Photoshop :: Patch Tool And Unsteady Hand
Aug 31, 2005When using the Patch Tool I find it difficult to trace the outline accurately. Is there any way to adjust the selection as one would when using a selection tool?

Photoshop :: Patch Tool In CS5
Apr 2, 2012I 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.

Oct 26, 2012I 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 panorama 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.

Apr 29, 2009I 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?

Dec 2, 20071. Open image of pot/vise.
2. I used the Patch tool and defined a selection around the stitches.
3. With the Source mode button checked (transparent is checked too but I don't know what that does), dragged from inside the selected area to a new area. While the mouse button is held down, the new area is displayed in the original selected area which is good so far. However, as soon as the mouse button is released, the original selected area reverts back to the original area and no longer is the new area.
Photoshop :: Using The Patch Tool
Apr 14, 2008I'm trying to use the patch tool to fix some carpet I have. The carpet is half black and half white, but its split up into sections. I'm trying to cover the black part with the patch of the white carpet. When I do that, all it does is make a blurry version of the black carpet with a little bit of white in it.
How could I make this white instead of a blurry blackish/white version?

Jun 19, 2009Only been using the patch tool for a couple of weeks and its been fine, but it has stopped working. I select Source and draw the area i want then move it over the area i want it to be replaced with.. it shows it fine, but when i release the colour goes all cloudy and its not clear, its sort of behaving like the healing brush does in Normal mode ( i.e. not a perfect copy like replace mode)
It does the same if i choose destination , all ok till release then funny colours.. I have reset the tool deleted my Prefs. I can't for the life of me think what i have done. The really strange thing is that it is doing it on my home PC and my work PC.. I am right in thinking the tool is supposed to work like i want it to i.e if i have an Orange and an Apple next to each other i should be able to draw a section out of the apple and replace it with a section of the Orange...and it be a perfect copy....
Photoshop :: CS6 Patch Tool Across Layers?
May 26, 2013Since getting CS6 I have been puzzled to find that the patch tool in CS6 seemed not to work across layers whilst doing photo retouching. So I reverted to the other tools to get some work done and ignored the problem.
I have just discovered that the problem seems to be caused by the source layer being locked (as in the background layer). In this case, with an empty layer above selected and the patch tool using all layers, the tool looks as though it is working until the mouse is released, when the original content of the patch re-appears and the empty layer is still empty.
Only if the base layer is unlocked will the patch tool work as expected to put the correction onto on the empty layer above.the unlocked base.
Is this just on my Win7 x64 system, or is this a feaure/bug in CS6?

Mar 23, 2009am using CS3, and am having trouble with the "Patch Tool" because whenever I select an area to be "Patched over" and drag that to the area I want to replace it, instead of just replacing the former with the latter, I get a blurry combination (think doubly exposed photograph) of the two.

Nov 25, 2008I'm using the magic wand to select an area I want to replace, then use the patch tool to find pixels to replace it with. It looks good in the preview but when I let go of the mouse, it seems to try and blend what used to be in the selection with the new pixels, rather than just replacing them like I want.
I read where your supposed to include some pixels outside of the area as well so I expanded the selection, but it still does too much blending.
Photoshop :: Patch Tool Not Working...
Jun 8, 2008My Patch tool no longer works properly in Windows Photoshop CS3. When I use the default settings (New Selection (Square Icon on extreme left), Source selected, Transparent NOT selected, no pattern selected) and I select the source then 'drag' the spot over to the destination until it looks the way I want it to, then let go, it replaces what I just saw with a blurry version of the two items 'added' together, as if the Transparent button were selected. Not what it's supposed to do.
I have reset the patch tool, then reset all tools and also reset the Photoshop preferences multiple times with the same result, the Patch tool still not working as its supposed to. I've tried this on multiple files of various formats (JPG, NEF, DNG) with the same results.
I'm having the same problem as the discussion below but resetting the Photoshop preferences files and tools did not help me as it did this user.

Photoshop :: Patch Tool Rotatable?
Mar 18, 2009I'm having trouble trying to get the Patch tool selection to rotate (ie 30,40 50 degrees or whatever) to better match the destination.
I've made it work a couple of times by using Free Transform but most of the time it chops a hole in the image, when all I want to do is copy and drag the source area without leaving gaps in the matrix.

View 2 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Screen Goes Blank When Using Patch Tool
Jan 28, 2013I am using the final released Photoshop CS6 software, not beta, and am having the same issue with the Patch tool. I start to drag around an area to make a selecton, and the screen goes blank so that I can't see where I'm making the selection. When I release the mouse, the image appears again. Another problem which may be related is that sometimes when I zoom in, the screen goes blank. Closing Photoshop and re-launching it usually fixes the problem, but is an annoying time-waster. I have the most current update from the Cloud for Photoshop CS6, 13.1.2.X64.
View 4 Replies View RelatedPhotoshop :: Enlarging Image Using Patch Tool
Jul 6, 2013So currently I have an image that I'll be using as my background for a wallpaper, however the dimensions of the image is 2100x1184, and the final dimensions of my wallpaper will be 2880x1800. Therefore I need to re-scale the image so that it's bigger. Now knowing that I can't do that without loss of quality, I've decided to instead "add" stuff to the image such that it looks larger. Eg. expanding the sky, adding additional buildings.
I've tried using the patch tool, but it doesn't let me add to the space outside of the image (my canvas is 2880x1800, and the empty space is transparent).
I'm wondering, is there any tools/techniques for accomplishing what I'm trying to do? Or even better, is there another method of enlarging the image without loss of quality?

Photoshop :: Selection Not De-Selecting After Patch Tool Use?
Apr 5, 2012When using the patch tool, I make the selection, pick my area for it to patch from and it patches just fine. BUT, the area I selected to be patched is still staying selected with marching ants around it and I have to CTRL-D to deselect before I can patch another area.
Thought it de-selected on old machine and it's driving me crazy trying to retouch some jobs where the patch tool gets a real workout...Am running CS5 (12.1x64) on a new Windows 7 64 bit machine, using a Wacon Intous 4 w/latest drivers.

Sep 7, 2012In Indesign CS6 using Mountain Lion, the hand tool appears and I can't select or work with any other tool. All I can do is move the document around. After trying the space bar and other key commands I restarted and it worked for a while. Then it happened again. I work on a Macbook pro, so when I removed the mouse and worked only with the trackpad there was no change. When I quit and reopened, no change. I then deleted prefs and restarted and it worked, but it's been happening from time to time. Any other fix without restarting or deleting prefs.

Photoshop :: Cs4 Hand Tool
Oct 31, 2008i have recently upgraded my computer with a new mb, 8gb ram, clean install of vista 64 bit and cs4. after initial problems with screen lag i installed a new graphics card and all seems to be working fine. problem is using the hand tool. i was accustomed in cs3 to comparing two files side by side, let's say the same image with two different levels of sharpening. i was able to view both images at 100% and using the hand tool move each image independently. this made comparing particular areas of the images easy. in cs4 when i open two images and use the hand tool it moves both images at the same time.
