Does the healing brush actually work? I can never get it to work right 1

[aries2]

Any tips on how to get a good result?
Thanks!

Treat it the same as the Rubber Stamp (now called clone stamp) tool and you will get a good result. In other words work in small areas and choose your source point wisely.

Wow JT that almost looked like you knew what you were doing!

Actually the healing tool is far more powerful than the clone tool.

The healing tool moves texture while maintaining the lighting quality in the area you are healing.

The healing tool also pulls in surrounding color to the area to be healed, and how much is pulled in can be controlled by the brush hardness.

Also when healing a selected area the color pull-in does not go beyond the selection.

After a healing has been made, like a scratch or a wrinkle, you can use the Edit > Fade Healing > then use slide bar to adjust opacity to essentially adjust from no healing to complete healing. Kinda cool.

much luck

I didn't mean to imply that the healing tool was the same as the clone tool, just that effective use of the tool is the same.

Sorry pixl8r I didn't mean to imply you did, I was just trying to explain to aries2 some of the subtleties.

NP... I was really just agreeing with you anyway.
