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.
