Is it possible to copy clone stamp tool and healing brush effects from one image to another?
I.e. I edit an image in Lightroom, then work on it in Photoshop CS often using clone and healing brush tool. However, if I then change the original in Lightroom, as I often seem to do, I have to re-do all my work in Photoshop. Is there a way I can copy my Photoshop work from the old to the new image?
Why is it that when i choose the clone or healing brush tools that the brush stays in a star like configuration. No matter how much i resize the picture of play with brush sizes it won't chane to the circle. then it suddenly pops into place. What should i be doing or not doing. it doesn't happen all the time but it is very frustrating when it does.

Sometimes I can get it to work, and sometimes I can't.
Sometimes it works only partially. The thing I want to cover over gets partially obscured behind a translucent clone spot.
On a recent attempt, I had the Healing Brush working, but after I made a selection mask to limit the area to be healed, the Healing Brush no longer worked.
I have Opacity and Flow on 100%. I tried a variety of different Modes. Aligned samples is checked, as Layer is set to Current. Layer is not locked. I am working on the top layer of three layers. I set layer to all three posible options, including Current, and Current and Below. I left Aligned Samples unchecked, and then I checked it.
I Reset the Tool in the configuration drop down menu next to the tool icon in the tool options bar. I Reset All Tools.
I just got my nice new Wacom Connect and have been having fun getting used to it.The issues I'm having is that I can't seem to use the clone stamp tool or the healing brush all that well with it.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen using the Healing Brush tool in Normal mode, the opacity of the cloned pixels when painted onto the same layer as the source pixels will usually be decreased to blend better, BUT if the cloned pixels are painted onto a separate layer (to work non-destructively) the tool will NOT decrease opacity and the Healing Brush will work more like (if not exactly like) the Clone Stamp - true??
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am having a big problem when using the new CS6 on my Mac (os x 10.7.4). When switching to a new tool, like a brush, or clone stamp, or healing brush etc, Photoshop hangs for about 20 seconds before resuming. It's not 3rd party plug-ins, because I get the same behaviour when I run using the shift key and third party plug-ins are disabled. It doesn't happen every time, but it happens frequently.
View 301 Replies View RelatedBoth 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! christian ps. Attached is a tiny sample, circled in red.

i am wondering to add the Spot healing brush tool to lightroom so that i can clone some parts of the photo without moving to Photoshop.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am getting photos ready to be used in a Premeire Pro video. I was given these photo by someone who scanned them. There is a fine green line running through some of them. I have tried removing it with the clone and the healing tools but they don't work on it (they DO work on the rest of the photo). I cannot figure out how to get rid of this line. There are no layers to flatten. Any help would be appreciated. I have never seen this before.

View 1 Replies View RelatedWhen I use the healing brush is tends to "skip". It leaves a line of circles like a stamp would instead of a flowing line like it should leave. No matter how slow I move the brush it leaves a circle and then as I continue to draw nothing happens until I reach the edge of the first circle, it then drops another circle and it continues that way as long as I draw with it. The brush tool works fine, leaves a smooth line. The Spot Healing and Patch Tool work fine but the healing brush will not heal in a smooth stroke. It skips along a leaves a tail of circles the size of the brush. I am using a fast computer, i7 processor, 16bg ram and a SSD drive so I do not think speed is an issue. I upgraded from CS4 where the healing brush worked fine on this computer

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am trying to follow instructions on how to use the healing brush but there are a couple of things I'm having trouble with. I alt/click on an area that I've selected as the source and then I begin to paint the area to be healed. But, a little crosshair appears in a random area and it becomes the source spot. The spot that I originally selected is no longer the source. The crosshair 'shadows' my paint brush and if the crosshair crosses an area that has no relationship to the source I originally selected, it adds an irrelevant (and annoying!) thing to my heal area. My reading indicates that perhaps it was because I had the 'Aligned' button checked. (Is that right?) When I turn it off, the little cross stays and I have the same problem. (And one really annoying feature - if I unclick and then start healing another area, the crosshair shows up in a completly different area!) Does anyone know why the source spot I pick is superceded by the little crosshair? Also, when I paint the area to be healed, the healed area is a blend of the destination and the source area. Any idea why that is? Thanks!
View 4 Replies View RelatedWhen editing with the heal tool in Photoshop CS1, I found that I could use a selection to limit what was sampled and modified by the heal tool, but not in CS2.
For example: In CS1, If i needed to 'heal' an area of a photo that contrasted with an adjacent area (that would influence the heal tool), I would make a selection of the area I wanted to heal, which would render all areas outside the selection unusable by the heal tool, so that only the area inside my selection could be sampled / modified by the heal tool. Here is this 'trick', explained in Photoshop Help:
"If there is a strong contrast at the edges of the area you want to heal, make a selection before you use the Healing Brush tool. The selection should be bigger than the area you want to heal but should precisely follow the boundary of contrasting pixels. When you paint with the Healing Brush tool, the selection prevents colors from bleeding in from the outside."
Working with CS2, I find that this little trick does not apply. Whether or not I'm working within or outside of a selection, or not working with one altogether, makes no difference to which pixels the CS2 heal tool uses - it uses all available pixels, and is not confined by a selection as it was in CS1. With CS2, I find it impossible to use the heal tool in areas of high contrast, where I could've (with the use of a selection) in CS1. Am I unique in this? Is this a glitch with my version of CS2, or a glitch with CS2 altogether?
How id it corrected, so that a selection can be made to limit the pixels available to the heal tool?
I brought digital magazine to learn more. All was going really well until I got to the restoration lesson. In this lesson it shows how to use the healing brush to fix damage. In the lesson it tells me to open a new layer then select the healing brush, in the options for the brush I should select align and use all layers. The only problem is there is no "use all layers" box to tick. Apparently it's easer to see what I have done and to correct any mistakes this way.
I have noticed that the lesson is for Photoshop cs. does this make that much difference?
How to get the most out of the Spot Healing Brush? I'm using it in Photoshop CC to repair old photos. It tends to work about half the time the way I would want it to. Frequently, I have to back out "fixes" and either try again from a different direction or switch to the clone stamp tool.
So, how does one get the most out of the Spot Healing Brush?
Have CS4 on Windows XP. Wacom tablet and pen. Nvidia GEForce 7600GS video card.
Have updated Tablet drivers and Video card driver as of this am. (Fri Jan 16 09). Adobe updates seem to be having a bit of trouble coming through though. Virus program is AVG.
Healing brush only, when we alt click to set the selection point and then move to the area we want changed and drag the curser, the selection point glides along smoothly while the target hops along giving a series of altered spots with non-altered spots in between.
Clone brush and so on are fine.
Any ideas, past experiences? Or have I ventured into new territory?
I like CS4 and have very few problems with it. But one curious behaviour is that from time to time clicking to create a healing area using the Healing Brush creates a diagonal streak from upper left to lower right as if someone had held down the healing brush (at the beginning of the streak) and pulled the brush diagonally to create the diagonal streak. This happens when the healing area clicked is nowhere near the start of the diagonal streak. Undoing and re-healing a few times usually gets it done ok but it is odd.

My healing brush is pressure sensitive for size, but I don't want it to be. I've turned all the options off in the brush palette but it makes no difference. I cannot see any option on the option bar for this either. PS8
I tried defining a new brush but the sample doesn't recognize color and texture. Is there a way of sampling a small piece of a drawing and making a brush out of it? With the multi colors of the sample?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI am working with PSCS6 CC. When using the healing brush in content aware or proximity mode the tool generates artifacts.
What is causing this behavior and how can it be prevented?
Here's a before and after shot. I recently upgraded from CS3 and the spot healing brush always worked great. Now when I use it, whether or not I use content aware fill, it leaves a blurred residue of what I was trying to remove. As an aside, the Content Aware Fill leaves a similar residue, enough to make it effectively unusable.
I have included a sample photo of the spot healing brush problem. Left side is before and right side is after. I just wanted to get rid of the electrical wall socket. You can see that it's not working. I am running windows 8 in a 64-bit environtment and running the 64-bit version of Photoshop CS5.5

Since I am working in Photoshop 6, I do not see a "healing brush" tool on my toolbox. The course I am trying to help my granddaughter with is designed for Photoshop7. Is there any tool in "6" that will have the same function as the healing brush - or is it hiding out somewhere in 6?
