Use Clone or Spot Healer to Erase Video Imperfection thorughout Clip ?

I imported into Photoshop a video clip of me speaking before a group and my hair is sticking up in the back. Is it possible to use the clone or spot healing tool or another tool to erase this hair sticking up the first time it happens and then have it carry through the entire video of me without having to use the tool in each clip? It is a continuous, four minute video of me speaking and each time I lean my head forward my hair sticking up is vidable and distracting. Thanks. This is the first time I have used photoshop.

I am not an After Effects user but based on a couple of things I have seen over time I assume it should be easier to achieve in that application than in Photoshop.

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 for video

Hi - I am working on some video where I need to remove sensor dust. I have tried the clone stamp stuff in AE CS5, but for this footage the healing brush in photoshop seemed a better proposition (the content aware variant). The method I tried was importing the video, adding a normal (non-video) layer and then use the healing brush. Issue is that the healing brush takes the content/fill from the first frame you started using it on; i.e. it doesn't continuously update based on the video underneath. Not so much an issue if the footage is somewhat static, but when there's a fair bit of movement then you can run into situations that you replace a dust speckle on a wall with a bit of sky!! (i.e. not ideal!).
Would there be any way around it? (i.e. getting the brush to continuously sample the video layer underneath).
Many thanks, 3dmus

Let me start by saying I have zero experience with video, but...
Since the Content Aware Fill function goes looking for appropriate matches elsewhere in the image (in the same frame, I imagine, for video), and I don't think you can definitively predict what it will do, is this the best approach for video?
I have this vision of a spot in successive frames of video being filled with slightly different info each frame, and thus looking rather weird when animated.
Maybe something like a Median / Fade Darken activity on a small selection encompassing the sensor spot would be more usable, as it would use the pixels in the immediate vicinity, and be more predictable?

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).

I have just upgraded to Yosemite and now Photoshop Elements freezes when using spot healing or clone stamp, is there an update due?

I have just updated to OSX10.10 Yosemite and now Elements freezes when using spot healing or clone stamp.

If you are using track pad, please use mouse and see if your issue is resolved.
Moreover, this issue has been resolved in PSE 13. You can give it atry as well.
Thanks!!

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.

I have lightroom 5 with 5.7 updated. I use windows. My problem is with the spot healer or remover. It worked perfectly when I click on it it don't have the additional circle with a line attached to it where I can move it to another place for better sa

I have lightroom 5 with 5.7 verson updated. I use windows. My problem is with the spot healer or remover in the develop. It worked perfectly for a while and then suddenly the other circle with a line attached to it where you can move it to a better spot stopped showing up. I uninstalled the software and re installed it again but it didn't fix the problem and its still the same. Help please.

Does the iPod work OK?

Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Compare with the iPod that does work/connect.
I suspect you have a 2G iPod. Those can only go to iOS 4.2.1

Adobe photoshop elements 9 . i cannot get the circle to appear on clone stamp tool and spot healing

adobe photoshop elements 9 , i cannot get the circle to appear using clone stamp tool and the spot healing brush . i`ve tried restating my computer and unloading and loading the adobe disc . but still no good .

I had this same problem and was searching for answers. I also prefer using a circle instead of crosshairs. I hope you've figured it out by now, but, if you haven't, here is the answer (I am using Elements 9, but, it should work for other versions I think):
1. Open up Elements Editor, Click on Edit, Click on Preferences, Click on Display & Cursors.
2. Under Painting Cursors, select Full Size Brush Tip
3. (optional) - if you want crosshairs within your circle, then also select Show Crosshair in Brush Tip.
4. Click ok.
Now use the brush, and it should have a circle to use.
P.S. Sometimes if you have your Caps Lock key on, that removes the circle as well.

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.

How do I Clone dust spots from video across footage? I can do on individual frames but don't know ho

How do I Clone dust spots from video across footage in CC? I can do on individual frames but don't know how to batch process .
How do I save it after? Render?

To fill in the void in the background, you can use the clone tool. However, for a large area that may not work well.
A good alternative is to use a "digital patch". With the rectangular marquee tool , select a pleasing substitute from somewhere else in the picture (not a fire hydrant!), then place this on its own layer (CTRL+J), and with the move tool position the patch and resize it if indicated
You should also explore the Recompose tool (ALT+CTRL+R) which may work well for your purpose.

How do I clean up a dirty drawing using spot heal tool?

I have a scan of a drawing, ink with washes. I need to clean up the smudged paper and old white out. I thouhg spot heal would do the trick. It doesn't do much, Don't know how to adjust the tool to really get it to work. Please help.

Hi there
Here's a quick video that covers how to use the Spot Healing Brush Tool:
If you're still having problems with the Spot Healing Brush Tool, you may want to try using the Healing Brush Tool. This tool allows for more refined spot clean-up, as I will demonstrate below.
The Healing Brush Tool is located below the Spot Healing Brush Tool. Just click and hold on the Spot Healing Brush Tool and select the Healing Brush Tool from the flyout menu.
The Healing Brush works by pulling information from a spot on your image that you choose. So, in your case, you'll want to define your source from a clean area of your paper. Photoshop will use this area to paint over other areas of your image.
So to start, Alt-click (hold down the Alt key on your keyboard as your click) on a clean area of the paper.
Now, simply click and drag over an area of your paper with smudges or imperfections. Photoshop will automatically blend the source area you defined in the previous step with where you are painting over.
As you go along, you'll see a small crosshair following your brush. This is showing you the area that Photoshop is copying from. You may need to redefine your source area as you go along. To do this, just Alt-click on a new area of your image.
You may find that the Healing Brush Tool is much more refined that then Spot Healing Brush Tool! Below is a video that shows you how to use the Spot Healing Brush Tool.
Cheers!

Photo moves while using spot healing brush

I've been using the spot healing brush basically on every photo but recently when I go to use it and press Option to get a clone source and then click my mouse the photo will move everywhere the mouse moves and not allow for a touch up.
It doesn't matter if I'm clicking the mouse the whole time or not, it just happens when i click once while using the healing brush.
I've tried reseting work space reseting my computer everything and I'm just desperate right now to figure out how to fix it.
because my latest photo shoot is of a young girl covered in acne and the spot healing brush is the best when it comes to making it blend.
i've asked everyone i know who uses photoshop and they have no idea. I can't be the only person this has happened to.

I guess you meant the healing brush? (the clone overlay is not supposed to be active with the
spot healing brush)
If your using cs4/cs5, check Clipped or Auto Hide in the clone source panel (Window>Clone Source) and see if that's better.

Clone, spot healing tool, content aware will not work on 11 or 12

The following tools will not work on PSE 11 or 12: clone, spot healing, content aware. Using 3 yr old iMac with latest OS. Same problem on Mac Book. I must be something wrong.

I'm not sure what was going on. I eneded up discarding the photo I was working on and open up another one and everything worked. I guess just a little hitch in it's gitty-up!
Thanks for your comments.

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

How to use spot healing more efficiently on PE9

i have been trying to take that man in blue out of the picture using spot healing. it is especially hard when his upper body is in the tree area and spot healing just trying to cover with trees that doesn't match the surrounding area (i want it to look like grass and tree trunk in the background). which method should i use to take the man out without cropping the picture?

If you use the spot healing brush with the content aware option checked,
you can get decent results. One of the keys is to isolate the object (man)
to a new layer and use the spot healing brush on that layer.
1. Duplicate your layer
2. Make a selection around the man, leaving plenty of area for spot healing brush
    to sample from.
3. Right click with the mouse inside the selection and choose layer via copy.
4. Choose the spot healing brush with content aware checked and sample all
    layers unchecked.
5. Use the spot healing brush on the man. For this picture it took four passes with spot
    healing brush.
6. Use the clone stamp tool and add some grass to lower right corner of the photo
   (Sample the layer the layer below)
7. Add a layer mask and using the brush tool set to white, touch up some of the bad areas.
If you want more of the tree and other areas around the leaves,
the clone stamp tool is the tool to use.
