Step 3: Adjust the size and hardness of the brush by clicking on the slider. Set the Mode to Normal.
Proximity match will look at everything in the vicinity and decide what texture should be
inside the brush. Create Texture will add texture from the surrounding area. Content aware
works in the similar way as Content Aware fill does but in a particular area only. Check on
Sample All Layers if working with two layers only, one is the original image and other one is
new layer for editing.
Step 4: Click on a spot or drag over an object
you want to remove. This is however
applicable only for small areas.
Using Spot Healing Brush Tool
Healing Brush Tool
Healing Brush Tool helps you to clone areas from an image and blend the pixels from the sampled
area with the target area. It allows the user to choose a particular source to blend, which the Spot
Healing Brush Tool does not. The steps to use the Healing Brush Tool are:
Step 1: Open the image in Photoshop which needs your attention and select the Healing Brush Tool
from the Tools panel.
Step 2: Create a new layer above image layer to add the modifications. Rename the layer Touchup
to identify it easily.
Step 3: Adjust the size of the brush by clicking on the slider and set Sample to Current & Below or All
Layers so it will pull the pixels from the base layer. Otherwise you will just be healing a blank
layer.
Step 4: Then, you need to set a source point from which to heal
the affected area. Hold down the Alt key and click on the
source point.
Step 5: Click and drag the cursor over the damaged areas to be
healed.

objects and select the Patch Tool from the Tools panel.
