Yep. This is one of them that can be used: https://www.cyberlink.com/learning/photodirector-photo-editing-software/966/how-to-use-content-aware-clone%7C-photodirector-editing-tutorial.

This appears to be for cutting out an object and pasting it somewhere else. I want to brush an area that is blemished or missing content from an area that has content. With CL clone tool, it is a straight cut and paste?

thanks

The more details you can provide in your request, the better the forum responses will be. tomasc perfectly answered your OP, but now it sounds like what you're actually looking for is Smart Patch.

In this case I have an image of a candy box with a small cut out on the bottom that I would like to fill with a section from the surrounding area. With PS this is using the clone tool to select an adjacent area and then brushing this on to the area of fill. The defect is shown in the attached. thank you all for your help.

See your earlier post: https://forum.cyberlink.com/forum/posts/list/81514.page . You may have used the content aware background remover and need to clean it up.

I find that the Layers/ Smart magic wand on the background may do a much better job. You can also make straight cuts with the lasso., add or subtract as needed just as well as with any other image program with all the tools. You can always apply and undo to get it exactly right before exporting the candy box without a background.

Thanks
I'm finally getting it with the cut and paste.
I also didn't realize there is a clone and healing tool in the adjustment section.
I really appreciate your help.
