Content-Aware retouching
In Lesson 5, “Painting and Retouching,” you discovered how to retouch using the Content-Aware Spot
Healing Brush tool. In this lesson, you will review the Content-Aware Patch tool and how it takes the sur-
rounding content into consideration before filling your selected area. You'll start with the same eagle im-
age that you have been working on, retouch over any leftover shadow, and eliminate some of the birds in
the image.
