Once in a while, I use the healing brush to remove an object from a photo. It could be a photo smudge, or a piece of trash, grafitti, a pimple, or whatever. Sometimes, it seems to work perfectly. The object I painted over is completely replaced.
Othertimes, the object I’m trying to remove isn’t replaced. Instead, the Healing Brush merely blends the object with the sample area I had designated. The object doesn’t disappear; it becomes blurry and smudged.
What are the factors affecting this seemingly random behavior? Right now, I’m using Healing Brush strictly on a trial-and-error basis. I can’t for the life of me predict if or when it will work. The tool would be much more useful and intuitive for me if I actually understood how and why it works.
