Healing Brush Tool
The Healing Brush tool paints with sampled pixels from an image or pattern to repair imperfections in
an image. It matches the texture, lighting, transparency, and shading of the sampled pixels and applies
them to the pixels that are being healed.
To use the Healing Brush Tool:
1. Open a saved image.
2. In the Tools panel, select the Healing Brush tool.
3. In the Options bar, do the following:

3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4

3.1 Click the down arrow next to Brush and specify a size for the brush.
3.2 Choose a Source to use for repairing pixels:
• Sampled : to use pixels from the current image.
• Pattern : to use pixels from a pattern. If you chose Pattern, select a pattern from the
Pattern pop-up panel.
3.3 Select Aligned to sample pixels continuously, without losing the current sampling point, even
if you release the mouse button. Deselect Aligned to continue to use the sampled pixels from
the initial sampling point each time you stop and resume painting.
3.4 Select Current Layer or All layers from the Layer Selector drop-down list.

4. Hold down the Alt key and click an area over the image to set the sampling point.
