I've been trying to remove wrinkles using the spot healing brush in CS2.
I have changed the wrinkles into what looks like scars or burns
I have also tried to remove horizontal neck lines and get the same "scarring" effect.
i was hoping and waiting for better healing/spot removal brush in LR4... and now i am disappointed . should i wait for LR5?

View 3 Replies View RelatedHow 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?
My Spot Healing Brush Tool wont drag at all, yes I have tried resetting the Tool. I am wondering if its because my Graphics card is integrated(Laptop)?

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

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?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a sample pic(which is not mine, but can use)
I want to take all the white particles out of the pic to clean it up, in the past I have been useing clone stamp and patch tool to keep the texture relatively the same.I have tried painting after choosing with the color picker and then palying with opacity, this gets rid of some of the smaller white spots and then I go with the clone tool and patch tool. I find this does not give a very natural look, so I was wondering if there was another way to go about taking these spots out as it is a painstaking proccess which can take anywhere up to 8 hours on a pic with my 1Ds MKIII.
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.
I'm using CS6 and while using my new wacom small tablet, I noticed that no matter what I do, I can't disable the pressure sensitivity for the "Spot Healing Brush". All my other tools i can. I'm not confortable using the pressure sensitivity to make the brush larger so i just prefer to turn off the sensitivity entirely.
View 5 Replies View Relatedwhy the healing brush is so useless on stroking a path. It always (apparently no matter what setting you use) creates a soft blurred splodge as opposed to - well - what its supposed to do.
I've just spent 2 days creating what is (IMHO) a totally awsome action that highlights moles and skin blemeshis (and does so by finding details, not by colour or brightness so should work on most skin tones), creates a path based on them, and then totally fails to patch them because the implementation of healing brush stroking on paths is so rubbish. THe path created is quite complex of couse, and extends over most of the image, its not like stroking a single path where spot healing appears to work.
THe nearest thing I've got is to create a pattern based on a clean patch of skin and the to use the healing brush set to a pattern. This works OK for this person, but will be rubbish on someone else. I've also tried using the patch tool, which is also no good. Content aware fill also produces the soft blurry splodge.
the 2 screen grab on the right are created by manually using spot healing brush the combination of path creation and stoking with the healing brush could offer up SO much functionality I think adobe should investigate. I've got at least 3 actions now that are waiting to go out the door that will save retouchers hours and hours of boring spotting work. It uses frequency separation, too.

My spot healing brush doesn't drage. The healing brush and all other brushes work normally. Before yesterday it was woking normally. The brush will make a round patch the size of the brush, but I can't paint with the brush.
My spot healing brush stopped working. After releasing the mouse, it blinks and remains black. If I do another spot, the first spot is fixed and the second one is black. And so on. This began after updating to 12.0.4 x64 (Mac 10.7.3)*

View 2 Replies View Relatedi use imac i7,8GB,lion. I cannot remember how i learned to do a type of dust/spot remove for large areas. The heeling brush or stamp tool were not used in this technique.
It seems that the rectangular marque tool was used to select an area in the problem layer, a large background area, for example. The selection was then jumped to a new layer. Somehow one could use the arrow keys to move the selection a few pixels. At this point i cannot remember what to do.
I think that the move tool was employed and the arrow keys used to move the selection a few pixels such that the spots were covered by nearby, unspotted areas. Havent done this in years and can't make it work. I have thousands of old black & white photos, and some color, to repair and retouch.
I just upgraded to CS6 64 bit under Windows 7. I used content aware fill and the spot healing tool on CS5 under XP with no problems. Now under CS6 they leave a smudge. For example, if the is a spot on a vein of a leaf, now, instead of removing the spot and filling in the line of the vein I just get a smudge the size of the spot healing brush.
Content aware fill now leaves a smudged and obviously poor result.
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.

One of my favorite tools is the spot healing brush with content aware option. For some reason it suddenly stopped working! The black circle doesn't appear when I click my mouse. I have reset the tool to no avail.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI am attempting to follow along with the Photoshop video tutorials using the red lighthouse photo. In the video the instructor clicks the object to be removed, it briefly shows a dark grey field in the affected area when he clicks and the spot is removed. When I clicked the object to follow along with the video I get a red field in the affected area when I click and the spot remains. I have absolutely no clue as to what is going wrong. I downloaded the trial which I understand to be identical to the full version freshly last night.

Switching back and forth from Lightroom, I usually find the radio button has switched back to "Create Texture" mode, which I do not want. I leave it in Content-Aware, but it switches on its own. Can't find any way to set it to stay where I put it.

Basically, a substantial portion of the time I hit "Q" I do not get the circle for spot heal. The cursor disappears and I cannot see anything. However, the tool is working, but I can't see its size. If I turn it off and back on I get the crosshairs and thus I can click and hide spots, but I can't see when I grow/shrink it, and I can't see when I move it.
I've seen this with all of the Lightroom 4.1 versions (RC1, RC2, and now GM) on OS X 10.7.4. This is on a Mac Pro with ATI graphics.
I have a problem with Lightroom (=LR). When i use "the spot removal tool", there is only one circle, around the spot i want to remove. The other spot, that use to show the clean area that the tool is sampling from, does not come up.
When i left-click on the mouse, LR remove the spot, but i do not have any influance on where LR samples the clean area from.
I have just updated LR from version 4.2 to 4.3, but as far as i remember, the problem was there before i updated.
I use Windows 7, 64 bit version on my PC.
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?
