Am I the only person who does NOT like the new healing brush tool in PS4?
I hooked up the program over the weekend, and so far, have been resorting back to CS2 to do my skin retouching because I hate the damn healing brush tool in CS4 so much

Pictorian Hatchling  2 posts Joined Jan 2007 Location: Metro Detroit More info | I hate it too. It's the the preview thingy that bugs me either. If that were the case, I'd just turn it off. It used to work beautifully. It worked JUST like the healing brush, except that I chose the source. Now it works more like the clone tool. It doesn't blend as good. It's really touchy about matching highlights and shadows. I'm extremely frustrated with it. I feel your pain. Jennifer, 33, Portrait Junkie The Family Room - Portraiture by Jen

But you have to know when to use the clone stamp, healing brush, or the patch tool. None of them are perfect for everything. But each is great in its own way.
