Editor spot healing brush using slider to adjust size

Is there anyway to make the "slider for size adjustment" more visible when using Editor Spot Healing Brush"?
On my system, the slider bar is black and against the dark gray of the Editor Screen" it makes it very difficlt for me see it.

Try using the square bracket keys on the keyboard.
[ to decrease size
] to increase size

Photoshop Elements 9 shutting down when using the Spot Healing Brush

Hello! I recently downloaded and
installed the PSE 9 on my PC. Obviously I wanted to check out it's possibil
ities and especially the Spot Healing Brush. The program seems to work fine until I want to use the Spot Healing Brush
As soon as I try to apply something to a picture, I get the message something is wrong with "photoshopeditor.exe" and needs to shut down the program.
That's really annoying and hopefully someone may have the answer and solution why it does this. I run the program on Windows XP (SP3).
I really appreciate your help. Best regards, CharlesHHH.

Hello MTSTUNER,
Somehow my post showed up twice. Anyway...just updated to 9.01 and problem solved!!
Thanks so much for your quick feedback. Much appreciated. Will now go into exploring its possibilities.

Photoshops elements 9 shuts down when using the Spot healing brush

Hello all, I just downloaded and installed a trial version of Photoshop Elements 9. Of course I wanted to use that supposedly great "heal" tool. The program seems to work fine, but as soon as I use the Spot Healing Brush, I get the message that something occured and the program has to shut down. It's installed on a Windows XP, SP3 PC. Can anyone shed some light on why this is happening? I appreciate you help. Best regards,

Could not use the spot healing brush because of an internal error!

Hi All. I have been trying out the Photoshop CC trial and all is well but all of a sudden I have been getting the "could not use the spot healing brush because of an internal error" message when I'm using the healing brush rapidly! I'm sending the tiff file from Capture One Pro 8 as a Tiff file so I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it.
Many Thanks

Hi it does not crash but I looked in the Photoshop Crashes folder anyway and it was empty! The message flags up and then press OK to remove it.

Mulit-colored artifacts using Spot Healing Brush-CS3.

This is the first time using this tool. Not sure what's causing this (see attached screengrab of tiff image captured at 200% view). These colored artifacts happen only after using the Spot Healing Brush tool in CS3 AFTER I save, close and reopen the tiff file. I have compression turned off saving scanned image as a tiff.
Is this possible file corruption? I'm thinking it may be from using a soft brush but don't understand why it would only show up after a save, close and reopen. It doesn't show up right when I apply the edit.

R_Kelly, I appreciate your attempt at explaining this. But I think you should know after I scanned the old B&W photographic print as a 16bit RGB tiff, I selected out the red channel, converted the image to grayscale and edited to final tonality. After that I converted to ProPhotoRGB (dithering off-16bit), duped the image and applied a sepia effect using Photo Filter on one copy, another sepia colorization in Variation on the other and combined the two blending at 50% opacity. (Note: to add this sepia effect I was forced to work in 8 bit, but these artifacts showed up even in other scans of old B&W photos in 16 bit color).
There was no clipping of data in the mid-range where these artifacts showup (and no where else in the image using this tool as well-just this one spot on the face). There was a minimal amount of clipping in the red channel highlights from small specs scanning 100 year old paper.
I did a google search on this and it doesn't seem to be prevalent which made me wonder what was going on. One RetouchPro.com thread shows up mentioning artifacts associated with Spot Healing Brush but no specifics on what type of artifacts. I posted over there and no one confirmed this was typical behavior of this tool as well.
So I'm really only concerned in knowing if this is normal behavior from this tool and not corruption of the tiff file. I found a workaround to noticeably reduce these artifacts by working on a layer set to 50% opacity. It appears setting the SHB panel option to "Create Texture" makes it worse compared to "Proximity Match".
This is a VERY handy tool for smoothing paper texture and film grain in scanned enlargements of old photos without making it look like smooth plastic.

Photo moves while using spot healing brush

I've been using the spot healing brush basically on every photo but recently when I go to use it and press Option to get a clone source and then click my mouse the photo will move everywhere the mouse moves and not allow for a touch up.
It doesn't matter if I'm clicking the mouse the whole time or not, it just happens when i click once while using the healing brush.
I've tried reseting work space reseting my computer everything and I'm just desperate right now to figure out how to fix it.
because my latest photo shoot is of a young girl covered in acne and the spot healing brush is the best when it comes to making it blend.
i've asked everyone i know who uses photoshop and they have no idea. I can't be the only person this has happened to.

I guess you meant the healing brush? (the clone overlay is not supposed to be active with the
spot healing brush)
If your using cs4/cs5, check Clipped or Auto Hide in the clone source panel (Window>Clone Source) and see if that's better.

Problems using the Spot Healing Brush

I've tried to use the spot healing brush on a number of photos but it doesn't work at all - I've watched the video tutorial, but wehen I try and use it nothing happens - it appears to be the only part of Lightroom 5 that doesn't work.
How can I solve this problem?

Keith,
This is what happens when I try and use the Spot Healing Brush:
I can select spots to heal/delete/duplicate - both single and multiple
After selection and hitting "done" nothing happens.
Consequently the spots I jhave tried to heral appear on the exported picture.
I would expect the Spot Healing Brush in Lightroom 5 to acxt the same as in Adobe Photshop Elements 10 - ie. you see the spot disapear, but for some reason it is not.
Hence the question, as I am wondering whether I'm doing something wrong-I've wateched the tutorial and it doesn't give me any clues as to whether I am doing anything wrong to erase/remove the spots.

I using windows seven for Photoshop and when I use the spot healing brush or the brush tool I get a cross hair and not the circle ?

How do I fix this issue? some time it works and the other times I get the cross hair

I know this post doesn't really help you guys, but I'm also using PSE9 on a Win7 Intel Quad Core Dell computer and the spot healing brush works fine. I only offer this post to indicate that it apparently is not a universal bug in PSE9. Perhaps an Adobe expert can jump in here and help. I can only offer that in Preferences I do have the RAM dialed up to 80%, but I don't think this is related to your problem.

PSE 9 crashes when I use the Spot Healing Brush tool

When I use the Spot Healing Brush tool PSE9 crashs completly. Is it a bug? In the older version 8 I had no problem.
I use WIN XP SP2, Intel Pentium 4, 3 Ghz, GPU: NVIDIA Geforce FX 5700, DirectX 9.0c 4.09.00.0904.
I tried it also on another PC with WIN7 and it caused the same problem.
Thanks for any adivse

Spot healing brush issues in photoshop elements 11

I am new to photoshop elements 11. I am trying to use the spot healing brush. I select "content aware,' "sample all layers," and a brush, but I only get the cross hairs of the cursor, and not the black circle. My cursor preferences are currently at the default. I get a black line when I press the mouse key, but nothing changes in the photo. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

I found that I had some problematic brush settings. I've developed this checklist for when I have similar issues:
o Try changing the px on the brush slider in thespot healing tool
o Go to the BRUSH tool (B), change opacity asneeded (probably 100%), go to the brush settings drop down and change thehardness (again probably to 100%)
o Check that CAPS LOCK is NOT on
o Go to the center icon (lower right by the ?),drop down, then select "reset all Tools," then restart the photoeditor
o Then try to reset the editor preferences: Quitthe editor, restart it from the welcome screen while holding downctrlshiftalt, then say "yes" to delete the settings file
You don't have to do all of these things. They are just things to check when you have brush problems. So now I'm working OK. I hope that this works for you.

Spot healing brush preset

Hello. I have a couple of hot pixels on the sensor and removing them individually from each picture is time consuming. Is there a way to apply the spot healing brush on one picture where needed and copy the brush strokes onto the other pictures since the spots remain stuck in exactly the same places on all images?
In other words I'd like to batch-heal all images at once.
Thank you,
David

So, first I have to make a selection/s and then Edit - Fill - ... ? If so, which tool would be best to make my tiny selections?
No, it doesn't have to be a smart object.
I'm kind of envisioning tying an action to a key that you can press when you're editing your document and want to make the change, but how you want to use it is entirely up to you.
Actions can seem a bit geeky, but once you get the hang of recording your steps as actions, and get used to the editor in the Actions panel, they can be quite useful for making repeatable functions that can be surprisingly complex. To record an action, name it appropriately then just do the operations you want to repeat on a representative image, then stop the recording. Brush strokes won't record, but most everything else will.
Since hot pixels affect probably 1 or maybe as many as 9 pixels, I'd suggest just using the rectangular marquee tool to make the very small selections (you can, of course, make more than one by holding down the shift key). Note that this assumes you'll be using the same sized images each time, and as I mentioned the locations will be different for a portrait and a landscape image.
Have fun with actions!

Spot/Healing Brush Tool?

I have used the Spot/Healing Brush in Lgtrm3 and now have Lgtrm 5; however, my Spot/Healing Brush in 5 does not work. I will click on the healing brush then adjust my brush size then click on the spot, then click "done". Nothing happens. Am I missing a step or is it the program?
Gentle Teacher

Rikk,
Thanks for the help. I didn't realize that there was an opacity slifer for theSpot Brush. I see that if I increase the feathering there are times when it seems to leave a ghost. Any ideas? Also, When removing spots why would you use a feather edge as opposed to a hard one and how much feathering should a person use? I realize that these questions may require more time than you have but any comment or suggestion would be appreciated.
