P: Bleeding color with Healing Tool

Todd, I think the problem you are now seeing with LrC 9.3's Spot healing tool on the image frame edge is a new issue.

Agreed. A bug report has been submitted and acknowledged by Adobe.

LrC 9.3 fixed another problem with the Spot healing tool on the image frame edge for CR2 files:

Whatever was done in this fix has made Spot healing on the image frame edge very bad for everyone.

I Just had a chance to test this with LR Classic 9.2, 8.2, and 5.7.1 on my Windows 7 system. The Clone and Heal Spot Removal does not exhibit the issue with these versions. LR 9.3 can't be installed on Windows 7 so I can't test it on that system, but on my Windows 10 system LR 9.3 exhibits the issue as expected. It's actually quite bad when you compare it to these earlier versions of LR. Interestingly one user in this post is seeing the issue with LR 9.2, but appears he's using a Mac system. Regardless, LR 9.3 exhibits the issue on both Windows and Mac systems and needs to fixed.

I have the same problem (spot removal tool on previously edited photos gives a complete different result) Image 552 is retouched with version 9.2, images 553/554 are virtual copies with version 9.3 (they needed to have a different aspect ratio before printing). 

Different topic so it belongs in a new thread.

Please reference the new conversation here: Lightroom Classic: Presets Missing after upgrade

Rikk, I'm afraid I have another bug to report, the import preset that I created for each camera I use have all disappeared.  Pretty frustrating.  Please let me know if you are familiar with this bug and if there is a way I can get these back, if not I will start recreating them. Thanks.  Pamina

Thanks. I have the file. 

Hi Rikk,

Here is a link to my example. It's a jpg with settings written to the file. Just import into LrC 9.3, switch to Develop and enable the Spot Removal tool.

If you do the same with Lr 9.2.1, you will see a very different result.

Like I said, I already reverted to version 9.2.  The problem described in detail above by Anthony is identical to what I experienced with version 9.3.  fyi the bleeding with healing tool was very similar to the bleeding you get when a picture is cropped and you use the healing tool on the edge of the frame.  When I made the effort to use healing tool to brush over the area OUTSIDE the frame with uncropped picture in 9.3, as I would do with cropped pictures in prior versions, this would solve the bleeding issue.  This suggests to me that the problem may be that there are pixels outside the uncropped picture in version 9.3.  The bleeding only seems to occur on edges, which also supports this theory.  I have a 16-inch Mac laptop if this could be relevant.  

@pamina Ewing @4772963 Blackett -  can you provide me a raw sample + settings that shows the problem?
