Healing brush Mode Resetting - CS5

In CS5, the mode for the healing brush is resetting anytime I change to a tool other than one in the healing group (e.g., spot healing, red eye, etc.).
This happens even with temporary tools changes...for example, in Healing Brush, I set the mode to Replace, press and hold Z for Zoom and when I release the key, I'm back to healing but the mode is set back to Normal!
Am I missing a setting somewhere?  This didn't happen with CS4 and doesn't seem to happen with any other brush-based tools.
Thanks.

I should add, I'm running CS5 in Windows 7 64-Bit.

  • Roblem with the Spot Healing Brush Tool in CS5

    I have a problem with the Spot Healing Brush Tool in CS5. When opening a number of files to work on them the Spot Healing Brush works initially fine and without any problems. After a few files the Spot Healing Brush doesn't work any longer, even I didn't changed any settings. So far I solved the problem by closing and reopening CS5 which is not a very efficent way to solve the problem Does anybody have an idea what is causing the problem and more important how I can fix it.

    A visual guide just in case
    To reset, select your Tool, right, or ctrl-click (Mac) on its' icon in the top Option bar, and you should see  the reset menu.

  • Sample point of Healing Brush tool in CS5

    Hi.
    In my previous version of PS (CS2) when using the Healing Brush tool the sample point remained in the same place after alt-clicking - irrelevant of where I moved around the image - this is great for spotting large areas of similiar colours as you know the sample area is clean.
    With CS5, the sample spot seems to move with the mouse - as in, it always stays the same distance from the mouse as you move around.
    Is there a setting I can change that will make it work similar to CS2?
    Thanks

    Uncheck aligned and see if that helps.

  • Photoshop CS5 Spot Healing Brush only blurs

    Here's a before and after shot.  I recently upgraded from CS3 and the spot healing brush always worked great. 
    Now when I use it, whether or not I use content aware fill, it leaves a blurred residue of what I was trying to remove. 
    As an aside, the Content Aware Fill leaves a similar residue, enough to make it effectively unusable.
    I have included a sample photo of the spot healing brush problem.  Left side is before and right side is after. 
    I just wanted to get rid of the electrical wall socket.  You can see that it's not working.  I am running windows 8 in a 64-bit environtment and running the 64-bit version of Photoshop CS5.5
    Any assitance anyone is able to afford me is greatly appreciated.

    In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with your choice of Spot Healing Brush for this image. I cropped your screenshot to the "BEFORE" image, removed the "BEFORE" type (with the SHB) and scaled to 600% to match your original document.
    A dab of a 0% hardness 500 pixel Spot Healing Brush in Ps CS5.1 on OS X 10.6.8 worked perfectly. However, I would have made a vertical stroke with the brush at about 80% hardness and about 200 pixels, which also works for me.
    Maybe your SHB is working in "Create Texture" mode despite specifying "Proximity Match" in Options bar. Try resetting the SHB by right-clicking its icon at left of Options bar and picking "Reset Tool" from the menu that appears.

  • Problem Defining Source in CS5 for Clone Stamp and Healing Brush

    I am struggling to define the source point for clone stamp or healing brush in Photoshop CS5. When I first installed the program it was working just as the instructions were set out in the help menu (e.g. alt click to define the source and then move the cursor to find the area to fix). I don't know what has happened, or if I've accidentally re-set something, but now when I 'alt-click' the entire photo is selected, and even when I let go, there is a layer consisting of the entire photo (not just one point) that moves over an exact copy of the same photo underneath. This happens regardless of whether I've created an extra adjustment layer. Help! (it used to work just fine. I don't know what I've done to change it)

    Ok I am not sure what you are trying to do, but I believe it is to repair or correct some anomoly on an image you are working on.
    With CS5 there is the patch tool the healing brush tool and the new spot healing tool (very cool of you have not played with it yet.)
    I think what you are looking at, The "Clone Stamp" is not the tool you are looking for. the clone stamp esentually does exactly what you are talking about. It clones the layer you have highlighted so when you run your brush it paints that image.
    The healing and redeye removal tools are all one grouping right click on the brush to make your choice.
    I hope this helps.

  • When I use spot or healing brush it works a little and then starts leaving dark smudges or lines

    The spot and healing brush seems to work a little, but then leaves dark smudges or even complete dark lines.  Also seems to pick up other objects in the picture as if it is copying a section of the picture.  Have tried to reset, but nothing works.

    The Spot Healing Brush in Photoshop CS5 uses Content Aware Fill, and it's function is EXACTLY to go find other parts of the picture to fill in over what you clicked on.  What is it that you expect it to do if not that?
    As Christoph has said, please provide some image examples.  It may be that it's not working correctly, but it's impossible to tell whether you're seeing it do what's expected without seeing the before/after results you're seeing.

  • 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.
    Mac OS 10.6.3, MacPro 2 X 3 GHz Quad-Core Intel 16GB ram NVIDIA GE-Force 8800 GT graphics card running CS5 in 32 bit mode.

    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.

    PS CS5 Extended on Windows
    When trying to use the clone stamp and/or healing brush as soon as I move the cursor from the toolbar over to the image I get an exact copy of the existing layer that moves around the window with the movement of the clone stamp/healing brush.  This just started tonight.  What's causing this weird behaviour?

    What are the settings in Window > Clone Source?

  • Help CS5 content aware healing brush

    Sorry for the dumb question folks. I just upgraded and when I click on my healing brush, I do not have a Content Aware option. What am I doing wrong. The porgram defaults to asking me to option click to determine what to use. I am running CS5 on and Imac.
    Thanks for the help.

    The content aware option is for the spot healing brush, not the healing brush.

  • Healing Brush tool CS5

    Hey everybody, I just recently got PS CS5 Extended and tried playing around with it a little bit. To be honest I don't like the way the Healing Brush tool works in this version and was wondering if there is some way to make it work as it did in PS CS3 Extended which I used before. I just feel that in CS3 it did a better job of blending whereas in CS5 it seems as if it is doing more "smudging" so to speak than actual blending.
    Any and all help is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

    I am not aware that the behaviour of that tool has been changed between CS3 and CS5; are you sure you use the same settings?

  • Healing brush is not showing content-aware selection in CS5

    Help. The healing brush is no longer showing the content-aware selection in CS5. What is wrong here? Have I changed a setting that I am too inexperienced to know about?

    Well, duh! I thought I had done that. Thank you very much. I feel a bit embarrassed to be so inept.

  • Healing Brush on Blank Layer CS3 vs. CS5

    I just recently upgraded from CS3 to CS5.  I have a lot to catch up on since it's been a few years since I was heavy into the photography.  One thing I noticed was that PS wouldn't let me use the Healing Brush on a blank layer.  My old method on CS3 was to open a file, create a new layer, leave it blank, select that layer, and sample/heal all within that layer.  I tried to do this on CS5 and it's not happnening.
    Is it still possible to work the way I did in the past or is there a new method of using the Healing brush on a blank layer?   I don't like working directly on the background image. 

    Awesome, that's the solution.  Been a while since I was in action...this was one of those "Duh?!" moments, thanks!

  • Cs5 Healing Brush not working @ 32bit channel on openExr format

    Hi..
    Cs5 Healing Brush not supporting 32bit workflow.. if i want to work on hdr 32bit EXR, the Healing brush not supporting at all. if i want to work i ve to convert them into 16bit.. why its like.. that..?  if i convert 32->16->32 is it possible any color loss.?. can any one  explain technically ...
    in cs5 if i try to change 16bit its asking hdri tone maping.. how could skip this process. i just want to convert 16bit and few touch-ups with healing brush. and i want to revert to 32bit. this convertion process causes any color info..
    i want to keep my data in to 32float itself. and i want to use healing brush..
    Thanks
    panner

    can any one  explain technically ...
    Because the author of the healing brush code hasn't updated it (or related tools) to work in 32 bit/channel yet.
    (and the person who wrote most of the 32 bit support code couldn't untangle that code to get it working himself)

  • Pen tool/path and content aware spot healing brush to remove cables (CS5)

    Tried to remove some cables from an image using Russel Brown's video making use of the pen tool/path and the spot healing brush with content aware.  I'm pretty sure I followed his tutorial exactly but it did not work satisfactorily.  Are there any other tweaks I should be using to remove these cables and replace them with the background details?

    Yes to all.
    Silkrooster  - Looks great!  However, I believe spot healing brush was the first I tried and got smudgy results, especially in area of the locks where there is a lot of detail behind the cables.  Found the patch tool works best, but not where there is a lot of detail behind the cables.
    Fosse - Well, the bow of the ship going through the Panama Canal at 6 AM in the morning is a popular place, very crowded, and not one of them a photographer.  I was lucky enough to get the last spot which was dead center, but in front of the cables.  I tried to prevail on some people next to me to trade spots, but none were willing ($##$!!!&& b---ds) and they didn't even have cameras.  However, will keep your suggestion in mind about taking two shots for the next time...and will have to get up earlier.
    I think if I want to really make this work, I will have to do a lot of work, probably using a combination of all these methods.
    Thanks to you all.
    By the way, Re my question on screens without a reply button...when I click on a response, it appears without any reply button.  How do I get a screen showing the reply button without entering a new question, cancelling out of it, and then clicking on a response, which is the only way I found to get a screen showing the reply button.
