I would like to have any tutorial that prevents the bleeding of the Healing Brush when near a very different color or density area.
I heard that in "Photoshop User" one tutorial appeard about this problem, but never saw it.
I would appreciate very much any help, because every time that I get into the problem I have to go to the Clone Tool.
I have tried everything in my knowledge of Photoshop and I would like to know if there is an answer to my question or this is a flaw that Adobe has not dealt with, yet.
Thanks in advance. Is a pleasure to write in a forum that is so elegant and professional. Beltran.

The gist of it: make a selection of the area you are trying to heal, so the selection excludes the color bleeding in.

And make sure you are using a hard edged brush — soft edged brushes tend to make the healing worse.

The healing brush works, sort of, by bleeding in color from the edges to replace the color you are trying to eliminate – making it smooth again. If the edges aren’t smooth, the healing brush does it’s best to guess what the interior should be, but it aims for smooth results and can’t know the exact color that should be there.

Yup, this is the way we have liked it for years and we’re enjoying it while we can. Changes are scheduled for April that not all of us will be happy with. :/ We’ll just have to wait and see.

Thanks a lot Chris, but it looks like there is no solution, at least not the one that I would like. Just to make sure, I just did what you just said (which, by the way, I had already tried) and got the annoying bleeding that I was talking about. Of course the procedure minimizes the bleeding, but not completely. My work is photography retouching, image restoration, image enhancing and high quality printing, and I’m also very demanding to myself.
Well, anyway I appreciate very much your attention, and thank you for it.

The previews of similar forums don’t leave much room for hope. 🙁 As long as performance doesn’t suffer, it’ll be OK.
