Patch Tool

The Patch tool repairs an area with pixels copied from another area or image. Like the Healing
Brush, the Patch takes into account the texture, luminance, and shadows of the background
image.
This tool can be used in one of two ways:

Define the place where the clone will be applied, then drag the tool to the source point.
Follow these steps:
z Step 1. Choose the Patch tool from the Toolbar.
z Step 2. Choose the shape and size of the tool in the Options panel, and select Source in
Patch’s options.
z Step 3. Draw a line with the Patch tool around the part of the image that needs to be
restored.
z Step 4. Drag the selected area to a new spot, from which the clone will be created.
Define the source, then drag the tool to the damaged area.
Follow these steps:
z Step 1. Choose the Patch tool from the Toolbar.

z Step 2. Choose the tool’s size and shape in the Options panel, and in Patch’s options select
Destination.
z Step 3. Draw a line with the Patch tool around the part of the image that will be cloned.

z Step 4. Drag this area over the part of the image that needs repair.
