LR4 removal/spot healing brush

I was hoping and waiting for better healing/spot removal brush in LR4... and now I'm disappointed

should I wait for LR5?

I am completely with you.  I need to take almost every image in Photoshop to use the Healing Brush, and it's a giant pain in the a$ $.  It's really disturbing to workflow and I cannot that assume Adobe does not add this feature to LR because it would be cannibalizing PS too.  I talked to several photographers who feel the same way.  They use PS to all its layers and text tools etc etc - just very good healing tools.  LR is a very good organizer, the RAW image processor, the engine noise reduction, but it is not what I need to do for any editing when it comes to portraits.

  • Spot Healing brush and concealer problem

    I have the latest version of Photoshop installed CC 2015.  However, there is a problem with the toolbar on the left side. The Spot Healing Brush tool and the heal tool have no menu to click and get other options, like the red eyes under the Spot Healing brush removal tool.  It seems to be a fault of my software.  Does anyone have any suggestions?  Everything else seems to work very well.

    I have a PC running Windows 8.1.  A lot of RAM and memory available.

    Hi deborahl.

    They could are passed under the edition toolbar option.

    Go to the Edit menu > toolbar > restore default values and then check out.

    Kind regards

  • Can someone explain this to me? (Spot healing brush)

    While testing on the Checker task tool, I tried to remove a tattoo, but then I played a bit with the hair and it seems as if she managed to reveal part of his tattoo which was not already visible.

    . This photoshop is actually add something that never existed, or is this going deeper in the picture and show something that has been 'hidden '. If you don't know where to look, look at the top of his left wing

    Hello

    Spot healing brush draws the closest pixel and replace that pixel to the closest match.

    Also, if you want to clone something, you can use Clone Stamp tool...

  • Spot Healing Brush strangely acting as a cloning tool

    I removed the text in the speech bubble below, then I applied the Spot Healing Brush to remove the character surplus lines.  Bubble's pink gradient background color, and that's what I expected to see after my request for spot Healing Brush, not weird images from body of the Lady.

    Nice work! Glad that you understood. Yes, by sliding autour can cause a little problem sometimes

  • Spot Healing Brush preset

    Hello. I have a couple of hot pixels on the sensor and individually removing each photo takes a long time. Is it possible to apply the spot healing brush on a photo if necessary and copy the strokes on the other pictures, because tasks are hung exactly in the same place on all images?

    In other words, I would like to batch - heal all the images at once.

    Thank you

    David

    do I need to open the image as a smart object to follow your guide?

    So, first I have to make a selection/s and then edit - Fill-...? If so, what tool would be preferable to my tiny selections?

    No, it doesn't have to be a dynamic object.

    I kind of consider linking action to a button that you can press on when you edit your document and you want to change, but how you want to use, it is entirely up to you.

    Actions may seem a bit geeky, but once you get the hang of recording your steps as actions and get used to the editor in the Actions Panel, they can be very useful for repetitive functions that can be surprisingly complex.  To record an action, name it properly then just do operations you want to repeat on a representative picture, then stop recording.  Brush strokes will not save, but most everything else will be.

    Because hot pixels affect probably 1 or maybe up to 9 pixels, I'd just by using the Rectangle tool to make very small selections (you can, of course, make several by holding down the SHIFT key).  Note that this assumes that every time you use the same images of sizes, and as I mentioned the locations will be different for a portrait and a landscape image.

    Fun with actions!

  • White layer no longer allows the use of Spot Healing brush and Clone Stamp Tools

    I do a lot of photo restoration. Before the last update, I used to add a blank layer and adjust the photo with the Spot Healing brush or Clone Stamp Tools.

    This no longer works.

  • Why didn't - not the dialog box 'sample all layers' that displays in the Spot Healing Brush Panel?

    Why the "sample all layers" dialog box is not displayed in my Spot Healing Brush in Photoshop CC Panel - can I have disabled this option in error?  Can I fix it simply?

    Can you post a screenshot of your light?

    That's what you should see the tool options in photoshop cc 2015.1.2 with the Spot Healing Brush tool selected.

    Check in the photoshop Preferences > workspace and see if close Enable option bar is selected that has a different appearance of the symbols in the options toolbar.

  • Spot healing brush tool deselection when I uncheck

    I use Photoshop cc. I put my image in black and white and I use the spot Healing Brush tool to bring the colors in some of the photo. It was working fine yesterday, but today when I use the spot Healing Brush tool when I uncheck the mouse to change the size of the brush that it deselects everything I did. I'm sure this is a simple settings, but I can't understand it. Help, please

    Hi Shadrack,

    Greetings!

    I think that something is wrong here.

    Spot healing brush should not be used to bring the colors.

  • How to use the Spot Healing Brush?

    I used the Spot Healing Brush 5 images with ease. When I used it today, it would not help in the elimination of the task. What is the problem?

    The obvious things to check first: If you are in the right layer? If you are editing on a new empty layer, you select all layers checked. Following would be: you have a choice you hid. Another would be to ensure that the blending mode of the tool is to normal. If all those who are correct, then probably want to reset the tool.

  • Is there a way to reflect the image taken by the spot Healing Brush tool?

    Hello

    Is there a way to reflect the image taken by the spot Healing Brush tool? For example, I learn to restore an old photo of a face. One nostril is damaged, so I want to use the other to replace, but the image of the nostril by the spot Healing Brush tool is back forward.

    Thank you

    Sally

    Hi Sally,

    It is the wrong tool to use, but rather to use the clone stamp. Open the control panel in the Windows menu and you will see many options. One is to reverse the cloned area. Like this. Put the clone on its own layer like that allows you to better position and apply a layer mask to cover whatever it is unwittingly cloned. Cloning should be done with a soft brush at around 50% opacity just to enhance the effect. When you have finished giving the layer clone a soft Gaussian blur as this smooth out the look. Then flatten to restore

  • CC of Photoshop seems to hang for a few minutes when you import Lightroom CC using the Spot Healing Brush.

    Recently updated Lightroom LR CC and CC updated Photoshop. When I "edit a photo in Photoshop CC", Photoshop seems to crash shortly after the image is loaded. Using the Spot Healing Brush just seems to hang the system for a few moments. Sometimes, I left the window and comes back only to see the large tracts of "to be edited" trails on the image. When they came, I have no idea. After an eternity, these trails are published. I have no idea where Photoshop is going and what is the cause.

    It doesn't look like we'll be much help then, but you use a similar thread in the LR forum?  No, I see that it is the only wire you have anywhere.

    This looks more like a LR problem, so go ask there as well:
