Patch Tool-CS5 behaviour
In the past, I've successfully used the Patch Tool by selecting "New Selection" , & "Source.
Next, I would make a selection of the area I wished to fill/repair; then Lt-Click/Drag the selection to an area of the image that I wished to use as a "fill, and when It looked OK, release the Lt Click button, and the "original" selection area would "fill" with the area I had dragged to.
With CS5, I do the same thing, but when I release the Mouse button, the dragged selection disappears, as it should, but the "original" selection area does not fill. It remains selected, but is unchanged as to content, as if the final fill execution has failed.
I'm probably doing something wrong, but it's escaping me?

Something must have changed.....
I've had the same problem for nearly a year and haven't found a solution.
Just to reiterate:
On a single layer, whether backgroung, duplicate of background or another, and trying to patch an area ON THAT LAYER,
with Source checked, and Transparent NOT checked, what happens when I move the patch is this....
the selected area changes to match the underlying pixels until I release the mouse. On release, the patched area becomes a blend of the original selection and the area I wanted to use as a patch.
It is also apparent that the edges are feathered.
In short, it doesn't work well.
I've searched the Adobe help site (forums, etc.) and Google, and found many descriptions of trouble with the Patch Tool, but no real solutions.
I have continuously updated (12.0.4 x64) and deleted my Preferences, and reset all the tools. To no avail.
The Patch Tool was very useful once. But it's not working now. Not for me on my iBook.
If anyone has a definite fix, or any other suggestions, I'd love to hear them!
Thanks,
Carl

Need help with Patch Tool in CS5
I am having a problem using the patch tool in Photoshop CS5. I click on the Patch Tool and select the Source option from the upper tool bar. Then I circle a gray area in the background of my photo and, holding down the left mouse button, I drag the selection to a black area in the background and release the mouse button. Instead of turning the selected area black it just makes the area slightly darker than it was originally. I just don’t understand why I can’t use the patch tool and any help would be appreciated.
Thank you very much for these suggestions. Robert

Hi, I have this annoying problem with the patch tool that whenever I use it, i.e., drag the selected area to a new location it pastes the selected area as if it were smudged, such as feathered, and I practically can't use it. I have checked the selection and it is not feathered, but still, the selection being pasted is smudged. Any settings that I am not aware of?
Thanks.The Patch (content aware) tool is affected by the area around your selection. To get around the problem, make a selection of the beak and he surround without the bird and put it on a separate layer as shown here. Then select the beak and apply the Patch command. Without the dark bird for reference, you will get the result you want.

Hi to everyone,
When I use the patch tool it left a king of a smudge stained gray after replacing the patch. -
Patch tool, why mess with something that wasn't broken?
I edit a large amount of product photography and I used to use the patch tool frequently to fix areas that needed cleaned up that had some sort of detail. Below you will find an image I was correcting and the result. I was not trying to get rid of the little nub, just replace it with one that looked better.
I tried to use the content replace tool as well and it not only changed the area I was trying to correct but the part I was taking from. It also left a weird shape around the part I replaced. See images below.
-original -after replace toolThe above edit was done in CS5.
Below is CS6. Instead of recreating the detail, it was eliminated. -
CS5, Photoshop. I want to replace a short portion of the top of a black turtleneck sweater with the adjacent skin color. In other words, lower the height of the turtleneck on the neck. Skin color is very light white. I have tried th patch tool, but it does not change the balck to the white skin color. It just lightens the black slightly. Any ideas on how to replace the balck with the light white?
Try the Cloning Tool, or selection then copy/paste and move the layer with the pasted pixels.

In Photoshop CS4- using patch tool-
I select an area I want to repair, click source, then drag to the area I want to use to make the repair and release. It looks great in the preview, before I release. As soon as I release it disappears.
For example, after using the automate tool to combine multiple images into a panarama with a transparent background there are a few blank areas. I select one of the blank areas with the patch tool, click source then drag to the area I want to use as the replacement and release. As soon as I release, it goes back to the transparent background. The transparent button is NOT selected.
This is a Windows Vista system, with NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT video, If I try to do updates to CS4 is sas it is using the latest driver. Which it lists as version 11.0.2.
Any idea how to fix this?In photoshop cs4 the patch tool doesn't work on transparent areas.
In other words the area has to be opaque (not transparent)
If they are small areas you might try the Healing Brush Tool.
Or use the healing brush tool and/or clone stamp tool and then patch the area with the patch tool. -

Contents copied with "patch tool" disappear
I am having trouble with the "patch tool" . . .
Whether I use it in "Normal" or "Content Aware" mode, the patches that are made disappear after I make the patch.
For example, I am copying a portion of a uniform that has lines. I want to copy the lines to another part of the uniform to make it appear as one.
I use the "patch" tool to draw around the area. I then move the stylus pen over the area I wish to copy, and the preview within the circle shows the "addition" to look fine.
But as soon as I release the "patch" tool, Photoshop "thinks" for a few seconds (as signified by a "spinning wheel"-type cursor) . . . then it stops "thinking," and the contents of the patch area disappear. Although they were there as a preview, they disappear when I release the "patch" tool after completing the copy.
What am I doing wrong? TIA for any help . . .Thanks, Brian . . .
I had already watched this video (and I agree it is a good tutorial) . . .
The problem is I am looking for a "troubleshooter" answer, for when the tool does not work, and this video does not address that . . .
I have found a number of tutorials on how to use the video, but they are all based on the assumption that it works (which I am assuming it usually does) . . .
I am looking for a clue as to why it doesn't work but can't find anything . . . thanks for your help, though . . . -
Patch Tool Missing Mouse Pointer...
WIERD
While using the patch tool, it's patching about 2-3 inches to the left of my mouse pointer, ONLY on one image that I'd adjust the Exposure and Sharpening of. Others are patching normally.I am now having this exact issue. The spot or patch area is to the left of the dropped circle. At first I thought that it simply wasn't working, until I noticed the spot over to the left.
Don't use this tool much, but I do know it used to work fine before. Is this a Leopard issue? -
Hi,
I am using the patch tool to patch (!) areas of an image. Instead of patching the selection into the image, PS4 blends it, so that some of the patch and some of the original image are visible. I've searched for a way to instruct PS4 to reduce the opacity but I can't find such an option. Is it possible to truly 'patch' and not 'blend' an area of an image?
Thanks for you help!Sorry...I only come here when having problems. I read more than post. ...most problems have already been resolved before I get here.
No so this one.
I just this moment went back to my old workstation.

I have both CS3 10.0.1 & CS4 11.0.1 installed
Both exibit a failure to blend properly ...as priviously mentioned in this thread.
Again...I am back to my original thinking that it is a Hardware Related issue..and needs exploring
In my humble opinion, It would be good to poll those having issues and see.

Proper Use of the Healing Brush & Patch Tool
When using the Patch tool and Healing Brush tool to smooth skin, I cannot seem to avoid "grabbing" dark coloring from the clothing as I get close to the edge of the skin. I have the sample source anchored in the middle of an area far away from the clothing edge, but if I get close to the clothing it pulls from that color and "bleeds" into my healing area.
I've tried to view tutorials on the Healing Brush, but haven't found anything that addresses this specific condition, just standard "how to" stuff.
Thank you for any advise and direction here.I'll give you a little trick as you can see the preview of the are you are patching it is possible to do a patch clone sort to speak.
it works like this.
http://mysite.verizon.net/wzphoto/patch.mov
if the angle of the clothes do not match you can copy a section and paste and then rotate the section to match and use it as the source for
the patch tool.
BTW the idea is that you have to include the contrasting areas so the do not cause a blending. even if the darker area needs no repair. -
Here are two examples of using the Patch Tool. On left is the original and rthe other using the P/Tool is the results.What can be done about this?
Secondly, is there any way in CS6 to 'move and re-align' such things as the knife and spoon?
Thanks for your time.

I took your advice, but as you can see, no difference at all Q. Can this be done in ANY graphic program?
