Elements XXL & Photoshop Patch tool

Post by britguy68 »

Hi,
Im using the 14 day trial software, and am pretty impressed with the functions so far :D Can you advise if there is a patch tool within the plug in.?

Thanks
Darren

Sorry, there is no patch tool in ElementsXXL. Maybe in a future version.

Actually you can simulate the patch tool with the help of the healing brush tool in Photoshop Element. It is less convenient, but here is how to do it:

1. Draw a selection with the lasso tool as you would do it with the patch tool.
2. Go to Select > Feather and apply a value between 3 and 8 depending on the size of your selection.
3. With the healing brush tool selected hold down the Alt key and click at the location in the image that you want to use a the source for the replacement.
4. Brush over the selection with the healing brush tool.
