What are those things in the sky, below the arrowhead in the "After" photo of the family vacation? Could Patch Match have added birds when it removed the tree?
Fine to promote such a quick and dirty feature, but it would also be helpful to discuss for what type of output resolution it's actually good for and also show 100% of the finished Patch. If this is good only for low res web output, that's one thing, but don't mislead your readers if it's going to do a horrible job and need lots of corrections for any high res outputs or when viewed at 100% as our editors do when scrutenizing our work.
I am for one so very tired or stupid quick and dirty techniques that go no where for high res work but yet are talked about as the next salvation, but with no regard to the exact end use, nor show 100% views of the work at the end resolution. Anything can look good enough of the web.
I remember the story that everyone used to tell when digital imaging first came into general awareness.
A lady comes into a photo lab with a print of park scene. In the center of the image is a large tree. She asks: "Can you take this tree out so I can see what's behind it?"
That was a joke once, but now we know—behind the tree is a cloud. I can't wait for this to come in Photoshop.

Patch Match? For what kind of output?

Wow. I remember the story

Where is "patch match"
I buy PS CS5 but I did not found "Patch Match". I saw on You Tube tutorials, but I found not patchmatch in my PS CS5 ext.

Re: Where is "patch match"
In the shipping version of Photoshop CS5, it is called Content-Aware Fill.
