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 you want to move. Ensure that the
selection is not too close to the object's edges to allow Photoshop to blend the
background seamlessly.
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.
