What tool to uniformize a repeat pattern ?

Hi,

I am fully aware of use of Rubber Stamp tool and a master at avoiding a repeat pixel effect.

However just sometimes with little to work with , it gets very tricky to avoid a repetition occurring, so having ended up with a repeat pattern from Remove tool and trying to make better with rubber stamp, is there a way to select the area and have the pixels shuffled around to lose the repeat pattern ?

One might call the tool ‘blend pixels’ or re-shuffle pixels’ !

Must retain the ‘noise’ , remove tool often loses the pixelation, a soft mush developing, which is bad.

 

Cheers,

Merlin

    @Merlin3 the remove tool or the contextual text field works wonders...it’s my best friend. The old school tools of spot healing, healing, red-eye, content-aware, patch tool, and the clone stamp tool (aka rubber stamp tool) is great, but once you start to play with the remove tool, that ‘repeat pixel effect’ is gone! Also, it doesn’t help if the image is low resolution too. So, if the image is of high quality resolution, it wouldn’t look so bad either (unless that was a zoom in to show us what you are talking about!). Sometimes I can prompt it, and it will give m three different variations, and I can fine tune it if I need too
