    Step 3:    Just click and drag A area over B area. You will see a preview of the image as you drag it.
                      Step 4:    When you  drop  the  area  A over the  area  B, Photoshop  does  the  magic  of blending
                              the  pixels  from the source  B or the  destination  area A perfectly.  Deselect  by  pressing
                              Ctrl + D. It is so simple, but you might not get an accurate result every time. You may have to
                              practise a few times. Please ensure that you are working on a duplicate background layer or
                              using a separate empty layer – not your original background layer.

                                                                 Using Patch Tool

                           Content Aware Move Tool
                      Content Aware Move Tool is one of the best retouching tools that allows you to move an object in an
                      image to a different location and Photoshop automatically takes care of the area left behind. It also
                      helps to duplicate, expand, rotate and contract objects in an image. The steps to use the Content
                      Aware Move Tool are:

                      Step 1:   Open an image in which you need to move an object from one place to another.
                      Step 2:  Select the Content Aware Move Tool from the Tools panel.

                      Step 3:   Make a rough selection around the object. See the given image. While selecting make sure
                              that the selection should not be very close to the edge of the object.

                      Step 4:   Click and drag the object to the new location and drop it. Photoshop automatically manages
                              the blank area by replacing it with the surrounding/background area and merging the object
                              in the new area.
                      Step 5:  Press Ctrl + D to deselect the selection.

                                                                                              Tech Hint

                                                                                    To switch to Polygon lasso from
                                                                                       freehand selection: Alt key

                                      Using Content Aware Move Tool

                      The Mode property in Options bar contains two options: Move and Extend. Move is used to seamlessly
                      move the objects in the photos. Extend is used to copy the object, scale and rotate the object, expand,
                      and contract the object using new layers.
                      Adaptation helps to control the flexibility to blend the image. Selecting very loose will allow more
                      control over blending in the image while selecting very strict will give hard line around the selection.
                      Click the check box of Sample all layers if working with one image. At times, this tool may not give a
                      perfect result, but usually Content Aware Move Tool wonderfully blends the object into the new area.
