Healing Brush and /

Using LR 5.3 on a PC with Windows 8.1. The function "Select new source" in panel Healing Brush doesn't work with Shift+7.

Quote:
Wow, are you out of your mind? Hey lets clone the screwed up area to the good area... what?
Dude select the source, being an area that looks good, to clone to the bad area, to repair it.
That aside do like the previous poster, and reset your preferences. If that is to hard to do, uninstall the software, put it back int he box, and return it. The issue is not the software, its Pebkac (problem exists between keyboard and chair.)
I have reset the preferences and the problem is not me or as you call it (Pebkac). But thanks you were SO helpful.

Issue with Healing Brush and Wacom Tablet

I use a Wacom Intuos 4 for retouching. Photoshop CC 2014 gets stuck when I use the healing brush. I hold the Alt-key down and take a sample with the healing brush, and when I go to paint and the cross-hair gets stuck inside of the circle and the tool stops responding. After I remove the pen from the tablet I get the round spinning little balls as Photoshop is thinking and then everything works again. It's very annoying when retouching skin. It doesn't do it every time I use the tool just at random. Anyone else having this issue? I've tried many different driver versions for the Wacom and it does it no matter what version. I've also reset the tool. I've done everything but reformat the hard drive. I'm using windows 7 64bit.

I got a response from Wacom Support about this issue.
Actually this is a known issue with Photoshop CC 2014. This is a third party application. You have the current driver for windows 7 and the tablet works fine. Wacom ensures that your tablet works perfectly for any issues except third party application support. I would recommend that you tried contacting Adobe regarding this.

Great. All I got from contacting both Adobe and Wacom support was finger pointing and acknowledgement of a problem. At this point any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Can the removal spots (circular) be resized like they could in LR 4?

Clone Stamp & Healing Brush and alignment

I have PSE9. I am having excellent success in removing collars from the dog pictures I am working on when using the Clone Stamp and Healing Brush tools in combination. The book I am learning from says if I want to select pixels from a single source to deselect the align option. However whether I have the align option selected or not, I am getting the corresponding crosshair sampling pixels as the tools are brushed on the image. I know I can do even better if I can maintain a single sampling source. How do I select and maintain a single sampling source for these two tools? Thanks, Jim.

Thank you for your response, but forgive me for asking for clarity. I will be removing alot of dog collars. The collar is red and is surrounded by white and black fur. Just to make sure I understand, as I use the two tools, even with the Aligned option deselected, I will need to keep identifying source pixels multiple times as I brush out the collar. There is absolutely no way ((I tried the single click) to select one source and brush wherever I like on the photo and remove the replace the pixels with the one source. Thank you for your patience, Jim.

What is the difference between healing brush and spot healing brush?

Please tell me as fast as possible.

Key extract from Arpit's excellent link above:
Unlike the Healing Brush, the Spot Healing Brush doesn’t require you to specify a sample spot. The Spot Healing Brush automatically samples from around the retouched area.

Healing brush/clone stamp cursor is dark.

I hope I've overlooked something very simple. In CS3 on my PC, the circular cursor for healing brush and clone stamp (probably others, too) is always a contrasting color to the underlying image so the circle is always very visible. With the same preferences set, CS4 always has a very dark, perhaps black circular cursor, so that in dark areas, it completely disappears, making it difficult to select the correct area.
Just me, my PC or CS4?
Thanks!

Thanks for the answer.
I have not mentioned the GPU because the processes I described (as far as I know) are not supposed to be using GPU resources. So far I have not been able to afford the GPU i want which is GTX770, so I use Intel 4600 built in graphics instead. To be honest I find, that 4600 graphics is quite powerful. I am able to play Mass Effect 3 on Full spec on max res without game slowing down. And Windows 7 64bit index score is 7.8 for the 4600 graphics. Overall index score is 7.8 on my PC righ now.
I'll try to get the Photoshop system info as soon as possible.
Thanks again.

Healing Brush's sampler remains active, wreaking havoc

I am a first-time user of Photoshop Elements (8, just arrived today), but I think I've discovered a bug:
When I try to use the Healing Brush, I Alt+Click on an area I want to copy, and then begin painting over the blemishes. However, the pixels replacing the blemishes are NOT what I clicked on, but are constantly changing, and I see a second cursor over to the right that is sampling pixels as I paint/heal. If the second cursor (which moves in lockstop with my mouse movements and the cursor I'm controlling, but off to the side) moves over a black spot, my brush paints black; if it moves over a thick line, a thick line is painted in the area where I want to "heal."
Is this an undocumented feature, a new bug in APE8, or what?
IOW, rather than continually applying the same thing (what I Alt+Clicked on), the Healing Brush is mirroring whatever the "ghost" cursor is over.

You have the overlay option turned on. When you drag rather than click, the healing brush and the clone stamp will automatically sample in a pattern following the movement of the brush, beginning where you alt clicked. You can turn the overlay off in the options bar, but you can't keep these tools from going into aligned mode when you drag. (The overlay is new; the aligned-when-dragging behavior isn't.)
The dark area under the cursor is to show you your stroke more carefully. It has no effect on the final result any more than the marching ants type outline in previous versions. It's just a visibility aid.

CS5 Healing brush & Clone tool Strange Problems

When I option click a sample point to heal or clone, then release the mouse or pen, the sampled area remains in the brush diameter even though I haven't healed or cloned anything yet. Just moving the mouse or pen around includes the image of the sampled area all over the image. What gives?
Wasn't always like this, just last few days. For example if I select and area with lips on a face, then move the brush to the cheek, the image of the lips remains in the brush area. Very frustrating. Any help would be much appreciated. This is with both the healing brush and clone stamp tools.

That is a preference that was added in Photoshop CS4 to preview the cloned area (makes it easier to align).
Go to the Clone Source palette, and turn off "Show Overlay" if you don't want to see the preview.
You might want to take some time to read up on the Clone Source palette, and the options it offers -- it can really speed up a lot of common cloning tasks.

CS5 64-bit Content Aware Fill kills Healing brush, clone stamp

Here's the deal:
1) Open image for retouching-background layer only
2) Make copy of background layer 'cause I never retouch there and CAF won't work on the blank layer I use for all other retouching
3) Add blank layer above the previous two layers for clone stamp/healing work--can't use it for content-aware fill
4) Find something that will retouch better with CAF than cloning or healing and fix it with CAF on layer 2
5) The healing brush and clone stamp now do not work. I can see them, and the clone stamp continues to preview in the brush correctly, but when clicked nothing happens.
The only solution I've found is to save the image and restart CS5.

Okay, I duplicated your setup exactly with CS5 64 bit on Win 7 x64. Background layer, copy of background layer, and transparent touch-up layer.
You are unclear about exactly how you're invoking the Content Aware Fill.
I went through exactly the steps you suggested, as evidenced by the following Photoshop Edit log excerpt. I saw NO difficulties using the Clone tool in the last step.
Are you aware you can use the SPOT Healing Brush, in Content Aware mode, to do what you're doing on the transparent top layer (thereby avoiding the need to work on the background copy layer)? It is able to deal with the image being on the lower layers.

Where is the spot healing brush?

Hello Everyone,
I've been a Lightroom user for a couple of years now but very new to photoshop. Still figuring out all the cool stuff this program has to offer. I want to use the spot healing brush to touch up a few images but I'm not able to locate it in Photoshop CS5. I've looked in what I thought were the most logical places, looked thorugh the documentation and did some searching online but I haven't yet found the icon/function I'm looking for. I do see the healing brush and I have been able to use the content-aware fill function successfully
The format of the working image (raw, jpeg) seems to make no difference. I read online that the spot healing brush only works with jpeg images. Is this true? I was able to use content aware fill on a raw image.
Here's a screenshot showing all the tools and the various tool presets. I'm running CS5 version 12.0.4 x64 on Windows 7. Would appreciate it if someone can let me know what I'm missing here?
Thanks,
Dini

The spot healing brush is located in the same tool slot as the healing brush, just
click and hold on the healing brush icon in the tool box to see the hidden tools.
As far as i know the spot healing brush works on most other images besides jpegs, so
no it's not true that the spot healing brush only works on jpegs.

Spot healing Brush doesn't drag

I ust PS CS5, Windows 7 64 bit, i7 processor, 16 gb of ram
My spot healing brush doesn't drage. The healing brush and all other brushes work normally. Before yesterday it was woking normally. The brush will make a round patch the size of the brush, but I can't paint with the brush.
Any thoughts?

Not sure what could be preventing you from dragging the brush, but try resetting the tool...

Spot healing brush in PS6

The spot healing brush, all of a sudden, only shows the cross hairs on the screen. The size WILL change in the tool bar but the circle will not display on the screen. I must have inadvertently clicked on something. What do I do now? Thanks. Jean

Also, be sure you have the spot healing brush and not the regular healing brush.

Spot healing brush icon same on screen

Can anyone help? When I turn on the spot healing brush, (and the clone stamp tool, and maybe others too), I used to get an indication of the size selected when I moved the tool across the photo on the screen - but now I just get an icon representing the tool, with no indication of the size selected - it's driving me mad. I'm sure there's something easily corrected here....but what??
Many thanks!

Hello!
It might be a preference that you checked: go to Photoshop>Preferences>Cursors, and select another setting than Standard in Painting cursors , for instance Normal or Full Size brush tip.

Elements uses drive space to make its calculations, like someone writing down measurements on a scrap of paper. How much free space is there on your hard drive?
