Enter <strong>Spot Healing Brush Tool<\/strong>. This incredibly powerful tool helps with all of the cleanup work that your photo may need. The Spot Healing Brush is the perfect solution to fix almost any imperfections or distracting elements in your photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the Spot Healing Brush Tool?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Spot Healing Brush in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/abphprel22.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Photoshop <\/a>has gotten significantly better over the years in replacing undesired objects. You can use the Spot Heal for things as simple as dust or water spots that you didn\u2019t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/faq-how-to-clean-camera-lenses\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">clean off your lens<\/a>, or as complicated as removing a whole person from the background. In this guide, you\u2019ll learn everything you need to know to effectively use the Spot Healing Brush Tool to clean up your images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, let\u2019s set some expectations. The Spot Healing Brush corrects minor imperfections and blemishes, as well as dust spots. You can also use it to remove small objects from your photo. The smaller the object you remove, the better the likelihood that the Spot Healing Brush does it in a seamless way. Removing things from your photo also works better on parts of the image with a low amount of detail \u2014 such as the sky or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/tips-beginner-ocean-photography\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ocean<\/a>. Luckily, it is very easy to try the Spot Healing Brush, then remove your adjustment if it doesn\u2019t work effectively. After all, we are looking for a seamless fix so that our viewer can&#8217;t tell that you\u2019ve made an adjustment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Use the Spot Healing Brush<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Spot Healing Brush is located in Photoshop. You\u2019ll need to open up your image in the software.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is best to use the Spot Healing Brush at the beginning or end of your editing process. This is because, even though you can create a new layer for the changes, the Spot Healing Brush tool is somewhat destructive on the layers of the image. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since you\u2019ll be replacing actual pixels, you\u2019ll have to re-do all of the spot healing if you wish to change a layer below the spot heal. For this reason, it is usually ideal to do the healing first. Although, you may also do it at the end if you don\u2019t see all of the blemishes you\u2019d like to remove at the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create a New Layer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>First, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/how-to-make-a-layer-mask-in-photoshop\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">create a new layer<\/a>. You can do this by selecting the button to&nbsp;<em>Create a New Layer<\/em>&nbsp;on the bottom right side of the screen (next to the trash can). Once you\u2019ve created a new blank layer, select the Spot Healing Brush. It should be somewhere in the toolbar (on the left side of the screen, by default). You can also press \u201cJ\u201d on the keyboard to instantly bring up the Spot Healing Brush Tool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"41\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86044\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/1-2-300x12.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adjust Toolbar Settings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once selected, you will see these options appear in the toolbar settings menu located on the top of the screen. Be sure that <em>Sample All Layers<\/em> is checked. For almost any application of the Spot Healing Brush, you\u2019ll want to set the mode to<em> Normal<\/em>, and the type to <em>Content Aware<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The brush angle does not matter as long as you are using a perfectly round brush (you are, unless you\u2019ve uploaded your own brush shapes for the Healing Brush). Later in this post, I\u2019ll explain when you\u2019d want to use some of the other options but, for now, let\u2019s keep going with these settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"633\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86045\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2-1.png 500w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/2-1-237x300.png 237w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Adjust the Size of the Brush<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Open the Spot Healing Brush size settings by clicking the small dropdown arrow. Having a hardness of 50% and a spacing of 25% works great for most images. Make sure the roundness is set to 100% for a perfectly round brush. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can adjust the size of the brush depending on what you are trying to remove in your photo. It is best to adjust the size so that you are just large enough to remove the imperfection, but not any larger. If you\u2019re curious about when you would want to use a different hardness or spacing, I\u2019ll detail that later in this post. Most of the time, these are going to be the settings you will use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start to Retouch<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>With the Spot Healing Brush selected, you can now start to retouch your image. In this example, I\u2019ll be retouching a couple dust spots, and a few distracting elements that I don\u2019t want in my final edit. If you are removing a large area, you can click and drag to retouch your photo. If you are removing something small like a dust spot, usually a single click will get the job done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"666\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/3-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86047\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/3-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/3-1-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check Your Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to zoom in before making any adjustments, you can do so by hitting Command\/+ on Mac, or Control\/+ on PC. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86048\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/4-1-300x158.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86049\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/5.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/5-300x179.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s it! Adjusting the size of the Spot Healing Brush can help you to remove many different shapes and sizes of objects.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>More Tips for Using the Spot Healing Brush<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Try Again<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The spot healing brush doesn&#8217;t always work well on the first try. You can try clicking on the part of the photo that you wish to remove again to see if it does a better job. Oftentimes, I\u2019ll click on a spot many times to see a different result from the Spot Healing Brush until I find my desired result. However, sometimes you will not be able to remove objects with the Spot Healing Brush. As you practice using this tool, you\u2019ll learn its limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Before Spot Healing Brush (see bottom right corner)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"665\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/6-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/6-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/6-1-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">After Spot Healing Brush<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86052\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-1.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/7-1-300x200.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use in Moderation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Too much use of the Spot Healing Brush can ruin your photo. Be careful with how much you are using it. Always be sure to keep checking your image for seamless adjustments. Remember, you don\u2019t want your viewer to be able to tell that you removed something from your photo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Use the Smallest Brush Possible<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The smaller the brush, the less of your photo you are actually going to be retouching. The more precise you are with selecting the spots to be retouched, the better the image will look in the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/8.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86053\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/8.png 1000w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/8-300x158.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When Should I Adjust the Settings of the Spot Healing Brush?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While we have just been using one version of the Spot Healing Brush, there are a few other options that you can use. The settings outlined above will work for almost any adjustment you need to make. Although, for those photographers who wish to know more about some of the other settings, read on&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Mode<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Spot Healing Brush comes with different modes ranging from <em>Normal<\/em>, to things like <em>Multiply<\/em>, <em>Screen<\/em>, <em>Color<\/em>, or <em>Luminosity<\/em>. All of these modes do slightly different things. Essentially, they tell Photoshop how to have the new pixels blend with the existing pixels. However, it is unlikely that you\u2019ll ever need to use any of these modes to retouch your images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Type<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Content Aware<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Usually, Content Aware will be the best option for your spot healing needs. This version of the Spot Healing Brush automatically looks at your photo and allows Photoshop to decide what pixels should replace the ones you wish to heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#eaeaea\">You can learn more at <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/content-aware-scale\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">How to Use the Content Aware Scale in Photoshop<\/a><\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create Texture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you use the Create Texture Spot Healing Brush, Photoshop will create a pattern of the pixels in the same proximity of the photo that you want to replace. This can work really well for textured patterns that need to realign perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Proximity Match<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Proximity Match looks at the pixels just outside of the area you are healing to find matching pixels to replace. This version of the Spot Healing Brush works well when you are spot healing a smaller area that looks perfectly similar to the areas around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Other Settings<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Spacing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Adjusting the spacing option allows you to control how smooth the brush appears when you click and drag. At 25% it will work perfectly for most images. At 0%, the brush will be as smooth as possible. At 1,000% spacing, the Spot Healing Brush will have spread out spots, even when you click and drag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Angle\/Roundness<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The angle and roundness settings allow you to reshape the brush. At 100% roundness, the brush is a perfect circle. However, reducing the roundness will change the shape of the brush, and then adjusting the angle will change the way the oval will be rotated. This can be useful for certain spot removals. For the most part, you won\u2019t use these settings very often.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/9-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86054\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/9-1.png 500w, https:\/\/www.adorama.com\/alc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/9-1-266x300.png 266w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Spot Healing is a very important step that you should be doing in your post-processing.
