Where is the Healing Brush tool?

Has the Healing Brush tool been discontinued in CC2014?

Just so you can see it :
The icon updates to the tool selected so its always worth looking at the fly outs if you think something is missing.

  • Using the healing brush tool

    Anybody able to give me a simple explanation of how to use the healing brush tool to retouch  photograph?

    I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium...  And I'm using Photoshop Elements 10 with a Wacom Intous 4 tablet and pen.    I noticed this behavior right after a forced reboot from a Microsoft update yesterday.  I was editing a pic when it rebooted.  
    Now, the behavior only manifests itself within Photoshop Elements when I use tools that use reference points such as the clone tool or healing brush.  It's a trailing dot that seems to echo the reference point; which eventually catches up to place itself right under the tip as I make a stroke.   I can't really see what I'm doing, so I end up making a big mess of things on my pics.  This also occurs using my logitech mouse...   Check the mouse settings as well, and it not using any trail options.
    Called Wacom and they had me uncheck "use microsoft ink" from within the Wacom properties.  They identified the problem as the "ripple effect."     I've disabled the "press and hold" feature the "pen and touch" options in windows,  disable the Tablet PC Input service, and made edits to "TurnOffPenFeedback"  in, both, the local machine and local user in order to disable it.  So far, nothing has worked.   If it makes a difference, I noticed that every time I edit the local user registry entry, it enables itself after each reboot.   Haven't fingered the cause of this yet.     Please let me know if you have any other ideas.  Thanks!

  • How come every time I use the healing brush tool or patch tool it smudges?

    I just want a solid change to the pixels that I've selected but instead it just creates smudging because it's trying to blend the pixels for me when in reality I don't want that. The only way I remember how to change this is through hardness but my hardness is at 100%. I'm working on an advertisement for the National Museum of Crime and Punishment in DC and I'm there nw trying to get this done.
    Please help,

    yes, lots of option and learing curve steep.
    When you have spot healing brush active look at the toolbar that shows size of brush, mode, etc.  Mode should be in Normal unless you want special effects.
    Also, since this is an auto program, if you have the brush size too large it will sample a larger area, which can introduce artifacts you don't want.

  • Retouch with the Healing Brush tool

    This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/photoshop/cs/using/WSfd1234e1c4b69f30ea53e41001031ab64-7607a.h tml

    sheez. I had NO idea this was to be posted to Forum! Wow. I thought it was feedback to adobe ;-)
    anyway, WOW. THANKS! I wish i had done this eons ago. SO many hours trying to figure it out!
    i'm not the sharpest pencil in the pack, it seems... ;-)
    and thank you for that last bit, as well. For i find that i was searching for the correct way, not realizing the proper framework is to look at the result, not which tool produces it. Nice! That helps to organize the operation ;-)
    again, nice! Thanks!

  • Sample point of Healing Brush tool in CS5

    Hi.
    In my previous version of PS (CS2) when using the Healing Brush tool the sample point remained in the same place after alt-clicking - irrelevant of where I moved around the image - this is great for spotting large areas of similiar colours as you know the sample area is clean.
    With CS5, the sample spot seems to move with the mouse - as in, it always stays the same distance from the mouse as you move around.
    Is there a setting I can change that will make it work similar to CS2?
    Thanks

    Uncheck aligned and see if that helps.

  • Healing Brush tool CS5

    Hey everybody, I just recently got PS CS5 Extended and tried playing around with it a little bit. To be honest I don't like the way the Healing Brush tool works in this version and was wondering if there is some way to make it work as it did in PS CS3 Extended which I used before. I just feel that in CS3 it did a better job of blending whereas in CS5 it seems as if it is doing more "smudging" so to speak than actual blending.
    Any and all help is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

    I am not aware that the behaviour of that tool has been changed between CS3 and CS5; are you sure you use the same settings?

  • Healing brush tool just smudges what i'm covering up?

    Your solution - Use the Clone tool (S key) - use the "show overlay" and "clipped" option in the Clone Source panel. This will allow you to position precisely where you want to clone over.
    Healing and patching will not work that well, on denim, or any repeated patterns. This is because the math it uses tends to mess up on rigid pattern based  textures. I once saw a demo for a future version (probably CS5 because it looked very 'complete' in the demo), which implies that there is a new feature on its way, that will be able to dynamically calculate underlying texture and image content - healing seemless transitions.

  • Healing brush tool at lines of high contrast

    I love the healing brush tool but hate how it doesn't work right in the proximity of high contrast areas. It leaves that little light or dark halo. Can anyone tell me why/how/solutions as to why it does this? I know bumping up the hardness works a little but then you might as well use the clone tool. Any thoughts?

    I know bumping up the hardness works a little but then you might as well use the clone tool.
    There's more to the Healing Brush than that. It blends the surrounding pixels and what you just painted together to create a seamless composition (most of the time anyway) while the Clone Stamp Tool will basically only copy/paste pixels. To get rid of the bleeding effect when using the Healing Brush you have to make a selection that would not include the areas of high contrast. You can also try using the Clone Stamp Tool set to either the Darken or Lighten blend modes to make it blend better with the rest of the composition.

  • 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.

  • Healing Brush Tool causes PSE to close down

    After I click the Healing Brush Tool and then click the spot on my picture the entire program closes down.  It does not give me an explanation.  None of the other tools do this.  Help please!    THANK YOU!

  • Healing Brush Tool

    Hi everyone. I need help please.
    My settings for the Healing Brush Tool are as follows:
    Size = 19 px
    Hardness = 50%
    Spacing = 15%
    Mode = Normal
    Source = Sampled
    I used "ALT-Left Click" to select my "Source".
    Here's my problem: Once I have selected my Source, I go to the area of the picture I want to modify and Left-Click and start to drag to cover the area I want to modify. Once I reach my end point, I release my mouse button. In doing so, the area I just modified returns to its original look before I modified it.
    I have tried everything I can think of and nothing seems to work.
    Is there anyone out there who can help me?
    Thank you so much in advance.
    Sean O'Sullivan.

    I just double checked both of your suggestions. Yes, the "Corrections" layer is selected and I am using the "Healing Brush Tool" also.
    I even shut down CS6 and restarted the program.......same thing.

  • Healing brush tool behaving strangely in Elements 8

    Hi - I'd just got used to using this tool. Brilliant thing but also found its limitations then suddenly every time I use it, it leaves a black smudge behind. Can't account for it. When your finger is on the mouse button it appears to be working but when you let go a large black smudge appears - I can't work out what I'm doing wrong. Anyone know?

    Did the healing brush tool ever work without leaving a smudge?
    You can try to reset the healing brush tool and see if that
    helps. With the healing brush tool selected, in the tool options
    bar on the far left, click and select reset tool.

  • Proper Use of the Healing Brush & Patch Tool

    When using the Patch tool and Healing Brush tool to smooth skin, I cannot seem to avoid "grabbing" dark coloring from the clothing as I get close to the edge of the skin.  I have the sample source anchored in the middle of an area far away from the clothing edge, but if I get close to the clothing it pulls from that color and "bleeds" into my healing area.
    I've tried to view tutorials on the Healing Brush, but haven't found anything that addresses this specific condition, just standard "how to" stuff.
    Thank you for any advise and direction here.

    I'll give you a little trick as you can see the preview of the are you are patching it is possible to do a patch clone sort to speak.
    it works like this.
    http://mysite.verizon.net/wzphoto/patch.mov
    if the angle of the clothes do not match you can copy a section and paste and then rotate the section to match and use it as the source for
    the patch tool.
    BTW the idea is that you have to include the contrasting areas so the do not cause a blending. even if the darker area needs no repair.
