Applying a content-aware patch
Use the Patch tool to remove unwanted elements from an image. You'll use a
content-aware patch to remove an unrelated person from the right side of the
photo. In Content-Aware mode, the Patch tool creates nearly seamless blending
with the nearby content.
1. In the Tools panel, select the Patch tool (
), hidden beneath the Spot
Healing Brush tool ( ).
2. In the options bar, choose Content-Aware from the Patch menu, and make
sure that Sample All Layers is selected. Then click the Adaptation gear
icon, and choose 5 from the Structure menu.
The Structure menu determines how closely the patch reflects the existing image
patterns. You can choose from 1 to 5, with 1 allowing the loosest adherence to the
source structure and 5 requiring the strictest.
3. Drag the Patch tool around the boy and his shadow, as closely as possible.
You may want to zoom in to see him more clearly.
4. Click within the area you've just selected, and drag it to the left. Pho-
toshop displays a preview of the content that will replace the boy. Keep
dragging to the left until the preview area no longer overlaps the area oc-
cupied by the boy, but without overlapping the woman or the girl she's
holding. Release the mouse button when the patch is positioned where
you want it.
