Have you tried defining a non-feathered Marquee selection that disincludes the area you want to keep unchanged?

No, I haven’t thought of that. I do a lot of retouching of faces and it would seem to take a lot of extra time.

Thanks,

Al…

The selection doesn’t need to be terribly precise, except in the area you’re trying to protect. Do a big general selection; zoom in; add to it with a more careful lasso, or use whichever method you’re most comfortable with. Perhaps paint a really QUICK quick mask. It doesn’t need to be too labor-intensive. Retouching is time consuming as it is, no matter how proficient one is. This little thing might make a convenient difference in your efforts. Spend a minute, save five. It’s a good trade-off.

the patch tool is a good option too, as yrbkmgr says. i use the patch tool then often immediately follow with a fade (crtl-shift-F). gets good results. seems to be more control than the healing brush…
