Claim:
1. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon, which, when executed by one or more processors of a computing device, provide the computing device with a graphics editor to: receive input identifying a target region within an image, wherein the target region is to be synthesized; perform a patch synthesis technique to synthesize the target region based on portions of a source region within the image, wherein the portions of the source region are identified by the patch synthesis technique, at least one iteration of the patch synthesis technique including: identification of groupings of pixels that have converged in at least one other iteration of the patch synthesis technique; and generation of an active mask that indicates one or more portions of the target region as inactive, the one or more portions of the target region being composed of the groupings of pixels that have converged in the at least one other iteration of the patch synthesis technique, wherein at least one process of the patch synthesis technique ignores the one or more portions of the target region that are indicated as inactive by the active mask for the at least one iteration of the patch synthesis technique.
