Photoshop help please! I am trying to fix a photo and I finally figured it how to do it. I used the Patch tool. It worked great. So I thought I'd try and do it again. It won't work everytime I try it says "could not use the patch tool because the selected area is empty".
Anyone know how to solve this? Love M | |

Very strange!!!!! The right layer, do you mean adjustment and then the layer from background option? [Edited 4/11/09 15:19pm] | |

[Edited 4/11/09 15:19pm] open your layers window, do you have more than one layer in your file (for example if you copied from another file and pasted into this one) | |

Isn't the whole pic full of pixels? it is, but if you are using the patch tool, you lassoo around the area you want to patch - not just click. Then you drag to an area where you want to pick up texture from and then let go. | |

Can I use your thread to ask for help on something I'm dealing with?  | |

How have you been? | |
