1. Re: Patch Tool - Won't let me select what I need

That does not sound normal, you can usually use any area you like. However, not all blend well and sometimes a shadow will still be blended if the edge of the selection is against another object. Are you able to post a screenshot of the area showing what you are doing?

3. Re: Patch Tool - Won't let me select what I need
jerryp97433002 Feb 25, 2017 1:06 PM (in response to Grant H)I switched from Normal on the tool bar to Replace & it seemed to work better. Healing something out in the open like a recessed light fixture or a/c vent it works just fine but a shadow cast by a ceiling fan blade on the ceiling it has trouble, its not out there by itself it's right up against the other object shadow next to blade, maybe if there was separation with ceiling color in between it might be best but it is what it is. I will check my keyboard though to see if there is a stuck key. Thx.

jerryp97433002 Feb 25, 2017 1:26 PM (in response to davescm)I don't have a screen shot, closed PS then tried it again and it worked? I must have hit a key by accident, there are so many short cuts & ways to do the same thing using different methods its very frustrating, getting there though, have come a long way in just a week or so trying to fit in my busy schedule. I've used Lr for post for 2 yrs now & just recently built a new pc & decided to go with CC, always wanted to learn PS & knew it would be a learning curve. Thx

jerryp97433002 Feb 27, 2017 2:46 AM (in response to Grant H)Thanks but now it appears to be working properly, must have hit a key on the keyboard by accident causing an error.
