FAQs on How To Use The Patch Tool with CONTENT-AWARE in Photoshop - Remove Distracting Objects From Photos Video Lecture - Mastering Adobe Photoshop CC 2017: Step by Step Tutorials - Design
| 1. How do I use the Patch Tool with Content-Aware in Photoshop to remove distracting objects from my photos? |  |
Ans. To use the Patch Tool with Content-Aware in Photoshop, follow these steps:
1. Open your image in Photoshop.
2. Select the Patch Tool from the toolbar.
3. In the options bar, choose "Content-Aware" from the "Patch Type" dropdown menu.
4. Draw a selection around the distracting object you want to remove.
5. Drag the selection to an area of the image that has similar texture or background.
6. Release the mouse button to apply the patch and remove the object.
| 2. Can I use the Patch Tool with Content-Aware to remove multiple distracting objects from a single photo? | |
Ans. Yes, you can use the Patch Tool with Content-Aware to remove multiple distracting objects from a single photo. Simply repeat the steps mentioned above for each object you want to remove. Draw a selection around each object, drag it to a suitable area, and release the mouse button to apply the patch. This way, you can remove multiple distracting objects efficiently.
| 3. What should I do if the Patch Tool with Content-Aware doesn't work perfectly and leaves visible traces of the removed object? | |
Ans. If you notice visible traces of the removed object after using the Patch Tool with Content-Aware, you can try the following techniques to improve the results:
1. Adjust the selection: Make sure your selection around the object is accurate and includes enough surrounding area for the Content-Aware algorithm to work with.
2. Use smaller brush size: Reduce the brush size of the Patch Tool to work on smaller areas with more precision.
3. Combine with other tools: If necessary, use other retouching tools like the Clone Stamp or Healing Brush to refine the results further.
4. Experiment with different areas: Instead of dragging the selection to a single area, try different patches or textures until you achieve a seamless result.
| 4. Can I use the Patch Tool with Content-Aware to remove objects from complex backgrounds? | |
Ans. Yes, you can use the Patch Tool with Content-Aware to remove objects from complex backgrounds. The Content-Aware algorithm in Photoshop is designed to analyze the surrounding areas and blend the patch seamlessly. However, the complexity of the background and the object's texture can affect the results. In such cases, it may be necessary to combine the Patch Tool with other retouching techniques or manually refine the results using additional tools.
| 5. Is it possible to undo or revert the changes made with the Patch Tool and Content-Aware in Photoshop? | |
Ans. Yes, it is possible to undo or revert the changes made with the Patch Tool and Content-Aware in Photoshop. You can use the following methods:
1. Undo command: Press Ctrl+Z (Windows) or Command+Z (Mac) to quickly undo the last action.
2. History panel: Open the History panel (Window > History) and click on a previous state of the image to revert back to that point in the editing process.
3. Step backward: Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Z (Windows) or Command+Option+Z (Mac) to step backward through multiple actions and undo changes made with the Patch Tool.
4. Reopen the image: If you haven't saved the changes, you can simply close the image without saving and reopen it to start again from the original state.

In this video, I'm going to show you how to
remove unwanted elements from photos using
the Patch Tool with Content-Aware.
Hey everyone.
Welcome to the Photoshop Training Channel.
My name is Jesus Ramirez and you can find
me on Instagram @JRfromPTC.
In this tutorial, I'm going to show you how
to use the Patch Tool with Content-Aware.
With the Content-Aware option, the Patch Tool
becomes more powerful because it allows you
to synthesize nearby content for seamless
blending with the surrounding content.
The results are very similar to using the
Content-Aware Fill, but by using this tool,
you have the option to choose the source area
and also, work non-destructively.
I'm going to show you how this tool works
in two examples.
We're going to use a portrait to remove wrinkles
and we're going to use this photo of Venice
to remove distracting elements.
So let's start with the portrait first.
I'm going to zoom in and if we wanted to remove
one of these wrinkles, for example, the one
here on his forehead, we could of course make
a selection and fill with Content-Aware, so
Edit, Fill, Content-Aware and it sort of removes
the wrinkle.
You can sort of see that the Content-Aware
sample from this area here bringing in another
wrinkle.
I'm going to press Ctrl Alt Z, Command Option
Z on the Mac to undo.
What we're going to do, instead, is select
the Patch Tool, which is nested under the
Spot Healing Brush Tool.
Make sure that Content-Aware is selected and
we can click and drag and decide what area
to sample from.
So, the Content-Aware Fill automatically sampled
from that area which introduced that other
wrinkle.
We're just going to go up a bit higher and
sample from this area so that no other wrinkles
are introduced.
I'm going to zoom in and you can see that
it did a much better job.
However, much like the Content-Aware Fill,
we are working destructively and we don't
want to do that.
So, I'm going to press Ctrl Alt Z, Command
Option Z on the Mac, to undo.
I want to create a new layer.
I want to make sure that Sample All Layers
is selected and I'm going to redo that last
step, so I'm going to click and drag and sample
from this area.
The advantage of using the Patch Tool is that
you also have access to the structure in color
so you can adjust how those pixels were generated.
I'm going to press Ctrl H, Command H on the
Mac, to hide the selection.
The selection is still there; it's just hidden.
If I come under Structure and adjust the slider
back to number 1, you'll see how those pixels
change as I make those adjustments.
Structure specifies how closely the patch
should reflect existing image patterns.
If you enter 7, the patch adheres very strongly
to the existing image patterns.
If you enter 1, the patch adheres very loosely
to existing image patterns, and obviously,
there's different levels in between.
You also have Color.
Color specifies the extent to which you want
Photoshop to apply algorithmic color blending
to the patch.
Zero disables color blending and a color value
of 10 applies maximum color blending.
So, you can keep making adjustments to the
sliders to change how the pixels blend, obviously
making it more powerful than the simple Content-Aware
Fill.
Also, in a situation like this when we're
working with skin and we have skin texture,
you'll notice that texture is brighter than
the area that we brought in.
By working non-destructively in a new layer,
we can take advantage of blending modes, so
we can select a blending mode such as Lighter
Color, which always reveals the lightest color--either
the layer that you're currently on or the
layers below.
If I select it, you'll see that we're going
to bring back some of that texture.
The only things that we're concealing are
the darker areas that make up that wrinkle.
So, we can also adjust the opacity.
I don't want to remove the wrinkle.
I just want it to be less distracting so I'm
just going to bring down the opacity, so it's
still there.
It's just not as noticeable.
I'm going to double-click on the Hand Tool
to fit the image to the screen.
That's the before and the after.
Maybe I can increase the opacity even further,
maybe 75%, and that's the advantage of using
the Patch Tool with Content-Aware.
You can, of course, zoom in and remove other
distractions on the face.
Maybe I can remove that blemish here by using
the same technique.
I'm going to press Ctrl D, Command D, to deselect.
In this case, I don't think I need to make
any adjustments with Blending Modes or Opacity
so I'll leave it as is, and you can keep making
any other adjustments that you want.
The Patch Tool is also really good at removing
distracting elements from other kinds of photos
like this photo of Venice here.
I'm going to zoom in to this area where these
people are sitting and I can make a selection
with the Patch Tool, then I can click and
drag a sample from this area here, and that
removes the people sitting in that area.
I'm going to press Ctrl D, Command D, to deselect.
I'm going to zoom out just so you can see
what it looks like.
Obviously, that was a destructive effect because
I didn't create a new layer.
So, always remember to work non-destructively
by creating a new layer and making sure that
"Sample All Layers" is selected.
So once again, I'll make that same adjustment
and you can press Ctrl H, Command H on the
Mac, to hide the selection and you can adjust
the structure to change how the pixels blend.
I'm going to press Ctrl H, Command H on the
Mac, again, to bring back the selection.
So you can see the selection is still there,
then I can press Ctrl D, Command D, to deselect.
At this point, you can refine some of the
shadows that we brought in.
I'm not going to do it in this video just
for the sake of time, but whenever you make
an adjustment like this, you sometimes may
need to refine the pixels that were generated.
Also, I want to point out that this video
is one of the videos in my Content-Aware series.
If you haven't watched the other Content-Aware
videos, check out that playlist on my YouTube
channel.
There's a link for it right below in the description
of this video.
And that's it for this tutorial.
Let me know in the comments down below if
you knew about this tool and how it works.
Also, let me know if you have any comments
or questions.
