Introduction
The Content-Aware Fill tool in Photoshop comes with the “Patch Tool”. The fill tool works on the selected region of your image, while the patch tool works on all the pixels around your selected region. In other words, if you have a specific area in your image that you want to replace with something else, then use Content-Aware Fill. If there is more than one place that you want to replace, then use Patch Tool. In this article, we shall discuss 5 benefits of the Content-Aware Fill tool in Photo Manipulation Services.
1. Replacing Unwanted Content
It is preferable to replace a particular object in your image with something else, rather than deleting it. In some cases, you may want to replace more than one object in your image, or you may want to replace objects of different colors and/or sizes in a single image. In this case, you need to use the Patch tool. However, the patch tool works on all the pixels in the image, so for replacing multiple objects with single objects you may need to use Content-Aware Fill.
The Content-Aware Fill tool is more advanced than the patch tool. You can replace multiple objects like a building with a tree, or you can replace several trees with one object by using Content-Aware Fill.
2. Replacing Objects of Different Colors
The patch tool replaces only one color at a time and works on different colors that are in your image. On the other hand, the content-aware fill tool works on all the colors in your image and replaces them with new colors. It compares each color that is in its selection of your image with every color present in your new image and replaces them by changing their hue and saturation as well as brightness. Because it also changes their opacity, it also gives more realistic results.
3. Replacing Part of the Image
You can also use the content-aware fill tool to replace a particular part of your image. You can use it to replace an object or part of an object with something else, such as a shadow, gleam, or hairline. This can be useful in replacing the shadow or highlight, which you require and so on.
4. Replacing Specific Objects
The content-aware fill tool works on all the objects in your image and replaces them with new objects. You can select any object, color, or shape in your image and replace it with something else. This is useful if you want to replace a person or an animal with another person or animal that appears similar to the original.
5. Replacing Colors in Images
You can also use the content-aware fill tool to replace colors in the images. It will change all the colors in the image in accordance with the new color that you replace.
The Content-Aware fill is more useful when you must replace specific objects which are different in color or size. In this way, you can also use it for creating collages by adding photographs together and applying a visual effect like blurring to make it look as if there were two images in one image.
Conclusion

The patch tool is good when you want to remove something that you don’t want in your image and replace it with something else.
