The Spot Healing Brush Tool, Healing Brush Tool and Clone Stamp Tool are all useful for removing dust spots and either of them will do the job. Personally, I prefer to work with the Spot Healing Brush as it’s the simplest of the three but just as powerful. Here’s my preferred way to remove dust spots in Photoshop. Hello,I have really serious problem with tools mentioned in the title. When I want to use these tools, it always get stuck after I select them. Here I can recognize the problem right after click on them because cursor is not changing to circle. When I want to change size of my brush but here is not working even right mouse click or shortcut on Wacom Intuos tablet. I even can ́t change tool. Granted, Spot Healing is a great tool, but it never really liked power lines or edge content – those things are no longer a problem. Wire removal deserves a brief tutorial:-drop a path on the wire or wires-close the path-select the Spot Healing Brush (make sure that Content-Aware Fill is checked in the option bar). If you've ever had a photo that had an unfortunate branch in the way, or a person too close to the subject of your photo, Photoshop CS5's new spot-healing tool will make it disappear with. Or, you could download a high-quality, watercolor brush pack for Photoshop, and apply it to all your designs in just a fraction of time needed to make it from scratch. Watercolor brushes are a great choice for modern design projects that require a subtle texture and a tiny bit of depth.

Spot Healing Brush Tool In Photoshop Cs5 Free Download Mac

Written by abdulwahab. In this Photo Retouching tutorial, we’ll look at one of the most amazing and time saving photo retouching tools available, the Spot Healing Brush, the first of three image “healing” tools in Photoshop. The Spot Healing Brush was first introduced in Photoshop CS2 and, like the other two healing tools (the standard Healing Brush and the Patch Tool), it’s essentially a texture replacement tool, meaning that it tries to create a seamless repair by replacing damaged or unwanted texture from one area in an image with good texture from another area, without changing the problem area’s original color or brightness values. What makes the Spot Healing Brush so amazing and fast is that it does this with almost no effort from us!

Both the standard Healing Brush and the Patch Tool need us to tell them which area of good texture we want to use to replace the bad texture with, but the Spot Healing Brush makes the decision all on its own. In most cases, all we need to do is click on a problem area with the Spot Healing Brush and Photoshop repairs it instantly, almost like magic! It works by choosing new texture from the area surrounding the spot we clicked on, and it usually does a great job as long as we remember that the name of the tool is the Spot Healing Brush, not the Huge Problem Area Healing Brush or the Click And Drag Me All Over The Image And Expect Miracles Healing Brush. The Spot Healing Brush works best on, well, little spots. In this tutorial, we’ll see how to use it to quickly and effortlessly remove pimples and other minor skin blemishes, but it’s also great at removing things like dust, dirt and mold and repairing small scratches.

Making Fast Even Faster With Keyboard Shortcuts

As we’ll see in a moment, the Spot Healing Brush works fast, but a few simple keyboard shortcuts will speed things up even more. To zoom in on the image, hold down Ctrl+spacebar (Win) / Command+spacebar (Mac) to temporarily access the Zoom Tool and click on the spot you need to zoom in on. To zoom out, hold downAlt+spacebar (Win) / Option+spacebar (Mac) and click. To scroll around inside the image when you’re zoomed in, hold down the spacebar by itself to temporarily switch to the Hand Tool, then click and drag to move the image around.

For best results with the Spot Healing Brush, you’ll want to use a brush size that’s just slightly larger than the area you’re trying to fix, which means you’ll usually need to change your brush size quite often as you make your way from one problem spot to the next. The fastest way to change your brush size is with the left and right bracket keys on your keyboard. Press the left bracket key ( [ ) to make the brush smaller or the right bracket key ( ] ) to make it larger. Also, since the Spot Healing Brush chooses the new texture on its own, sometimes it makes a mistake. When it does, simply undo the step by pressing Ctrl+Z (Win) / Command+Z (Mac), then try again.

For this tutorial, I’ll be using the Spot Healing Brush to quickly remove some distracting pimples from the girl’s face in the photo below, but the technique is the same no matter what it is you’re trying to remove or repair as long as the area is small enough for the Spot Healing Brush to be effective. I’ll be using Photoshop CS5 here, but any version from CS2 onward will work. Here’s the photo I’ll be working with (acne on face photo from Shutterstock):

Let’s get started!

Step 1: Add A New Blank Layer

With the photo newly opened in Photoshop, we can see in the Layers panel that we currently have one layer, theBackground layer, which holds our image:

Even though our goal is to make the photo look better, we still want to protect the original, so let’s add a new blank layer above the Background layer. We’ll do all of our spot healing work on this separate layer. Click on the New Layer icon at the bottom of the Layers panel:

Clicking the New Layer icon.

Step 2: Rename The New Layer

Photoshop adds the new blank layer above the Background layer, but by default, it names the layer Layer 1. That doesn’t tell us much about what the layer is being used for, so double-click directly on the layer’s name in the Layers panel and rename it “spot healing”. It’s not uncommon when retouching images to end up with lots of layers, and giving each one a descriptive name makes it easier to keep them organized. Press Enter (Win) / Return (Mac) when you’re done to accept the new name:

Step 3: Select The Spot Healing Brush

Select the Spot Healing Brush from the Tools panel. You’ll find it grouped in with the other healing tools. If one of the other tools is showing in place of the Spot Healing Brush, click on the tool and hold your mouse button down for a second or two until a small fly-out menu appears, then select the Spot Healing Brush from the menu:

The Spot Healing Brush is grouped in with the other healing tools.

Step 4: Select The “Sample All Layers” Option

By default, the Spot Healing Brush works only with the layer that’s currently selected in the Layers panel. That will cause us some problems if we try to use it right now since we have a blank layer selected, which means all we’d be able to do is replace nothing with different nothing. We need to tell Photoshop to look at the image on the Background layer as well. To do that, select the Sample All Layers option in the Options Bar along the top of the screen:

Selecting the Sample All Layers option in the Options Bar.

Step 5: Select “Content-Aware”

If you’re using Photoshop CS5 or later, make sure you have Content-Aware selected in the Options Bar. This feature is new in CS5 and allows the Spot Healing Brush to more intelligently choose good replacement texture for the problem area you’ve clicked on, using texture from the surrounding area. If you’re using CS4 or earlier, you won’t have Content-Aware available. In that case, you’ll want to select Proximity Match which can still give you great results:

Select Content-Aware for best results (or Proximity Match for CS4 and earlier users).

Step 6: Click On The Problem Spots To Heal Them
