Photoshop healing Brushes, patching, stamp tools tutorial

All repair or patching tools match the texture, lighting, transparency, and shading of the sample pixels to the pixels that are being repaired. Using the copied method or using the Clone Stamp tool does not. When this set of tools works with a selection, only the objects within the selection are valid.

　　One, stain healing brush (J)

1, the concept of a stain: refers to a large range of similar or the same color area of other colors. Does not include other colors that appear at the transition point of the two colors.

2, the principle of repair: the use of images or patterns in the sample pixel painting, and the sample pixel texture, lighting, transparency and shadow and the fixed pixel match.

3, the sample pixel determination method:

In approximate match mode:

(1) If no selection is made for the stain, the sample automatically uses pixels around the outside of the stain.

(2) If a stain is selected, the sample takes a pixel outside the selection.

In Create texture mode:

Use all the pixels in the selection to create a texture that fixes the area. If the texture doesn't work, try dragging through the area again.

4. Options Bar:

(1) Select a brush size in the options bar. If you don't create a stain selection, the brush is the best fit for the area you want to repair, so you can overwrite the entire field with just one click.

(2) Choose blending Mode from the Mode menu in the Options bar. Choose Replace to retain the noise, film particles, and textures at the edge of the brush stroke.

(3) If you select "Sample all Layers" in the options bar, you can sample the data from all visible layers. If you deselect "sample all Layers", only samples from the active layer are selected. Click the area you want to repair, or click and drag on the larger area.

　　Second, the Repair Brush tool (J)

1, set the sampling point: Press the ALT key and click. If you click on a fix and the alignment is not selected in the options bar, the sampling point remains fixed, and if you drag in the Fix or select snap in the options bar, the sampling point changes relative to the drag range. (The sampling point is represented by a cross type)

Note: If you want to sample from one image and apply to another image, the color mode of the two images must be the same, unless one of the images is in grayscale mode.

2. Options Bar:

(1) Mode: If "Normal" is selected, the sample pixel is used for painting while the texture, illumination, transparency and shadow of the sample pixel are fused with the restored pixel; if "Replace" is selected, the target pixel is replaced with a sample pixel and there is no fusion with the target location. (You can also select a selection before you fix it, the selection limits the range to be repaired within the selection and not the selection.) ）

(2) Source: If you select sample, you must press Alt-click to sample and fix the target with the current sampling point, and if you select pattern, select a pattern in the pattern list and use the pattern to fix the target.

(3) Alignment: When you do not select the item, each drag and then release the left arrow and drag, is to press ALT when the same as the choice to fix the target, and when the item is selected, each drag and then release the left arrow and then drag, will then last did not replicate the completed image repair target. (4) If you select "Sample all Layers" in the options bar, you can sample the data from all visible layers. If you deselect "sample all Layers", only samples from the active layer are selected.

　　Third, patching tool (J)

The patch tool matches the texture, lighting, and shading of the sample pixels to the source pixel.

Options Bar:

1, Repair:

(1) Source: Refers to the object to be patched is now selected area, the method is to select the area to be patched, and then drag the selection to the area used for patching.

(2) Target: In contrast to "source", the area to be patched is where the selection is moved, not the area before it is moved. The method is to select the area first, and then drag the selection to the area you want to patch.

2, Transparent: If you do not select the item, the area is patched with the surrounding image only on the edge of fusion, while the internal image texture remains unchanged, only in color with the original region fusion; If selected, then the patched area, in addition to the edge fusion, also has internal texture fusion, that is, the patched area seems to be transparent processing.

3, the use of patterns: Select a area to be repaired, point "use pattern" command, the area to be repaired with this pattern repair.

　　Iv. Imitation Stamp (S):

The usage is similar to the Fix brush tool, which does not merge with the object and the target area, and is equivalent to selecting Replace mode in the options bar when you use the Repair brush tool.

Summary: Tips for using the repair and stamp tools: six different:

1, the repair when selected and not selected;

2, the restoration of alignment and alignment is not the same;

3, the brush pen is big and the pen is small different;

4, brush hardness and hardness of a small difference;

5, fix the drag and do not drag is not the same;

6, transparency and opacity are not the same.
