How Do I Fix Patch Tool in Photoshop?

Last updated on September 23, 2022 @ 11:21 pm

If you’re a Photoshop user, you’re probably well aware of the Patch Tool. The Patch Tool is a great way to fix small imperfections in your images. But what do you do if the Patch Tool isn’t working properly?

There are a few things that could be causing the Patch Tool to not work correctly. First, make sure that you’re using the correct tool.

The Patch Tool is located in the ” Healing Brushes ” group in the toolbar. If you’re using the wrong tool, it’s no wonder the Patch Tool isn’t working!

Another possibility is that your image is too big or too small. The Patch Tool works best on images that are between 1000 and 3000 pixels. If your image is outside of this range, try resizing it and see if that fixes the problem.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Photoshop, the Patch Tool can be very confusing. If you’re not careful, you can easily make your image look worse. Be sure to read the instructions carefully and experiment on a copy of your image before using the Patch Tool on your original image.

Finally, make sure that you’re using the right settings. The default settings for the Patch Tool are “Source” and “Destination.”

But you can also choose “Textured” or “Pattern.” If you’re not sure which setting to use, try experimenting with each one until you find the one that gives you the best results.

If you’ve tried all of these things and the Patch Tool still isn’t working properly, there’s one last thing you can try. Open up the Preferences dialog box and go to the “Performance” tab.

Under “Memory Usage,” change the setting from “Optimize Performance” to “Use All Available RAM.” This will give Photoshop more memory to work with, and it might just fix the problem.

Conclusion:

The patch tool is a great way to fix small imperfections in your images, but if it isn’t working properly there are a few things you can try. First, make sure you’re using the correct tool and that your image is between 1000 and 3000 pixels.

Then, try experimenting with different settings until you find the one that gives you the best results. If all else fails, open up the Preferences dialog box and change the memory usage setting from “Optimize Performance” to “Use All Available RAM.”
