I’m trying to use the patch tool to fix some carpet I have. The carpet is half black and half white, but its split up into sections. I’m trying to cover the black part with the patch of the white carpet. When I do that, all it does is make a blurry version of the black carpet with a little bit of white in it.

How could I make this white instead of a blurry blackish/white version?

Thanks

Have you tried Image/Adjustments/Replace Color, select the black, and lighten it?

In some cases the old fashioned clone tool works better than patch tool.

Use the clone tool instead – the patch tool cleverly tries to camouflage what it is doing, leaving you with just that blurry smear 🙂

use the lasso tool and select a white section of the rug copy and paste it to the area you want white
