  1. I knew about – and have used – the tool but was always confused about the structure and colour options. Also using it non-destructively is just brilliant! Thanks Jesus! Keep it up!!!

  2. That was awesome! Thank you! I always had the habit of using the content aware brush, and the patch tool. I’m still using Photoshop CS5 though, because the newer versions remove so many options that I am originally used to having.

    1. Johnny, I cannot think of a single thing that Photoshop has removed from CS5 that it is not available on CC. What options have they removed?

    1. Richmond, the clone tool simply copies identical pixels from one area to another. The Patch tool uses an algorithm to generate pixels based on an area you selected. One is not better than the other. They serve different purposes.

  3. Great tutorial, I always seem to do this backward. Thanks alway for such great information. Sharing to FB now.

  4. Super helpful. I seem to always do this backward. I’ll watch again as I use this on a composite and make sure I do it correctly.
    Hugs, Leslie Ann
