Problem with Enhanced Healing Brush

LR5.0, Windows7 (64 bit)
I am having a problem with the Advanced Healing Brush, where the colors in the destination area don't match the colors in the source area, even with opacity at 100. Is this a known bug, or is this something I am doing wrong?
Here's the original picture. I want to remove the date, and the spotlight underneath the date, on the bottom right.
Using the enhanced healing brush, I try to remove this and replace it with a similar area of grass
You can see the opacity is 100, and yet the color of the grass in the destination area is noticeably darker than the color of the grass in the source area.
So, what is wrong here? Bug, or user error?
By the way, I also performed a similar operation in Photoshop Elements, with much nicer results.

Hi DJ,
I find the healing brush a bit so-so. I've had the same result as yourself - it will blend in poorly leading to muddy tones.
Also the boundaries of the brushed area are too distinct. Overall, I see the clone setting as more useful.
I've had a cut at your picture, using multiple selections. I could do better,(the shadow lines are not well aligned) but I think this illustrates my point.
I find that one large selection (even though that's the example used in the LR video) rarely works well for me.
I think this tool can use some improvement.
Hope this helps,
hans

  • Problem with Advanced Healing Brush on LR 5

    I am experiencing a problem with the Advanced Healing Brush  on LR 5. Using, say, the Heal option, when I have marked the area I want to heal, and then move to the source I want to copy, I cannot get the colour of my selected source point to remove the heal spot.
    I have looked at a number of tutorials and working comments on using this function, and I am pretty sure that I am following the correct procedure for using the Advanced Healing Brush. I have the same problem when I try to use the Cloning option - the colour just does not fill the area I want to fix.
    Is there possibly a bug hanging around?  Can anyone give me any possible solutions to my problem?  I so want to try out this terrific new feature in LR 5.

    Thanks for your response
    I attach 2 screenshots
    Screenshot1  - See the orange tip of a feather behind the kid's head - I want to remove this with the heal option in the Spot Removal tool
    Screenshot2 - I have demarcated a piece of the feather with the spot tool and have chosen the source color of the wooden bench
    I was expecting the demarcated area to have adopted the chosen source color, but it hasn't, by a long shot. I've tried evry which way to get it to work, but no luck.
    I even tried using the Clone option, choosing the same source color and painting over the orange feather, but that also didn't work.
    I look forward to your comments

    IS ANY ONE HAVING PROBLEM WITH LIGHTROOM CC BRUSH WHEN THE GPU IS TURN ON

    If updated drivers don't fix the problem, perhaps you can tell us what is the "PROBLEM WITH LIGHTROOM CC BRUSH WHEN THE GPU IS TURN ON" that you are having. 

  • Continual problem with the Adjustment brush in both Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 4

    The Adjustment brush in both Lightroom 3 and Lightroom 4 continually stops functioning correctly - that is any adjustment made using the sliders in the Adjustment Brush panel does not make an adjustment on the image.      Normally I would go to Library / Preferences [on my iMac OSX 10.6.8], remove the com.adobe.Lightroom3.plist file and restart Lightroom.     However I have gone to Library/Preferences and there is no listing of any Lightroom 3 plist files, nor for that matter any adobe Photoshop CS5 plist files or any adobe Lightroom 4 plist files.      I have tried restarting the iMac but to no avail - no help at all!      I have no idea how to remedy the situation as I have no idea where the plist files have gone!!!
    Incidentally I have a new iMac 27" OSX 10.8 - same problem with the Adjustment Brush there, but so far the plist files haven't disappeared into the ether somewhere!
    Help would be appreciated  ...
    Many thanks

    Hi Jussi
    I tried changing to the B brush set, and the Adjustment Brush worked OK in there for a while - but now I have the same problem with the B brush set too.     It appears to happen instantly - one minute they're working, the next minute they're not!!         For example, I was adjusting Brightening using the Adjustment Brush and I literally made an adjustment on one image, then went back into the same image seconds later to make a further Brightening adjustment and the brush wasn't working - well, that is, not unless I pushed the slider to something like 160 and then I got minimal adjustment!!!       I am becoming increasingly frustrated  ..   I have literally worked for months with no problems, now it's almost every day!!

  • Hi! I have a problem with the adjustment brush some are not there anymore like soften skin, how i can fix that?

    Hi! I have a problem with the adjustment brush some are not there anymore like soften skin, how i can fix that?

    Hi dear,
    it's funny, real funny.
    I think the programmes have diffrent sound system from the normal calls system.
    All you need to do is to turn the sound up from the bottom in the phone side in the time you're making or recieving the call.
    you'll hear the sound.
    I hope that would help.
    All the best

  • PSE8 - Need help with bizarre selection problem with spot healing and clone tools

    In using clone stamp and spot healing brush--. When I Alt click for my sample I get entire image---acting as if I'm moving a layer---whether I'm working on a single or multi-layer image.  This is PSE8 3 gig ram windows ----Lenovo Core II duo  P8400  @ 2.26 GHZ  with ATI 256 meg graphics
    This sure is fun!!!
    I'm trying to get rid of an old numbering imprint on a film(not digital) image.

    Actually the overlay option is helpful. It shows the region that you are copying - and i dont think thats causing the issue.
    The issue is because you dont have the clip option checked along with Overlay.
    Just make sure you have both Overlay and Clipped options checked and you would not see this problem anymore.

  • PE9 trouble with clone/healing brush on a new install.

    Hi,
    I have PE9 installed on my desktop and the program works perfectly and it also was fine on my previous laptop. Due to an accident I had to get a new laptop and that is where the issues have started.
    The Clone and Healing Brush cannot be resized using the [ ] keys. I can work around using the size button on top of the image viewing area but it is much slower doing that.
    Using the Quick Selection Tool I am not able to remove it when finished by pressing the Esc key. I have not found a work around for that. Ctrl-Z will eventually remove it but it also removes any changes made first!!
    There could be other tools that have issues but I haven't found them to this point. Other tools are working normally. I was wondering if it was some sort of keyboard switch not working but I was unable to find anything in the laptop manual. All keys do work properly. It is a Dell Inspiron as was the previous unit.
    I have unistalled the original install of PE9 and reinstalled it. Same problems. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Cyril

    Hi Barbara,
    Thanks for taking the time to help me. I tried your suggestion but no luck. However I found something by "stumbling" around. I changed the keyboard setting to US from Canadian Multilingual Standard (which was the way it came to me) and that fixed the issue with the keyboard shortcut of brackets [ ]  to resize the: Healing Brush, the Clone Tool, the Dodge and Burn tools. They work fine as long as US is selected for the keyboard language.
    As for the use if the Esc key, after working with Adobe we found that the Esc key on my BRAND NEW laptop was not working!! I guess that explains why the Esc key shortcut wouldn't work in PE9. Oh my, you gotta love our new technology!!!!!! That then led me to a couple of hours on the phone with Dell about replacing the system. The joy just continues to flow. :-))))))))))))
    Anyway, Adobe had not heard of the "Canadian Multilingual.. keyboard selection" being a problem for PE9 and those keyboard shortcuts, so if anyone else has this issue, try that! It worked for me. I am definitely tired of the phone after today. Hoping for a smoother day tomorrow. All the best.

    Hi,
    I_STEP plays improtant role in filling up customer exit variable. Check it in your code. If not there, test it as follows.
    First add IF I_STEP = 1 & your logic to fil your variable. And make you varibae as "Ready for Input". If you runn the report, you can see the values in selection screen.
    Note: That the project which is having this enhancement RSR00001 should be in active version through CMOD. Sometimes usotmer exit won't work if project is in inactive versions.
    Hope it helps tp solve your issue.

  • Problems with the healing tool

    I am trying to create a Layer Mask in Black & White, and coloring a specific area?  I had it work once, but won't work now.  When I rub over the area with the healing tool, color shows, and then reverts back to black and white.  Same thing happens when I use the "blur" effect, my main object reverts back to being blurry.  What could I be doing wrong?

    You should probably use the paint brush tool instead of the healing brush
    or any filters to paint on a layer mask.
    The example below painted with a brush set to black.

  • Help with spot healing brush in LR

    I cannot get the spot healing brush to work in the newest version of LR. I used to use it successfully since LR 2. I have to go into PS now to clean up dust spots.  Can someone please tell me what I need to do to get my spots cleaned in LR?
    Thanks!

    Hi Keith
    I click on the spot healing brush tool, click on either heal or clone, then go to the spot, circle it, and click. The spot will not go away.
    I've tried holding down the alt/option key and clicking on the spots, but still nothing.  I can drag on the spots, click, nothing....
    If I go into Photoshop I can use the spot healing brush there, but not sure why I can't get it to work in LR anymore. It used to always work for me.
    Thank you for any input.

  • Has anyone experienced a problem with the adjustment brush since last update (for Mac) last week?

    Following an update to Lightroom on my Mac Pro work station last Friday: when I apply my adjustment brush to an area in an image, a faint box encompassing a much larger area than the size of my brush appears (extends well beyond the area I've identified with my brush and is clearly a large square shape). When I release my mouse, the adjustment I've made affects my entire image. I had no issues with adjustment brush prior to the update. I've been on the phone with Adobe support (no help). Have uninstalled/reinstalled Lightroom several times (no help). Adobe directed me to Apple (recommend use of Time Machine to date before Lightroom update came through). To ensure it's an isolated bug, I checked my MacBook Pro. Worked fine without update; I let update come through and find the adjustment brush "bug" is intermittent. When it occurs, however, I always see the larger "box" area, and the adjustment brush ultimately affects my entire image.
    Anyone else experiencing this? Adobe support insists it's a Mac issue. Thanks!

    Same problem (rectangular areas) + others under Windows. The adjustment brush and the clone / heal tool have been totally broken in LR 3.2. You're not alone. See this thread. I have filed a bug report. No answer until now.

  • Having a problem with using the brushes

    I am going to post my problem in steps so that it is better understood.
    1.  I go to the brush menu at the top left corner
    2.  I go to the down arrow to select a brush
    3. I see the brush choices
    4.  I want to scroll up or down to find the brush I want
    5. the choices disappear and it will not let me view the brushes, only the one that is already visible is the one I can use.
    Help me please!  I can not find the answer to this anywhere.  I have tried resetting the tools with no success. 
    Thanks to anyone with an answer~

    Which version of photoshop elements and operating system?
    If your on windows, try the following:

  • Sporadic Problems with Graduated and Brush in 2.3RC

    1. Sporadic program hangs with Graduated Filter still occurs with roughly
    the same frequency as ver 2.x.
    2. Painting with Adjustment brush in 1:1 preview will some times result in
    the preview disappearing. All images disappear in 1:1 view. Change to
    Library and back does not restore the preview. Zoom to 3:1 does not restore
    preview. Exit Lightroom and relaunch restores preview.
    I did not see behavior 2 in Ver 2.2.

    Similar problem on a Mac.
    Sporadic freezes of LR after using the adjustment brush, switching to another photo and applying the graduated filter. (=> CPU at ± 99%, RAM 2,56GB used/blocked)
    A forced restart of LR solves the problem for a while.

    this is error is coming in the SXMB_MONI
    THE DATA type(Receivers) we create in basis component is comes automatically?
    are we have to create?
    in my scenario i creted manually,
    is it compulsory to specify the properties for the party and agency?
    is it compulsory to create 2 Receiver structures in msg structure?
    if yes what r those, actually i used from sap.help.com,
    Can any body should give me the solution for this, regarding mapping and configuration , if anybody experienced this scenario. Pls . give me  the guidelines to do.

    Hi,
    the mapping creating the receiver list is not producing the required element "Receivers" from Namespace "'http://sap.com/xi/XI/System". Look to the operation mapping given in the enhance Receiver Determination (IB Directory)  and detect the corresponding mapping program (ESR).  Copy the source payload from MONI, test the mapping program and correct it.

  • Problem with Enhanced Receiver Deterrmination

    Hi,
    I am facing an issue with the Enhanced Receiver Deterrmination (ERD) at runtime for an EOIO scenario. When a message gets split for the defferent service it fails complaining about mapping. If I retrigger it gets delivered.
    However if I provide a queue filter this failure does not occur even if logically that queue filter definition does not make any sense to the scenario. for eg: The filter is maintained for a different scenario say A, but scenario B which has ERD will work. I am well confused, shoot your questions pls. Please help in case you have faced similar issue. We are on 07s SP17.
    regards
    Unni

    Hi Venkat,
    You are correct, I use extended Receiver determination. As I have mentioned earlier, the scenario works well if I specify the queue filter, so all related objects exists.
    Basically the split message with out a queue filter is poinitng back to the source message. But if I re-trigger from moni it goes well. With a queue filter, it works without a cause.
    See the sample message for error
