PS6 Spot Healing Brush Tool

When I use the Spot Healing Brush, I only get dots when I hold and drag the brush, but my friend's PC is making a line

Its a brush tool spacing can cause dots check your healing brush tool spacing setting.

  • 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.

  • 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.)

  • 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.

  • 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'

  • 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.

  • 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?

    I have used the Spot/Healing Brush in Lgtrm3 and now have Lgtrm 5; however, my Spot/Healing Brush in 5 does not work.  I will click on the healing brush then adjust my brush size then click on the spot, then click "done".  Nothing happens.  Am I missing a step or is it the program?
    Gentle Teacher

    Rikk,
    Thanks for the help.  I didn't realize that there was an opacity slifer for theSpot Brush.  I see that if I increase the feathering there are times when it seems to leave a ghost.  Any ideas?  Also, When removing spots why would you use a feather edge as opposed to a hard one and how much feathering should a person use?  I realize that these questions may require more time than you have but any comment or suggestion would be appreciated.

  • Clone Stamp Tool & Spot Healing Brush Tool going wild

    Both of subject tools often 'go wild' on me when I am working on an image. Either tool will race across an image in a straight line and leave either a cloning or spotting mark [straight line].
    I suspect this has something to do with insufficient memory.  However I have 4 GB RAM and am not running any other big program while doing the cloning/spotting.
    Even if I 'give it some rest' this strange behavior will continue.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    ps.  Attached is a tiny sample, circled in red.

    It is essential to update Photoshop to version 11.0.1!
    If that doesn't help, see if it still happens with OpenGL turned off.
    Is that two video cards?  Neither number is shown on the Adobe list.

  • Spot Healing Brush

    It seems that I must have clicked on something because my Spot Healing Brush does not work like it did before!  When I click on it, I have to click on an area first and cannot change the size of the brush!  At the top it says
    BRUSH - MODE - SOURCE: SAMPLED AND PATTERN - ALIGNED AND SAMPLE ALL LAYERS.
    I want it back to what it originally was - what do I have to do?  I work on photos and use this to touch up cracked photos, etc.

    Sounds like you have the Healing Brush Tool selected instead of the Spot Healing Brush Tool.
    Both tools are grouped in the same slot in the toolbox
    Press and hold on the healing brush icon in the toolbox to reveal the flyout menu.
    You can also press Shift+J to cycle between the two tools.

  • 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.

  • Mulit-colored artifacts using Spot Healing Brush-CS3.

    This is the first time using this tool. Not sure what's causing this (see attached screengrab of tiff image captured at 200% view). These colored artifacts happen only after using the Spot Healing Brush tool in CS3 AFTER I save, close and reopen the tiff file. I have compression turned off saving scanned image as a tiff.
    Is this possible file corruption? I'm thinking it may be from using a soft brush but don't understand why it would only show up after a save, close and reopen. It doesn't show up right when I apply the edit.

    R_Kelly, I appreciate your attempt at explaining this. But I think you should know after I scanned the old B&W photographic print as a 16bit RGB tiff, I selected out the red channel, converted the image to grayscale and edited to final tonality. After that I converted to ProPhotoRGB (dithering off-16bit), duped the image and applied a sepia effect using Photo Filter on one copy, another sepia colorization in Variation on the other and combined the two blending at 50% opacity. (Note: to add this sepia effect I was forced to work in 8 bit, but these artifacts showed up even in other scans of old B&W photos in 16 bit color).
    There was no clipping of data in the mid-range where these artifacts showup (and no where else in the image using this tool as well-just this one spot on the face). There was a minimal amount of clipping in the red channel highlights from small specs scanning 100 year old paper.
    I did a google search on this and it doesn't seem to be prevalent which made me wonder what was going on. One RetouchPro.com thread shows up mentioning artifacts associated with Spot Healing Brush but no specifics on what type of artifacts. I posted over there and no one confirmed this was typical behavior of this tool as well.
    So I'm really only concerned in knowing if this is normal behavior from this tool and not corruption of the tiff file. I found a workaround to noticeably reduce these artifacts by working on a layer set to 50% opacity. It appears setting the SHB panel option to "Create Texture" makes it worse compared to "Proximity Match".
    This is a VERY handy tool for smoothing paper texture and film grain in scanned enlargements of old photos without making it look like smooth plastic.

  • 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,
    Wesley

    use 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.

  • 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.
    Chris
