I have an image which is mostly rocks and trees, but which also features a number of people wearing mostly white clothing. I want to remove those people. Normally I’d use the stamp brush to clone part of the greenery over them, PS6-style. However, always one to be right on the cutting edge of technology 😉 I thought I’d try this much appreciated healing brush people have been enthusing about since 7.0 came out.
I’m clearly missing something important, ‘cos it don’t work too well! When I select greenery and brush over the person in the white clothes, I get a smear of green tinted white. I appreciate this "blending" of textures and lightness is what the tool is supposed to do, but that begs the question, when would I want to do that? I can think of plenty of ways to produce a white smear across my image – why add a tool to do it?!
Seriously, I’ve obviously misunderstood the use of this tool. I thought it was an improved clone stamp, but it’s certainly of no use in this instance. What /do/ people use the healing brush for, and under what circumstances is it more or less appropriate than the clone stamp?
