Working with the Spot & Patch Controls
An Overview of the Spot & Patch Adjustment
You use the Spot & Patch adjustment controls when you need to modify Spot & Patch parameter
settings that were applied using previous versions of Aperture. When using the Spot & Patch
adjustment to spot or patch your images, you can modify the appearance of the pixels within the
target overlays. You can also adjust the size of Spot & Patch target overlays.
Which Retouching Adjustment Should You Use?
Aperture provides two sets of controls that you can use to retouch your image: Retouch and
Spot & Patch.
In the vast majority of cases, Retouch provides the controls that will best serve your image-repair
needs. The Spot & Patch controls have been included in Aperture 3 in order to retain the integrity
of images that were adjusted with earlier versions of Aperture. In many cases, image repairs
might even be improved by removing an existing Spot & Patch repair and replacing it with a
Repair or Clone adjustment performed with the Retouch tool. For more information about the
Retouch tool, see An Overview of the Retouch Adjustment Controls on page 300.
There are certain situations in which Spot & Patch is the adjustment of choice. For example, an
artifact on or very near a curved edge in an image may be more eectively removed using the
Angle parameter.
