Hi Doc_Fit,

The Patch Tool has 4 selection modes; New Selection, Add to Selection, Subtract from Selection and Intersect with Selection.

Is your Patch Tool currently set to the correct mode?

[Doc_Pit]

Yes.  It is set to New.  After New, I've tried Add.  NG.  Thanks.

Hi Doc_Fit,

If you are still having the same problem, I would try reseting the Patch Tool.    

Thanks,

Sim

Here is a short video showing the patch tool and how it works on New Selection mode

Thanks for your assistance.  The problem was my own fault.  I had a layer mask associated with the image.  I must inadvertently put some stray marks on the mask.  Those stray marks were creating the "holes."  When I disabled the mask (which should have been the first thing I tried), the "holes" disappeared.  Sorry about that.  Thanks again.
