Then paint with that copied image data over the spot that you want to cover.

From the Size menu, you can choose Pen Pressure, or Stylus Wheel if you have a tablet hooked up to your computer.Īfter choosing a brush, press the Alt key and click on the spot in your picture from which you want to copy image data. You can either type values into the Angle and Roundness text boxes, or drag on dots or arrowhead in the proxy image on the left to reshape the brush tip. At greater settings, you will begin to see gaps between the tip imprints. At the default 25 % the brush tips give the appearance of a solid line. Spacing determines how often each brush ‘footprint’ is laid down. Hardness sets how much fuzziness or feathering there is on the edges of the brush. The Diameter sets the brushes total size. If you’ve never seen previous versions of Photoshop, this palette used to be the only way you could customize brush tip application. You build a brush using the old pre-7 brush options palette. Unlike most of the other painting tools in Photoshop 7, this brush does not use the new mega-brushes engine. First, choose a brush shape and size by clicking on the brush thumbnail on the options bar. When you have the Sampled radio button chosen on the tool’s options bar, use this tool in the same way that you use the clone stamp. Toggle between the healing brush and the patch tool by pressing the Shift key, and the shortcut letter. The keyboard shortcut key for the healing brush is the letter J.

If the healing brush is not visible, click on the icon of the patch tool in the toolbar, and choose the healing brush from the pop-up menu.

The healing brush and patch tool are grouped together in the toolbar. Used for seamless merging of cloned image data
