Can anyone please explain to me how the Spot Healing Brush works... Where does it pull from when you use it to cover blemishes or fine hairs? It seems random to me and I can't quite figure out where it pulls from to cover a blemish or defect in a photo. I am using CS3 and I will brush over a blemish and it will blend nicely and when I blend another one it will act almost like a clone tool and pull from a part of the photo I don't want? Any knowledge on this one? Thanks

try the "healing brush" you can hold alt and select a target to heal from.

A new tool in Photoshop's formidable arsenal of restoration and correction tools is the Spot Healing Brush. With a name similar to the Healing brush, you might expect that the tools have similar features, and you would be correct. The main difference between the two tools is that the Spot Healing Brush does not require you take a sample of the area to heal. The Spot Healing Brush tool takes the area sample as you work by sampling the surrounding pixels. The Spot Healing brush, as its name implies, works best on small spots and imperfections. To heal larger areas, the standard Healing Brush, Patch tool, and even the good old Clone Stamp tool are your best bets.

| heck, can we go back to the plain old healing brush? I've never understood that baby. Sometimes it works exactly like I think, sometimes it produces bizarre results I wouldn't have guessed would occur. |
