The Patch Tool• Say you want to get rid of something or someone from a picture.

• Maybe… This guy?

The Patch Tool• If so, the Patch Tool can help in quite a few cases, where the

background is similar throughout the photo.

This is the Patch Tool.You can find it between the Dropper and Brush tools.

Using the Patch Tool

Using the Patch Tool• First, you need to open Photoshop and the picture you want to use.

• Perfect.

Using the Patch Tool• Next, select the Patch Tool.

• You should now have a lasso selector in your hand.

• Select the area you want to remove. Start small! You may not be able to remove everything if you select a large area at first.

• I’ll start with his head.

Using the Patch Tool• Next, left-click and drag the selected area to the area you want it to

be replaced with.

• Finally…

Using the Patch Tool• Release!

Using the Patch Tool• Oh… That doesn’t look too good. That’s because we forgot to tell

photoshop to make the area content-aware.

Using the Patch Tool• Go to the top toolbar, and select the dropdown next to where it

says “Patch:”

• Then, make sure that the Patch is selected as “Content-Aware.”

Using the Patch Tool• Try moving the patch again.

• Better.

Using the Patch Tool• Now let’s remove the rest of him.

• Good, he’s gone now.

• But we should still probably fill all that empty space in with someone else. Someone sensible.

• Maybe…?

Placing Images

Placing Images• It’s impossible to do much of anything with photoshop if you don’t

know how to add extra images to your project.

Placing Images• First, hit “File” in Photoshop’s header.

Placing Images• Then, select “Place” from about halfway down the tab.

Placing Images• Then choose to add in the image you want.

Placing Images• Position, scale, and rotate the image to where you want it, and then

hit “enter.”

Flipping Objects

Flipping Objects• Say you’d rather have the image facing the other way. To do so,

right click on the image and, at the bottom of the menu, hit “flip vertical” or “flip horizontal.”

• I flipped him horizontally.

Note:This can’t be done after you

hit “enter!”

The Magic Eraser

The Magic Eraser• Say you want to get rid of a similar-looking area, without the

tediousness of the eraser.

• This is where the Magic Eraser helps the most.

The Magic Eraser• First, right click on the eraser tool.

• A menu should pop up. In the middle is the Magic Eraser tool. Click that.

• Choose any area you want to remove. It will remove all similar colors to the area you chose.

The End.
