To the Right of the brush settings is a button to open the Clone Source palette. You can also edit the shape of your brush, but I rarely, if ever, do this myself. The standard setting of 25% works fine for me in most cases. The Spacing control is similar to Flow and a lower value leads to a more smoothly blended result. While you can soften the edge of your brush by reducing the Hardness value, as the tool works by blending pixels, the edge usually blends very well without needing to adjust this, however the option is there if you find it necessary. Apart from the Size setting that you’ll want to adjust depending on the size of the area that you’re working on, in most cases you may be best to leave the settings at their defaults. The first of these that we’ll look at is the brush settings drop down. Once you select the Healing Brush, you’ll see the tool options bar displaying the various controls. Now, with the blank layer active, when you work with the Healing Brush, you will paint onto the blank layer and the original image will be unchanged below. Now change the Sample drop down to the right of the tool options bar to All Layers. Go to Layer > New > Layer or click the New layer button in the Layers palette. However, there is a way to use it in a non-destructive manner by adding a blank layer to your photo and painting onto that. The Healing Brush tool is designed to act directly on your image pixels and so is a destructive tool as the edits cannot be reversed once your file has been closed. Can the Healing Brush Be Used Non-Destructively?

If you can’t see either of these in your Tools palette, look for the Patch tool or Red Eye tool and click and hold it to open the fly out sub-menu from which you can select the Healing Brush. It should not be confused with the Spot Healing Brush which has a similar icon, but also includes a dotted line. The Healing Brush is found in a group of tools and is represented by a sticking plaster icon. It is well suited for working on flat areas without much detail, but you need to take care with using it near the edges of areas. In use it is very similar to the Clone Stamp Tool, however where the Clone Stamp replaces pixels completely, the Healing Brush blends the color of pixels from the sample point with the target pixels. The Healing Brush tool is one of Photoshop’s powerful tools for editing and correcting blemishes and imperfections in your photos.
