I use Adobe Photoshop-versie: 21.1.2 20200410.r.136 2020/04/10 x64 on Windows 10 Pro x64 build 1909.

 

When I use the patch tool I get a strange effect, as if the patch tool had a feather option.

Very weird is that it doesn't happen all the time

 

see attached files for the Content-Aware Patch options and a picture of the strange effect

Hi,

The patch tool does not have a feather option afaik.

You can confirm this by choosing quickmask mode off the bottom fo the toolbox to see the edge (Shortcut: Q)

The reason is because Ps is trying to merge the content into pixels behind your selection.

One can adjust the structure amount or toggle between content aware and normal modes.
