Patch Tool How To

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.

  • How can i remove the measurement info bubble from displaying while using patch tool?

    When removing unwanted parts of an image or repairing older images, the tool most used by me is the patch tool. When I select a patch and move a bubble with measurements of how far I've moved this patch pops up and ALWAYS seems to be in the way. Some areas to repair are extremely magified and can make or break an image looking natural or not. The darn measurement bubble seems to place itself in the worst possible location for exact placement of small elements. How can I turn this info bubble from popping up as I'm not why it's even there?

    You can turn it off under Photoshop (Edit)>Preferences>Interface by setting Show Transformation Values to Never

  • 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 . . .

  • 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.

  • Patch tool just blends, doesn't replace

    I've seen tutorials about the patch tool, but my patch tool doesn't appear to do what the tutorials do...
    I've read other threads about how this tool is supposed to blend near the edges to give a good result, but this is blending the whole thing.  I've already deleted my prefs file by starting photoshop with ctrl alt shift pressed.  I've also reset the tool.  These screenshots were taken immediately after opening photoshop cs4 and deleting the prefs file.  Can anyone tell me what to do to use the patch tool like it's shown?  I'm not as interested in alternate methods to achieve the same result -- I've already used the clone stamp tool to do the job.  But why doesn't my patch tool seem to work the way it should?

    Curt Y - there are two options for the patch tool 'source' and 'destination'. You seem to be confused
    Bruderbell, the patch tool works this way - it analyses areas OUTSIDE the selected area to make its decisions as to what to use to replace texture and color. Because your area it on the edge of the canvas, the only pixel data it has are your dark pixels. Its working correctly
    To sort out your problem, start with the Clone Tool, make a loose clone over of the dark area. Then use the healing brush  or the patch tool to make the transitions smoother, and eiliminate any tonal errors.  With a little practice you will be able to achieve a perfect heal this way

  • Patch tool

    Hi,
    I have downloaded the latest opatch tool , i have gone through several notes but a  bit off confusion. please help me,
    Where do i have to install the Opatch tool in the unix operating system is it under  /oracle.
    After installation of the Opatch tool , how do i install the interim patches using the Opatch tool and under which patch should i install the interim patches.
    Ple help.
    Thanks.

    > Where do i have to install the Opatch tool in the unix operating system is it under  /oracle.
    Check note 1026237 - FAQ: OPatch and Universal Installer 10.2 point 8
    > After installation of the Opatch tool , how do i install the interim patches using the Opatch tool and under which patch should i install the interim patches.
    If you install multiple patches at once, it's much easier to use the "mopatch" script provided (including documentation) in
    Note 1027012 - MOPatch - Install Multiple Oracle Patches in One Run
    So basically
    - update your opatch to the latest version
    - download all patches for your database version
    871096 - Oracle Database 10g: Patch sets/patches for 10.2.0 (50+ patches)
    1137346 - Oracle Database 10g: Patches for Release 10.2.0.4 (25 patches)
    - put all the patches in one directory
    - apply them using the documentation in the MOpatch note

    Please let me know what should I do. thanks.

  • Patch tool is constained on straight lines

    both my patch tool and lasso constrain to straight lines even though i am drawing freehand shapes. anyone know how to reverse this?

    The problem was Google Chrome browser!  As soon as I quit Chrome my pen tool started working again.  I didn't even need to restart Fireworks.  I wonder if it is a conflict with one of my plugins/add ons.  Most likely.
    UPDATE - I did narrow it down to one specific Google Chrome extension.  It was "Google Play Music"

  • Patch Tool option bar - missing word "Mode"

    The new Content Aware Move tool has the word Mode next to its drop down box on the options bar. The Patch tool has the word Patch next to its drop down. For consistency the word Patch on the patch tool options bar should be replaced with Mode. Ideally instead of Mode, they both could display the name of the tool, but I expect Content Aware Move takes up too much real estate.

    "flying blind."
    "You totally lost me there, and I have no clue as to what your last question means."
    "I think I now know what you mean."
    Evidently language is of difficulty for you. 
    Perhaps the Oxford dictionary can provide you with your much needed “sensible, meaningful” content.
    According to the Oxford dictionary, a dialogue is to "Take part in a conversation or discussion to resolve a problem."  It also states that a dialogue is "A discussion between two or more people or groups, especially one directed toward exploration of a particular subject or resolution of a problem.”
    That IS the inherent nature of posts. A conversation is reciprocation.  Questions, followed by more questions.
    It is not difficult to understand.
    "how to ask your questions correctly for quicker and better answers" is best actualized by simply asking.
    Is it a Mac; is it not, etc.
    That IS sufficient.  That IS "quicker and better answers[ing]."  That IS what a dialogue IS.   And that IS actually what is "sensible," "meaningful," and "detailed." 
    The Oxford dictionary can best delineate and elucidate your lack of comprehension in what ACTUALLY “meaning” is.
    As well as what is "sensible" AND "detailed." 
    By the way, am I being repetitive.
    Still confused.  Let the experts that do not require much explanation respond with "quicker and better answers" for both "sensible, complete" responses." They are not "lost," "blind," or provide "incomplete" drivel.

  • Help please  Patch tool

    using Destination  (and the blue grapelooking pattern)   when I drag selection over  the repair area, it's blurred and transparent looking.  Not the patched it should be.
    Transparent is NOT  checked.
    this is so aggravating.  Can't find help anywhere.  My book doesn't address how to stop this.  Same thing if I try to use source.

    The Patch Tool uses the same or similar algorithms as the Spot Healing and Healing Brush, which means it is trying to blend with the underlying pixels.  If you want a pure replacement, you can try using the Pattern Stamp Tool that is nested with the Clone Stamp.
    I hope this addresses your question.

  • 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
