Edits within a photo on Mac
I want to copy a section of a photo in Photos and paste it in a different part of the same photo to cover something in the background. Retouch isn't effective for this.
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 13.5

You may want to try this:
Photos itself cannot combine parts of several images into one image, not even within the same image. Sometimes cloning with the retouch tool will suffice, if we repeat the cloning several times.
But we can copy the main subject of the photo to the clipboard, so we can paste it with Preview to a different part of the image.

Thank you. I miss the ease of Picasa (free) and have found nothing that compares with it (without a price) since it was discontinued. Copy and paste should not be a difficult tool to add to Photos.
I usually use GraphicConverter for stuff like this. But, have you tried using Photos' retouch tool as a stamp? You option-click on the thing you want copied, and then retouch the other thing, and as you swipe, the clicked part is copied there. It's a little funky (you don't see it happen in real time, for instance), but it might do just what you want.
Here I copied the date to another part of the watch face.
Try editing the phone and making the frame smaller. Your question doesn't make any sense but I think I know what you mean. If you have photoshop, or procreate, or any of those sort of apps. You should be able to photoshop it.

The question does make sense, and was answered by léonie
Example: the background of my photo is a green lawn. On the lawn is an item I wish to remove. Before Picasa was discontinued I was able to select another part of the lawn, copy it, and place it over the item I wish to hide, all on the same screen.
