Adjusting the Detail Within Spot & Patch Overlays
In addition to adjusting softness and opacity in Spot & Patch target overlays, you can
adjust the amount of detail, such as texture or grain, that is preserved in the cloned pixels.
To adjust the amount of detail in cloned pixels in a Spot & Patch target overlay:
m In the Spot & Patch area of the Adjustments inspector or the Adjustments pane of the
Inspector HUD, adjust the Detail parameter by doing one of the following:
 Drag the Detail slider.
 Click the left or right arrow in the Detail value slider, or drag in the value field.
 Double-click the number in the Detail value slider, then enter a value from 0% to
100% and press Return.
A low value decreases the amount of detail, such as texture or grain, preserved in the
cloned pixels, and a high value increases the amount of detail.
You can adjust the
amount of detail in the
cloned pixels.
Use the Detail slider and
value slider to adjust the
amount of detail in the
cloned pixels in the
target overlay.
