P: Healing Brush Problems - White Outline

Not all the Photoshop employees post here. So one of the researchers might have narrowed down the problem (and that does sound like a couple of our engineers), but not yet notified the folks that do post here.

I have an ATI Radeon card on my PC and I still have the issue, so it's not just Nvidia.

Not sure how legit this is but someone called 'phostershop' over on reddit posted this: 'Yes! This is a known issue and we are actively working on a fix. The root of the bug seems to stem from a workflow where users apply the healing brush to a transparent layer, and are sampling from the 'current layer and below'. As a workaround, try duplicating the region you are looking to heal and modify it directly. Apologies for the bug - it's a doozy and, like I said, we're working on fixing it.'

If that really is an Adobe employee it is disappointing that it wasn't posted here.

Fortunately a few online magazines and bloggers seem to be posting this issue now, maybe that will speed things up a little...

I'm guessing Adobe will take the stance they usually do and blame Apple and never fix the issue...

The above comment was originally removed with the reason: off topic, except it's related reply to an on topic comment. The truth hurts sometimes, perhaps if you fixed the issues, the people who pay your salaries wouldn't feel the need to reveal your downfalls.

Yeh its not fun when the parents fight, the children cop it for no reason.

I suspect this is some internal issue between Nvidia and Apple thats to blame. On the Nvidia website there is no listing even for the graphics card that comes standard in a 27" 2013 Mac on their driver support page. What is mysterious is that I bootcamp windows and when using certain programs I get an error message saying that there is a more recent driver and to check the support site. But when I use software update in Mac -no update is there, also when I scan using Geforce experience on Windows, same deal. Yet there is a more recent driver. I've managed to find the driver via ferreting through forums and attempted to update on the windows side which seemed to install, yet Im still getting the message pop up when running Windows programs. So perhaps the computer needs to be updated on the mac portion to be working for the bootcamp PC portion, which means I'm back to square one waiting for Apple to sort out a new Nvidia driver for the graphics card. So I guess Ill just have to put all my work on hold till Nvidia, Apple and Adobe decide to sort out their iss yooooowz.

It does blend and it doesn't work like the clone tool. But it sprays white pixels around the edges of long strokes.

I'm really pissed! The healing brush acts just like the clone tool now.  It doesn't blend anything like it used to. What gives???

Wow, 7 days and it's still not fixed? A hotfix should have been deployed within 24 hours... I know how much Adobe values their customers and quality now. Good thing I'm still on my subscription trial.
