P: Healing brush pixel artifacts

I am experiencing the same issue and tried all the suggestions, but nothing works. The artifacts only disappear when zoomed in to 33% and above.

Glad to hear @CShubert. Thanks!

You can upload to any service you use, or depending on size email to me: shubert@adobe.com

Thank you,

@CShubert sorry I missed the last sentence of your reply. Settings are below. Seems I can't attach a PSD to this message. How would you like me to send it?

Mode: Normal

Source: Sampled

Aligned: true

Use legacy: false

Sample: Current & Below

Ignore Adjustment Layers: false

Brush Angle: 0

Brush Pressure: false

Diffusion: 5

Size: 250px

Hardness: 100%

Spacing: 25%

Angle: 0

Roundness: 100%

Size: Off

Not a problem @CShubert I appreciate the help. To answer your questions, yes it appears in exported files (see attached), and it occurs regardless of whether I use the healing brush on the pixel layer or on another layer with Sample set to Current & Below or All Layers.

Sorry for the confusion @shalanandpaul the team was wondering if these artifacts show up on a printed page or when eported? If so, that would rule out GPU etc as an problem.  Are you healing over existing pixels or on a new, empty layer (with sample all layers enabled)?

Would it be possible to share the .psd with the team?  Also, could you share the exact settings, ie sample and diffusion settings, of the healing brush?

Thank you,

Cory

@CShubert 

Thanks for the link however, these instructions are intended for situations where their customer installed this plugin. This isn't a plug-in that I installed. It's location inside the app bundle suggests it ships as part of Photoshop.

Here is what they suggest:

@CShubert That plugin is located inside the Photoshop app bundle. How would you suggest disabling it?
