Photoshop :: Can't Change Pinpoint Healing Tool
Dec 10, 2005
I frequently use the healing tool and can always resize the "circle". Now the healing tool looks like a plus sign with a dot in the middle and I can't change it's size with the slider...what button have I hit?

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?

I've got a bit of a problem. My compact camera has developed a tiny hair either on the chip or between the lens and the chip. It only shows when the a zoom is used but it's very annoying.
Is there any way of doing an automated batch to make the healing tool heal the same pixels on each image? The hair is in the same spot each time.

I think I asked a month or so ago if the healing brush tool was available in 6.0 and was told it was not ... that it became a part of 7.0. So, since I only have 6.0 to work with, can someone suggest which editing tools I might use in place of the healing brush tool? My granddaughter has an assignment to use the HBtool to repair an old photo as part of an assignment. I can clone or use other tools to make the repairs, but am wondering if anyone has specific suggestions for what tool will make repairs that will look most like they were done with the healing brush?

I want to clone something. The brush size is so tiny, you can't see it. I choose a large brush, up the diameter to 3000 and it doesn't change, stays a pinpoint.
This seems to happen sometimes, other times it doesn't.

My settings for the Healing Brush Tool are as follows:
Size = 19 pxHardness = 50%Spacing = 15%Mode = NormalSource = SampledI 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

I am retouching and area using the Healing Brush Tool. I first Alt-click on the area in the image that I want to use as the source.
I then paint over the area I am trying to change. The problem is that the source moves when I do that and I get the wrong replacements. How do I make the source static so it doesn't move when I paint?

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?

Both 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'm on Win 7, 64 bit, and CS6 (released). I've got the Spot Healing brush active and I Shift + Right-click to bring up the Blending options. I cannot change to Luminosity. It will change in the drop down box on the tool bar however.
When I first noticed, it was Lighten that it wouldn't change to. I've rebooted the PC a couple of times and now it seems to be the Luminosity mode.

Two questions, actually. Why does the healing brush crosshair change in location relative to the brush and then why does the crosshair change in color?
Also, in healing brush, with "aligned" unchecked, why does the brush image change as it moves? I though that with "aligned" off, the selection made with ATL - click stayed constant.

As pointed out in the thread subject line, both the clone stamp tool and healing brush are not working for me in Photo Elements 7.When I am attempting to use it, I get the message: "Could not use clone stamp tool because the area to clone has not been defined". Well, this is not the case since I did define it with command Alt + left mouse click.
Background:Photo Elements 7 is installed in Windows XP Professional SP3. The latter runs as a virtual O/S with Sun VirtualBox on host SuSE Linux 11.1 (Gnome).

Tried to remove some cables from an image using Russel Brown's video making use of the pen tool/path and the spot healing brush with content aware. I'm pretty sure I followed his tutorial exactly but it did not work satisfactorily. Are there any other tweaks I should be using to remove these cables and replace them with the background details?

I am trying to remove some wires in front of a complex background. (I tried a different spot for the photo, but didn't really work....so I was stuck with the wires.) Anyway, apart from just zooming way in and using the clone tool, do I have any options with smart cloning or healing? I searched the PSPX5 file for smart and heal etc., but didn't find anything.

I'm a total newbie to Gimp. I want to remove a couple spots on a jpg picture of mine. I've read and watched videos that say to open the picture, click on the healing tool, then press ctrl and click at the same time and pick a good area on the picture. Then after that, you can click on the spots to remove them. I try to do all this and it won't work. I get a plus sign and/or a circle with a line through it.
What does that mean? How on earth would I know how to fix this? I got it once yesterday but I don't know what I did. It seem to change when I changed the size of the brush but it was probably something else that changed it. It's probably something so simple.

When I have a none vector tool active for example the brush tool and I press and hold the Ctrl key down I see the cursor change from the current tool to the move tool cursor. If I presses and hold the Alt key I see the cursor change from the current tool to the eyedropper tool. If I press and hold both the Ctrl+Alt keys a see a cursor icon change to an icon that has two up pointing Arrow heads one Black the other White. What tool is that cursor for? It seems to copy and move the current layer and move its position over the canvas.

In Xara Designer Pro 7, when I have selector tool active and want to drag over a number of elements to select them the selector tool will change the size of the canvas (page). Is that not a bug? I used this way of selecting elements often, and it is not good for me with this new behaviour.
Is it a bug or is it a new setting which I then need to change?

I 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!

When 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?

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.
