how to create the patch tool if you don't have it in elements . . .
While on the duplicate layer, grab the Lasso tool and draw around the area you wish to patch. (blemish,dark circles under eyes,etc)
Click Select>Feather, and set it to a value to soften the edges. I use somewhere around 25.
Click Select>Transform, left-click and drag your selection to an area that you wish to patch from.
Click the green arrow after you are satisfied with your selection.
Hold down the CTRL key,left-click and drag the selection to where you want to patch. Release the mouse key and click Select>Deselect.
You can use the opacity control to adjust the result to your liking.
There are many CS features in Elements 9 now. This Patch Tool
work-around should work on older Elements versions. Give it a try and play with it.
