The edges of my spot healing brush went away

I was using my spot healing brush and all of a sudden the circle went away. I can't tell where the edges are or what size my circle is.

That must have been it.  I gave up and exited the software, did some other work and went back to it.  When I did, the edges were back.  I must have accidentally hit the CAPS LOCK key.  I didn't realize it though, so I wouldn't have figured it out.  Thank you so much for your response. Michele

  • Has anyone notice that the clone stamp spot healing brush in elements 13 is very jerky

    I purchased elements 13 for  MAC and was using it to edit today and the clone stamp and spot healing brush are not very responsive.  Like they are thinking and then respond.
    The controls did not respond immediately. The smoothness of elements 12 is gone!!

    Your probably seeing the clone source overlay.
    Go to Window>Clone Source and either uncheck:
    Show Overlay for no overlay or check clipped to show the overlay
    clipped to the size of the brush.
    There is also a photoshop  macintosh forum for future reference

  • Spot Healing Brush WOES

    I can't use the spot healing brush.  Whenever I try, a little notice appears at the bottom of my screen that says there are new capabilities available for the spot healing brush "click here".  I've clicked and all it was is a tutorial video.  I've watched the video numerous times, but the notice still will not go away.  How do I get the use of my spot healing brush back?

    Try selecting the tool and then do a reset (see image below).

  • Spot Healing Brush Content-Aware SLOW! on large files

    I updated from Photoshop CC to CC 2014. When working with ultra large format scans (more than 3 Gigapixel) the Spot Healing Brush set on Content-Aware takes unusually long (5-7 seconds for retouching small dust spots). In Photoshop CC the same Content-Aware Spot Healing Brush actions were executed instantly without any perceived delays once I've pointed a source for the Clone Stamp tool (which I found weird but doing so really made the Spot Healing Brush faster on large files). On smaller images it's still very fast on CC 2014 but not on the 3.5 GPixel images I'm working on at the moment.
    I know there have been some changes/improvements for the Content-Aware tools but in this case it's seriously hitting the performance. I haven't noticed any other slow-downs in processing performance with the update.
    I'm working on a dual-CPU (2 x 2.4 GHz 6-core) and 128 GB RAM Windows 8.1 machine. I've allowed Photoshop to use up to 120 GB RAM.
    Is there any way to reset the Content-Aware Spot Healing Brush to work as fast as it had before the CC 2014 update?

    My performance settings are the same for CC and CC 2014.
    I assume the problem is introduced by the changes/improvements of the Content-Aware tools and on normal file sizes it might not matter for the user if the operation takes 25 or 200 ms. But on large files it seriously slows down the retouching work.
    So far I've been doing as you suggested, using CC for that type of work. But as it takes about 90 minutes to save these huge files and AFAIK Photoshop CC and CC 2014 cannot be run as separate instances simultaneously it's quite inconvenient not being able to use CC 2014 for some other type of work while CC is saving the file.
    If the new Content-Aware functions take that much more processing it would be great to have a choice (similar to the choice of the RAW-engine used in ACR). However, if the new Content-Aware functions are just not yet optimized for fast performance then it's a bug.
    I will file a Feature Request/Bug Report and ask if there is anything that can be done about it in Photoshop CC 2014.
    Thanks for your help, Eugene.

  • How do I get Content-Aware back when using Spot Healing Brush?

  • 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.

    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,

  • Why can't I find the Spot Healing Brush?

    Can't find the "Spot Healing Brush" on my PS CS5.

    Tab toggles all the panels on and off.  You can use the f key to toggle through the screen modes, but if you are in a mode that hides the panels Escape brings them back again.
    I am sure we used to be able to tun the Toolbar on and off with the t key, but that no longer works with CC (and I don't how far back).
    So long as you can see the Options bar, you can use the Workspace dropdown and reset your workspace.  That will fix things no matter how confused things have become.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I using windows seven for Photoshop and when I use the spot healing brush or the brush tool I get a cross hair and not the circle ?

    How do I fix this issue? some time it works and the other times I get the cross hair

    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.

  • 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.
