Check out this video from Aaron Nace at Phlearn on how to use the amazing patch tool in Photoshop. Aaron covers the scenarios in which you want to use the standard patch tool and why it is often a better choice than using the content-aware patch tool.
He also breaks down the difference between source and destination selections for the patch tool, as well as what the transparency selection does when using the patch tool.
Thanks a bunch for this tutorial! I would like you to address “LAYERS’. I am very fuzzy about them, when to use them and why they are important.
