Healing Brush jumps rather than tracking smoothly

Hi.

Have CS4 on Windows XP. Wacom tablet and pen. Nvidia GEForce 7600GS video card.

Have updated Tablet drivers and Video card driver as of this am. (Fri Jan 16 09). Adobe updates seem to be having a bit of trouble coming through though. Virus program is AVG.

Healing brush only, when we alt click to set the selection point and then move to the area we want changed and drag the curser, the selection point glides along smoothly while the target hops along giving a series of altered spots with non-altered spots in between.

Clone brush and so on are fine.

Any ideas, past experiences? Or have I ventured into new territory?

Thanks in advance

Donna

Have you tried resetting the tool?

Hi John

I have checked preferences etc. What else do you mean by resetting the tool?

Thanks

In the Options bar, next to the Tool icon (far left) is a drop-down menu. Click that and you’ll see the brush preset window. Top right of that is another drop-down menu where you’ll see "Reset Tool".
