1. Select the part of the image you want to fill.
2. Choose Edit > Fill.
   On the Background layer, press Delete or Backspace to quickly access the Fill dialog box.
3. From the Use menu, select one of the following:

   Content-Aware

   Seamlessly fills the selection with similar image content nearby. For the best results, create a selection that extends slightly into the area you want to replicate. (A quick lasso or marquee selection is often sufficient.)

   Content-aware fills randomly synthesize similar image content. If you don’t like your original results, choose Edit > Undo, and apply another Content-aware fill.

   Pattern

   Click the inverted arrow next to the pattern sample, and select a pattern from the pop‑up panel. You can load additional patterns using the pop‑up panel menu. Select the name of a library of patterns, or choose Load Patterns and navigate to the folder containing the patterns you want to use.

   Note: If Pattern is dimmed, you need to load a pattern library prior to making a selection. (See Manage pattern libraries and presets.)

   History

   Restores the selected area to the source state or snapshot set in the History panel.
