Brush tool. The selection should be bigger than the area you want to heal but should precisely follow the boundary
of contrasting pixels. When you paint with the Healing Brush tool, the selection prevents colors from bleeding in from

Retouch with the Spot Healing Brush tool
The Spot Healing Brush tool quickly removes blemishes and other imperfections in your photos. The Spot Healing
Brush works similarly to the Healing Brush: it paints with sampled pixels from an image or pattern and matches the
texture, lighting, transparency, and shading of the sampled pixels to the pixels being healed. Unlike the Healing
Brush, the Spot Healing Brush doesn't require you to specify a sample spot. The Spot Healing Brush automatically
