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.

  • Photoshop Elements 9 shutting down when using the Spot Healing Brush

    Hello! I recently downloaded and
    installed the PSE 9 on my PC. Obviously I wanted to check out it's possibil
    ities and especially the Spot Healing Brush. The program seems to work fine until I want to use the Spot Healing Brush
    As soon as I try to apply something to a picture, I get the message something is wrong with "photoshopeditor.exe" and needs to shut down the program.
    That's really annoying and hopefully someone may have the answer and solution why it does this. I run the program on Windows XP (SP3).
    I really appreciate your help. Best regards, CharlesHHH.

    Hello MTSTUNER,
    Somehow my post showed up twice. Anyway...just updated to 9.01 and problem solved!!
    Thanks so much for your quick feedback. Much appreciated. Will now go into exploring its possibilities.

  • Photoshops elements 9 shuts down when using the Spot healing brush

    Hello all, I just downloaded and installed a trial version of Photoshop Elements 9. Of course I wanted to use that supposedly great "heal" tool. The program seems to work fine, but as soon as I use the Spot Healing Brush, I get the message that something occured and the program has to shut down. It's installed on a Windows XP, SP3 PC. Can anyone shed some light on why this is happening? I appreciate you help. Best regards,

  • Could not use the spot healing brush because of an internal error!

    Hi All. I have been trying out the Photoshop CC trial and all is well but all of a sudden I have been getting the "could not use the spot healing brush because of an internal error" message when I'm using the healing brush rapidly! I'm sending the tiff file from Capture One Pro 8 as a Tiff file so I'm not sure if this has anything to do with it.
    Many Thanks

    Hi it does not crash but I looked in the Photoshop Crashes folder anyway and it was empty! The message flags up and then press OK to remove it.

  • Problems using the Spot Healing Brush

    I've tried to use the spot healing brush on a number of photos but it doesn't work at all - I've watched the video tutorial, but wehen I try and use it nothing happens - it appears to be the only part of Lightroom 5 that doesn't work.
    How can I solve this problem?

    Keith,
    This is what happens when I try and use the Spot Healing Brush:
    I can select spots to heal/delete/duplicate - both single and multiple
    After selection and hitting "done" nothing happens.
    Consequently the spots I jhave tried to heral appear on the exported picture.
    I would expect the Spot Healing Brush in Lightroom 5 to acxt the same as in Adobe Photshop Elements 10 - ie. you see the spot disapear, but for some reason it is not.
    Hence the question, as I am wondering whether I'm doing something wrong-I've wateched the tutorial and it doesn't give me any clues as to whether I am doing anything wrong to erase/remove the spots.

  • Error message "cannot use the spot healing brush because the scratch disks are full.  What does this mean? PSE9

    Tried to use the spot healing brush and clone stamp and got error messages "cannot use because the scratch disks are full."  What does this mean? PSE9

    Elements uses drive space to make its calculations, like someone writing down measurements on a scrap of paper. How much free space is there on your hard drive?

  • 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.

    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.

  • Where is the spot healing brush?

    Hello Everyone,
    I've been a Lightroom user for a couple of years now but very new to photoshop.  Still figuring out all the cool stuff this program has to offer.  I want to use the spot healing brush to touch up a few images but I'm not able to locate it in Photoshop CS5.  I've looked in what I thought were the most logical places, looked thorugh the documentation and did some searching online but I haven't yet found the icon/function I'm looking for.   I do see the healing brush and I have been able to use the content-aware fill function successfully
    The format of the working image (raw, jpeg) seems to make no difference.  I read online that the spot healing brush only works with jpeg images.  Is this true?  I was able to use content aware fill on a raw image.
    Here's a screenshot showing all the tools and the various tool presets.  I'm running CS5 version 12.0.4 x64 on Windows 7.  Would appreciate it if someone can let me know what I'm missing here?
    Thanks,
    Dini

    The spot healing brush is located in the same tool slot as the healing brush, just
    click and hold on the healing brush icon in the tool box to see the hidden tools.
    As far as i know the spot healing brush works on most other images besides jpegs, so
    no it's not true that the spot healing brush only works on jpegs.

  • 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.

  • 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 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'
