Photoshop Healing Brush Tool

Photoshop's Healing Brush tool contains four tools, which are the stain healing brush tool, the healing brush tool, the patching tool, the red Eye tool, and the shortcut key for the tool is the letter J.

Photoshop Healing Brush Tool

Healing Brush Tool

1. Make selection of the healing brush tool.

2. Click the brush sample in the options bar and set the brush options in the pop-up palette.

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.

In the Options bar, select the source to use to fix the pixels: sampling uses the pixels of the current image, and patterns can use the pixels of a pattern. If you selected pattern, select a pattern from the pattern pop-up palette.

3. Selecting Align in the options bar will continuously sample pixels without losing the current sampling point, even if you release the mouse button. If you deselect align, the sample pixels from the initial sampling point are used each time you stop and start painting again.

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.

5. For the Healing Brush tool in Sample mode, you can set the sampling point by placing the pointer in any open image, and then holding down the ALT key and clicking.

6, drag in the image. Each time you release the mouse button, the sample pixels are mixed with the existing pixels. Check the status bar to see the status of the blending process.

Stain Healing Brush Tool

The Stain healing Brush tool can quickly remove stains and other undesirable parts of the photo. The stain healing brush works like a healing brush: it paints with sample pixels from an image or pattern and matches the texture, lighting, transparency, and shading of the sample pixels to the pixels that are being repaired. Unlike healing brushes, the stain healing brush does not ask you to specify a sample point. The stain healing brush is automatically sampled from around the decorated area.

Patching Tools

By using the Patch tool, you can repair the selected area with pixels from another area or pattern. Like the healing Brush tool, the patch tool matches the texture, lighting, and shading of the sample pixels to the source pixel. You can also use the Patch tool to clone an isolated area of an image.

Red Eye Tool

The Red Eye tool removes the red-eye from a person's photo taken with a flash, or it can remove the white and green reflections from an animal photograph taken with a flash.

1. Choose Red Eye Tool.

2, in the red eye midpoint. If you are not satisfied with the results, restore the correction, set one or more of the following options in the Options bar, and then click the red Eye again.

Pupil size: Sets the size of the pupil (the center of the eye's dark color).

Dimming Volume: Sets the pupil's dark degree.

Practice Exercise:

First look at the original image

Effect Chart:

1. Right click on the original image to save to the local computer

2. Open this picture in Photoshop. (File/Open)

3. Copy layer to this picture, shortcut key (CTRL+J).

4. Select the Stain Healing Brush tool (shortcut key J) in the Toolbox.

Stain Healing Brushes: the equivalent of a rubber stamp and the general repair brush combined effect. You do not need to define the origin, as long as you determine the location of the repaired image, you will automatically find similar similarity for automatic matching at the edge of the fixed repair location.

5. Click in a small area where you want to fix it (since it's called a spot fix, which means it's suitable for removing the tiny parts of the screen).

Tip 1: Use the Magnifier tool (Z key) to enlarge the image while repairing.

Tip 2: When drawing, you can press the [and] keys on your keyboard to control the brush size.

After use you can obviously feel the defects of the stain repair

1. Because it's automatic, it's easy to pick up unwanted parts.

2. Only a small range of damage can be handled.

6. To learn the second tool, select the second healing Brush tool in the toolbox.

7. Set the repair Brush tool's hardness to ' 50% ' in the property bar

8. Hold down ALT while the photo is not damaged (Alt + icon turns to cross), and then release alt to fix around.

Tip 1: Use the Magnifier tool (Z key) to enlarge the image while repairing.

Tip 2: You can control the brush size by pressing the [and] keys on your keyboard when you fix it.

Tip 3: Repeat sampling is required to repair different areas.

Now that we've learned to use the healing brush tool, it's often used when patching images. But in the use of it is also the same as the spot repair, trajectory-oriented graphics tools rely entirely on the movement of the user's mouse, although flexible, but for the drawing of regional boundaries is not accurate grasp, such as the above example in the repair of text edge, it is easy to appear dislocation. Although reducing the brush width can improve this, smaller brushes will increase the time of drawing.

9. To learn the third tool, select the Patch tool in the Toolbox:

10. Select the part that you want to repair, then drag it to the area without damage, and release the mouse.

Tip: You can use ALT + CTRL to add and subtract a selection.

With the patch tool, you can see that the patching tools make up for the deficiencies in the first two tools. The Patching tools work the same way as they do with the healing brush tool, except that they are used differently. The action of the Patching tool is based on the region, so define a region first like this (similar to a selection)

11. In addition to using these 3 tools, we can use the Stamp tool (the stamp tool is explained in the following course), the 3 tools we learned today have their own strengths and can be used in conjunction with the actual use. This will achieve the highest efficiency and the best repair effect.

The final red Eye tool is simple and is not explained in the example.
