Patch tool. new function ?

Hello,

I'm a professional photographer and retoucher and I wish for further cc versions a new function in the patch tool. It would be great, that the selection will be automatically deselected when we change the tool. I work very often with stamp and patch tool with my Wacom tablet and I loose a lot of time, because very often I have to go back to the patch tool to deselect the selection (made by mistake). It would be nice that we could choose "deselect automatic" when we change from the patch tool to another tool.  What do you think ?  Andreas

      Can you not simply do a Ctrl+D or CMD+D to delselec?

      The solution is to keep the extreme left square selected. With this, the automatic de-select is enabled.

      Adobe Photoshop team, I sent feedback on this issue more than a year ago. You promised to fix this as this automatic deselection from the previous patch tool's selection already existed. Still, this is not fixed yet! This creates A LOT OF REWORK and slows down the work flow for professional photographers. Please assign resources to restore this feature and simply have selections automatically de-selected when clicking again the patch tool. It was there, should not be difficult to restore and will help thousands of people. Thanks.

      The patch tool used to deselect by itself when you selected a new area. The new feature where you have to patch something then deselect is slower....

        I completely agree.  I do alot of photo restoration and deselecting the patch tool is a big pain in the patutie. I used to be able to go over large areas without having to deselect every time. It went from - select/drag/select to select, drag, deselect, select. If anyone knows a way to fix this issue I would be very happy... Adobe!
