Adobe® Photoshop® Elements 3.0: A New Version!
Part 5

 

Spot Healing Brush and Healing Brush

The Healing Brush got its start from Photoshop®, and is a tool everyone was glad to see included in Elements 3.0. It works like the clone stamp tool where you sample an area to heal from by opt/alt clicking before starting the healing process. The Spot Healing Brush is a whole new ball game, as you will see in a minute.

Healing Brush

A scratch, blemish, tear, or even a discoloration can be eliminated in a few seconds with the healing brush. Sample from a good area of the photo and if you watch the healing brush as you use it, you can almost see it think as it determines the best match from your sampled area.

Spot Healing Brush

The Spot healing brush, however, is entirely new for Elements 3.0. This tool lets you paint over part of an image and it fills it in, removing your subject from the picture in seconds! We may see this one in a later version of Photoshop®, or Elements users may get to keep it all to themselves. Time will tell!
