Photoshop :: Using The Patch Tool

Oct 11, 2006

I am trying to use the patch tool and am fairly successful except that the color that I patch from the destination to the source blends with the existing color and does not completely replace it.

Photoshop :: Patch Tool In CS5

Apr 2, 2012

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.

Photoshop :: In CS4 - Using Patch Tool

Oct 26, 2012

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 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.

Photoshop :: The Patch Tool

Apr 29, 2009

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?

Photoshop :: Patch Tool

Dec 2, 2007

1. 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, 2008

I'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?

Photoshop :: Patch Tool

Jun 19, 2009

Only 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, 2013

Since 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?

Photoshop :: Patch Tool Blur In CS3

Mar 23, 2009

am 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.

Photoshop :: Patch Tool Quirk

Nov 25, 2008

I'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, 2008

My 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, 2009

I'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.

Photoshop :: Patch Tool Not Working

When I try to patch a wrinkle underneath an eye, the tool only blurs the selection a little - see this image:

I have tried resetting all tools, but the result stays the same. Is there some option that changes the behaviour of this tool? I'm using CS2.

Photoshop :: Screen Goes Blank When Using Patch Tool

Jan 28, 2013

I 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.

Photoshop :: Enlarging Image Using Patch Tool

Jul 6, 2013

So 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, 2012

When 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.

Photoshop :: Selection / Patch - Select Blue With Quick Selection Tool?

Dec 10, 2012

If you look closely in the attached picture, there is a spot of light blue on the player's helmet, that looks like a mistake (think it should look like the grass behind it)...though it actually may be part of his helmet.
 
Regardless, I'd like to take it out. My idea was to select the blue with the quick selection tool, then bring that selection out to the grass, select the grass with that size/shape of selection, copy/paste and then bring the grass selection into the blue part so it looks like grass in what was the blue part.
 
The problem is I don't seem to be able to move the selection without taking the blue with it (so it's not an empty selection and therefore can't select a piece of the grass.)

Photoshop :: PS CS4 After The Patch...

Mar 18, 2009

Photoshop CS4 was useless for me due to many problems that occured on my system (and as far as i can see, many other user's systems).

Meanwhile i installed the Patch to Version 11.0.1 and updated to new NVIDIA-driver Version 182.03.

I gave PS CS4 another try and realized, that some of the problems are gone. The OpenGL Features stay activated, rotating and smooth zooming are available and work fast and stable, graphic glitches and wrong menu-drawing are gone. That is most of the time...

Some problems remain:

- My long trusted wacom driver Version 493-3 (the only driver i had no problems with) does not grant me pressure-sensitivity in Photoshop CS4. It works well with CS3, but in CS4 theres no pressure at all. So switched to ne newest driver version. But even the newest Wacom-Driver does not work properly. If I close photoshop and reopen it, some pressure sensitivity of the brushes is gone. Sometimes ALL pressure sensitive functions are gone. Sometimes it helps reloading my brushes, sometimes this has no effect at all. Driver Version is 610-6 in combination with an Intuos3 Tablet.

- I have many cases where Photoshop just disappeared. It closed without warning or error-message.

- the OpenGL Features STILL deactivate out of nowhere. This happens mostly with layer-intensive documents and in combination with taskswitches. I only realise this when zooming becomes jumpy and the smoothness is suddenly gone. Then the rotate feature is greyed out. Strange thing is, all openGL features are still marked as active in the preferences. There's no warning or error message, the features simply vanished for this particular document. (It stays active for other open documents at the same time)

I am completely helpless here. For me it is AGAIN back to CS3. Working with Photoshop CS4 is really not possible with the above mentioned things happening all the time.

I use the most recent drivers available. My system is still fresh and nothing of this ever happened with Photoshop CS3.

Photoshop :: Why Is CS6 Patch Not As Good As CS3

I recently upgraded from Photoshop CS3 to CS6. The patch tool did not appear to work as well in CS4 or CS5 and CS6 appears just as bad.
 
I've attached an image showing (from left to right) a patch using:
 
CS3;
CS6 Normal;
CS6 Content Aware.
 
CS3 is MUCH better.

Photoshop :: Installing 7.0.1 Patch For PS 7.0

Jul 19, 2009

i've had Photoshop 7 for years now, and didn't have the internet at the time to even know about any patches and/or other releases for it at the time. But while the subject is in my head, and seeing as i use 7.0 as a back-up if CS4 decides to play up for whatever reason, it thought i'd install the patch.

I downloaded the patch from here, the official site, but i have a problem trying to instal it. The proces goes fine until it actually comes to the patching part, which it then says it could not find Photoshop.exe to patch, even though it is looking in the right place and everything where the .exe is. What's going on?
