Healing brush shape dynamics
Does anyone know if there are brush shape options for the healing brush? It seems that when I use the shift button (to draw a straight line), the resulting path is like the brush with "shape dynamics" on, which I usually leave off. Is there a way to alter this?
Thanks,
Randy
Hi Randy,
Double check the Size: drop down menu in the Brush dialog. You access that by clicking on the Brush image in the Options Bar. Set the Size: dialog to Off and see if that solves your problem.

Spot Healing Brush Shape Dynamics?
Is it possible to change the shape dynamics of the Spot Healing Brush Tool? I see where to on any of the other brush tools but not for this.
Using Photoshop CS4.
Thanks,
Wesleyuse can change the brush shape to an oval and rotate it as well as change the size. but you can't use the brush panel with all the fancy stuff.

Why won't CS6 load brush shape dynamics from brush presets?
I have a bunch of saved brush presets that I use on multiple computers and photoshop versions.
In CS6 suddenly my brush presets won't load correctly when I pick a brush.
When I pick a brush I'll get all the correct brush settings EXCEPT for the Shape Dynamics. Shape Dynamics will remain the same throughout all my different brushes.
I've done all of the following steps and in various combinations with no result:
reloaded my brush presets
resaved my brush presets
re install my wacom drivers
unplugged and re-plugged my wacom
restarted my computer
update photoshop
I'm using Photoshop CS6 (64Bit) on windows 8
My tablet is a Intuos 5 touch L
Thanks beforehandTwo things to check
The Pressure Override could be enabled for size in the tool options bar
The Lock button to the right of Shape Dynamics in the Brush panel could be enabled -
Is there a way to turn of shape dynamics in the brush dialog in CS5? I used to be able to uncheck if in previous version of CS, and it would stay unchecked. Now it will not stay unchecked.
If the icon (circled in red below) is enabled, this may be
the cause.
Try clicking the icon to disable and see if that helps.

Brush Shape Dynamics - thin begining - big middle - thin ending stroke
Have CS3 on XP.
I am trying to get a pen stroke that starts out thin...gets normal size in the middle...and then shrinks back down to a thin line at the end.
In brush dynamics... I am able to get a thin ending on a stroke but not a thin beginning. Im using the size jitter control set to fade at 300 to get a line that fades to thin OK at the end...but I cant make the beginning thin!
I am trying to stroke a curved path for Christmas designs...scroll kind of looks...thin beginning...fat middle...thin end.
ThanksRead Jeff's post #1. If you check off the shape and other dynamics you'll see a more accurate preview of your brush. See the yellow warning:

When I use the spot healing brush or the healing brush, the actual output is a tiny spot in the center of the round brush cursor. It doesn't matter what size the brush is; it still outputs just a point in the center of the round cursor. It's driving me crazy!
My paint brush was doing the same thing until I turned off the Shape Dynamics.
Settings:
Clone Source > Show overly (unchecked)
Clone Source > Clipped (unchecked)
Brushes > Shape dynamics (unchecked, locked)

Thanks for your help.This is the healing and spot healing brush or tool if you wish.
This not a bad feature request and perhaps a brilliant one Phil, to have the healing and spot healing and patch tool to have the option to heal on a separate layer so you never actually do anything to the original with these tools and give you a chance to edit what you have done with the eraser and history brush, opacity settings and mode blending.
Also a chance to redefine the edges of the healed or patch regions. It's an outstanding inspiration. You set the reference and then when you start using the tool it creates a layer if you need yet another layer you hold down a key combination and a new layer associated with
future use of the tool is on that layer unless you hod down a key combination that sets you back to the previous layer.
This is just a wonderfully delightful ingenious impulse. -
Fade for size jitter in shape dynamics doesn't work
I have CS6.
I used to be able to fade out brushes under the Size Jitter in Shape Dynamics but can't now. I open up CS3 and I can do it in there. Any idea why it isn't working in CS6?Minimum Diameter is at 0, it has been before when fade worked.
Here is a screen shot.
I have Fade at 50%, yet it hasn't changed. I moved the slider for Mininum Diameter and nothing changed. -
I've got Elements 9 on my machine but the Spot Healing Brush doesn't show up on the Tool bar. The healing brush is there but not the Spot Healing Brush. And the Content Aware functionality isn't available either. Can anybody help?
Hold down the mouse button on the healing brush tool icon to reveal the additional tool.
Click the down arrow next to the brush shape and select "Reset All Tools":

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?

Photoshop CC and 2014 spot healing brush tool causing blue screen on windows 8.1
Hi,
The problem is when I'm using spot healing brush tool soon as apply it it causing fatal error on my windows. I have all suite up to date.
please advice.First thing to do is check you have all the latest device drivers for all your devices and all windows 8 updates. Printer drivers, Display Drivers, Network drivers etc. It is not possible for an Application program like Photoshop.exe to cause a Blue Screen. However Applications use devices and device drivers are able to do things application programs can not do.

Previous versions of elements would show brush sizes with a circle. Using brackets, you could see the size
increase/decrease. Elements 8 only shows a bandaid for the healing brush, no indication on photo of the brush size. Also, if I set text size to large, some tools show as 3, i.e., 3 hands, 3 bandaids, etc. Anyone else have this problem or know of a solution? I'm using a laptop with Windows 7, 64-bit. Microsoft says the program is compatible.Elements 8 only shows a bandaid for the healing brush, no indication on photo of the brush size.
Make sure that Edit > Preferences > Displays And Cursors > Painting Cursors is set to Normal Brush Tip. If that doesn't help, try deleting the Editor's preferences:
http://www.johnrellis.com/psedbtool/photoshop-elements-faq.htm#_Delete_the_Editor’s
I set text size to large, some tools show as 3
This is a known bug in PSE on Windows 7 -- you have to change the Windows display DPI (text size) to less than 150%. -
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.

CS Review
Installed TWAIN devices: NONEIn 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 with Healing Brush Align Function
I am running Photoshop CS5 on a Mac and I am having some trouble with the healing brush tool.
The behaviour seems to be the same whether I have 'Align' ticked or not.
I first select the area I want to sample from using alt-click. I then use the healing brush to paint over the area I want to repair. The cross-hair showing where the pixels are being sampled from moves as I move the brush around. I assumed this would only happen when 'aligned' is ticked but it happens all the time, meaning it paints unwanted pixels.
What I want to do is keep sampling from the orginal point, not for it to move as I move the brush.
Is this expected behaviour or am i doing something wrong?
Many ThanksIt really would be good to be able to see a sample of what you're getting to make sure we're on the same page. Do you have another browser you could use?
How hard is the brush you're using to paint with the Healing Brush? I find that a hard edged brush often works best.
The Healing Brush tool derives the color it uses for mixing from its surroundings, and it can often look further than just the adjoining pixels. If you use it very close to a place where the color changes a lot you'll see something like what you're describing. I just avoid using it near contrasty places and if I see this I just use other means - e.g., the clone tool.
Note the difference in results below, when the Healing Brush tool is used on these two spots with the same brush:
