Moof! You use the Healing Brush just like the clone tool. Option click the sample area and paint on the target area. The Patch Tool whom lives below lasso's the target area, then said selection is dragged to the sample area?a reverse of typical cloning procedure.
What these two tools do differently than cloning is that no matter where the sample is taken, the luminosity?lightness/darkness?is matched in the target area. ie. If you sample in shadow and the target is in the light, the shadow sample area would be converted to the value of the light. The advantage of the healing brush is in retouch and restoration, particularly in portraiture?great for zits! I find only occasional use for the tool and specifically for the use above. If you do not do portrait work the value of upgrading from APS 6 to 7, is negligible. I upgraded specifically for the Healing Brush and the desire to run exclusively in OS X. (I also wanted to be at least as kewl as Bill K) Best...vDog On Tuesday, September 10, 2002, at 09:21 AM, Brian O'Neal wrote: > I guess this question is targeted at vDog. > How do you use the healing brush and what does it do.
