Patch Tool

[Surge]

I recently checked out a computer course, and guess what they were doing? Photoshop And i looked around and i was amazed at how many people didnt know how to use the patch tool. (Theres also actually 2 alternatives to using the patch tool. Read on see them) So heres the tutorial:


Ok lets say you need a picture of PURE grass put you only have this picture:

Most people wouldn't know what to do. Well there really are 3 ways of doing this. Ill start with number one.

PATCH TOOL- FIRST WAY

Step 1: Open the image in photoshop.

Step 2: Select the patch tool

Step 3: Draw around your object, in this case it's the cat, and use the patch tool as if it is a lasso tool. Try to stick to the lines. Zoom in a bit if it is necessary.

Now you should have the classic "marching ants" like so



Step 4: Click and hold the INSIDE of the selection you made. Once you are holding it, drag either to the left or right. Grass will appear instead of the cat. It shifts the image at the point where you want. Don't worry if it doesn't look too good now. When you deselect it instantly blends it for you.
