The Patch Tool

The first step in using the Patch tool is to select the part of the image that you’d like to fix.

Selecting parts of an image with the Patch tool works just like it does with standard Photoshop selection tools, such as the Lasso—you simply circle the target area while keeping the mouse button pressed down, then release the mouse button once you’ve circled the entire target area to finalize the selection.
