Healing Brush Tool Problem

How can I stop being kicked out of my Photoshop Elements 3 pr
ogram whenever I use my healing brush tool?

They're the keys to the right of the "P" key, the ones with the square bracket symbols.

Spot healing brush tool problem

I am having a lot of problems with the spot healing brush tool. I am getting asked to use the alt key to pick a spot. It should not be doing that. It acts as if I were using the clone stamp tool, which I do not want to use now. Can anyone help me with this? My software is Photoshop CC and is up to date.

Click and hold on the healing brish on the Toolbar. You have the Healing brush selected, and you want the 'Spot healing brush'

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.

Using the healing brush tool

Anybody able to give me a simple explanation of how to use the healing brush tool to retouch photograph?

I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium... And I'm using Photoshop Elements 10 with a Wacom Intous 4 tablet and pen.    I noticed this behavior right after a forced reboot from a Microsoft update yesterday. I was editing a pic when it rebooted.
Now, the behavior only manifests itself within Photoshop Elements when I use tools that use reference points such as the clone tool or healing brush. It's a trailing dot that seems to echo the reference point; which eventually catches up to place itself right under the tip as I make a stroke.   I can't really see what I'm doing, so I end up making a big mess of things on my pics. This also occurs using my logitech mouse...   Check the mouse settings as well, and it not using any trail options.
Called Wacom and they had me uncheck "use microsoft ink" from within the Wacom properties. They identified the problem as the "ripple effect."     I've disabled the "press and hold" feature the "pen and touch" options in windows, disable the Tablet PC Input service, and made edits to "TurnOffPenFeedback" in, both, the local machine and local user in order to disable it. So far, nothing has worked.   If it makes a difference, I noticed that every time I edit the local user registry entry, it enables itself after each reboot.   Haven't fingered the cause of this yet.     Please let me know if you have any other ideas. Thanks!

Clone or Healing Brush Tool Creates Ghost Layer or Image - Unusable

I am using the latest version of Photoshop CS5.5 on a fully updated MacBook Pro.
I am having issues with the following tools:
Clone Stamp Tool,
Healing Brush Tool,
More details:
Essentially it "appears" that Photoshop is duplicating the layer and the layers appears to be dragged whenever the cursor is moved. I do not need to be holding down the mouse button for the layer to follow the cursor.
If I click outside of these tools then photoshop functions as normal, and this extra layer-effect disappears. Clicking back to those tools however causes it to reoccur.
From testing, when first selecting these tools (on program startup) nothing occurs. It's only when I select the target area (option+click) to use the tools does this problem begin.
I have checked, and no layer is duplicated. It is also a single image (so not a copy on top of the original).
I have been using Photoshop for a few years now and familiar with it's interface and functioning. Initially it was working fine on this laptop, however in the last few months this problem has begun and persisted. On other computers it is functioning fine. A complete uninstall and reinstall of Adobe on the laptop has made no change either.
Please can someone help? Thanks in advance for any assistance or guidance you can provide.

I am not saying that this will absolutely sort your problem but it is a good place to start.
Try resetting your Photoshop Preferences. Check out this post for instructions.

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.

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

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.

Healing Brush Tool

Hi everyone. I need help please.
My settings for the Healing Brush Tool are as follows:
Size = 19 px
Hardness = 50%
Spacing = 15%
Mode = Normal
Source = Sampled
I used "ALT-Left Click" to select my "Source".
Here's my problem: Once I have selected my Source, I go to the area of the picture I want to modify and Left-Click and start to drag to cover the area I want to modify. Once I reach my end point, I release my mouse button. In doing so, the area I just modified returns to its original look before I modified it.
I have tried everything I can think of and nothing seems to work.
Is there anyone out there who can help me?
Thank you so much in advance.
Sean O'Sullivan.

I just double checked both of your suggestions. Yes, the "Corrections" layer is selected and I am using the "Healing Brush Tool" also.
I even shut down CS6 and restarted the program.......same thing.

Spot Healing Brush Tool stops working in CS6 on Mac

Hello:
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. While working in the Spot Healing Brush Tool in CS6 on my iMac (Mountain Lion) , the tool stops working. I use it a few times on a busy BG, and then it goes away. The brush turns to a cross, and the tool no longer works. Reseting the tool, or All Tools, does not fix the problem.
Please let me know if there is a fix for this problem.
Thanks,
Richard

BTW:
This is also hapenning when I use the Patch tool. It "Eventually" comes back, but I loose it again after a fix or two. Can't figure this one out. Need help.

Spot healing brush tool luminosity not working as expected?

I have a question about the content aware spot healing brush tool:
The normal and replace mode work just fine as expected... the color mode does indeed a fine job fixing the color cast of i.e. small green or purple lens flares, by picking up the surrounding color.
The next mode after color, called luminosity, should work in the same fashion: it should pick up the surrounding brightness (luminosity), and adjust the relative brightness of the area to be patched (i.e. reduce the brightness of a small lens flare, and preserve the texture underneath).
Instead, luminosity doesn't work much different than the normal mode, it creates a new texture (based on content aware or surrounding area), and thereby destroying the original texture, instead of just fixing the local brightness.
My question for Adobe: is this behavior intentional? or was the luminosity mode "overlooked" by accident?

Here are some examples of how the brush is working in a real world example:
As I have mentioned, normal, replace, and color work exactly as expected. color in LAB mode works even better than in RBG mode.
what is not working as (at least by me expected) is luminosity mode (even if the color mode brush is used first). I thought/had hoped for that the luminosity mode would work some magic without creating new textures (the color mode is only very very lightly adding a new texture).
I just wanted to hear what the logic behind this mode is... (and possibly find a 1-2 click tool to fix those lens flares.)

Healing brush tool at lines of high contrast

I love the healing brush tool but hate how it doesn't work right in the proximity of high contrast areas. It leaves that little light or dark halo. Can anyone tell me why/how/solutions as to why it does this? I know bumping up the hardness works a little but then you might as well use the clone tool. Any thoughts?

I know bumping up the hardness works a little but then you might as well use the clone tool.
There's more to the Healing Brush than that. It blends the surrounding pixels and what you just painted together to create a seamless composition (most of the time anyway) while the Clone Stamp Tool will basically only copy/paste pixels. To get rid of the bleeding effect when using the Healing Brush you have to make a selection that would not include the areas of high contrast. You can also try using the Clone Stamp Tool set to either the Darken or Lighten blend modes to make it blend better with the rest of the composition.

Photoshop CS6 healing brush tool wont work

So neither the healing brush tool, nor the spot healing brush tool wont work properly. It looks good, until you let it go. Then all it does is smudge (photos attached)

That is not a spot its a huge area try working with the patch tool and use even a smaller area. I think even content aware fill would have a hard time there with the area.
