 Posted: Sat Apr 11, 2009 8:04 pm Post subject: Healing brush makes holes in image |
 |
|
I'm using photoshop CS3. When I use the healing brush like, it makes holes in the image that I'm using it on sort of like it's erasing that spot that I'm using it on instead of fixing that spot. How can I fix my healing brush so it works like it's supposed to - as described in my "Classroom in a book" for Photoshop CS3? |

Are you using the healing brush or the spot healing brush? The spot healing brush is really designed for very small secions of the image(as the name implies)and can create the effect of "making holes" as you say, when used incorrectly. If you are referring to the actual Healing Brush, are you setting a source point by alt/clicking on an appropriate part of the image? Have you got "source" ( in the options bar) set to "sampled" or "pattern"? What exactly do you mean by holes? Is your image becoming transparent at these points?
If you can answer these questions and get back to me I may be able to help. |

1) Yes, I'm referring to the actual healing brush;
2) Yes, I'm alt/clicking;
3) Yes, I think I've got it set to "sampled" (I think; I have to check)
4) Yes, my image is becoming transparent at these points where I apply the healing brush to fix a flaw in the image. |

I've tried every combination of settings, with multiple layers and even a transparent layer, in order to replicate this problem. It's as if your healing brush is acting like the eraser tool. I can't make it out. I have contacted another couple of people and they haven't heard of it either. Hopefully, when people see this someone may come up with some more ideas. I can't help thinking that something is staring us in the face but we can't see it.
Meanwhile, if you haven't already done so, I strongly suggest you reset your preferences by pressing shift/ctrl/alt while loading Photoshop. If that doesn't work, try uninstalling and reinstalling Photoshop. |

You could also try going to the small arrow next to the healing brush symbol at top left of screen.Then click on the arrow to the right of that box, then click "reset tool". |
