STEP BY STEP PRISTINE SAND<br />

Remove unwanted mess from your photos<br />

01<br />

SELECT THE PROBLEM<br />

Grab the Patch tool from<br />

the Tools panel. (It’s alongside<br />

the healing tools.) Whenever<br />

you use the Patch tool, your first<br />

job is always to make a selection<br />

over the area you’d like to fix.<br />

In this case, simply drag around<br />

one of the footprints to make a<br />

selection. You don’t need to be<br />

too precise about the selection<br />

at this point.<br />

02<br />

DRAG TO A SOURCE<br />

In the options at the top, set Patch: Content-Aware and Structure 1. Tick Sample<br />

All Layers, then go to Layer > New Layer. Drag the selected patch to a similar clean area<br />

nearby to remove the messy bit. If there are any rough results, try patching again or use<br />

the Clone tool to tidy it up.
