To patch a blemish in an image
1 Select an image.
2 It’s a good idea to set the image to appear at full size (100 percent) to prevent image
scaling from obscuring details. To display an image at full size, click the Zoom Viewer
button in the tool strip or the Full Screen view toolbar (or press Z).
3 Choose Spot & Patch from the Adjustments pop-up menu in the Adjustments inspector
or the Adjustments pane of the Inspector HUD.
The pointer changes to a target, and the Spot & Patch HUD appears.
4 Click the blemish area to place a Spot & Patch target overlay on it.
A yellow target overlay is placed over the blemish, and the blemish is replaced by the
pixels that surround it. This yellow target overlay is the destination target overlay.

the Adjustments pane of the Inspector HUD, then drag the white source target overlay
to the area you want to clone (the source area).
• Option-click the area you want to clone.
A white source target overlay appears and is placed over the source area.
