection-defined areas instead of a brush. It is similar to the Healing Brush Tool, in that it matches the texture, lighting and shading of the sampled pixels to the source area. The patch tool was introduced into Photoshop at the same time as the Healing Brush. The Patch Tool is primarily used to repair larger areas of an image, or get rid of any distractions or blemishes. These are the go-to tools for retouching and repairing your images. The Patch Tool is part of the healing brush set of tools. The Patch Tool is located under the fly out menu of the Spot Healing Brush.
