5. Healing Brush tool.

The Healing Brush tool lets you correct imperfections, causing them to disappear
into the surrounding image. Like the cloning tools, you use the Healing Brush tool to
paint with sampled pixels from an image or pattern. However, the Healing Brush
tool also matches the texture, lighting, transparency, and shading of the sampled
pixels to the pixels being healed. As a result, the repaired pixels blend seamlessly
into the rest of the image.

tool to clone isolated areas of an image. The Patch tool works with 8-bits or 16-bitsper-channel images.
