Can someone tell me how I can use the Healing Brush tool in Photoshop when it gets close to an edge where there’s a major change in tonal lightness? I’m aware of the measures you’re supposed to take to avoid this – such as limiting the area you’re working on by making a selection – but I still seem to get a darker or lighter patch as soon as I move close to an edge even though the area is ‘isolated’ by a selection.

Is this something I’m doing wrong – or is it just a question of altering certain parameters (feathering for example?). I’ve looked for answers to this in countless books – but all of them seem to insist the problem can be overcome simply by selection.

TIA,

Nige
