Using Content-Aware Patch

…In this movie, I'll show you how to use the Content-Aware Patch tool.…And this movie is really intended as a demo, as you'll see.…In the next movie, I'll show you a practical application of the tool.…Now the Content-Aware Patch tool is ultimately a combination of…the Standard Patch tool that we saw in a previous movie,…along with Content-Aware Fill.…And it's best understood in the context of those functions.…So I'm going to create a couple of duplicates of this layer.…By pressing Ctrl+Alt+J, or…Cmd+Opt+J on the Mac, to jump a new layer and name it as well.…

And I'll go ahead and call this guy, standard patch.…And then I'll press the Enter key or…the Return key on the Mac, and press Ctrl+Alt+J or Cmd+Opt+J again, and…change the name to CA patch, and then click OK.…All right, now I'll go ahead and turn off all the layers but…the background, and I'll zoom out a little bit as well.…And armed with my Rectangular Marquee tool,…I'm going to select a pretty large portion of the image,…from midway into the shadows here all the way to the bottom of the image.…
