A ferramenta "Healing Brush Tool" com "Use Legacy" ativado está com um BUG muito estranho. Quando a imagem está "Flat", apenas com uma camada, ela funciona corretamente. Mas se você duplicar a camada, ao usar a ferramenta, ela funciona de um modo estranho, criando um círculo com bordas bem duras e muito maior que o tamanho atual da ferramenta. Por favor, alguém ajusta isso, é a ferramenta que mais uso e está me causando um transtorno enorme no meu fluxo de trabalho. Eu NÃO GOSTO DE MANEIRA ALGUMA do Healing Brush com o "Use Legacy" desativado, prefiro muito mais ele ativado. Só uso ele desativado quando tem algo com cor muito diferente próximo. HELP!!!!!

What happened was very frustrating, yesterday after an hour with a patient agent trying in every way to resolve this healing malfunction, checking and unchecking several checkboxes in the advanced settings with no solution, he suggested that I do a chat with advanced specialists. After 3 chats with 3 experts working on the machine remotely, one of them had the courage to tell me that the best way to fix the CCD dirt spots would be to use another tool. Let's face it, the tool worked perfectly in previous versions, why now after so much evolution are we seeing so many problems? There is no point in advancing with generative or artificial intelligence tools and giving up the basic functionalities that were perfect. I hope Adobe can resolve this issue as soon as possible in the next update. Let it be quick.

Same problem here.

In the last update, the healing brush in legacy mode doesn't work with current & below settings.

So frustrating.

Recently, and fairly out of the blue, my Healing Brush stopped blending. I usually work on an empty layer (sampling 'current and below'), using the Healing Brush Legacy option.

At the moment, my Healing Brush seems to pick up mostly only texture (kind of like a High Pass filter), and not blending at all with whatever is underneath, like a Clone Stamp.

I have tried resetting all settings to default from the Photoshop preferences, but it didn't make any difference.

I have restarted Photoshop, the whole computer, changed files. Nada.

What am I missing? Is this a bug? Do I need to change my Healing Brush legacy settings anywhere? Anyone else encountered the same issues?

I use the Healing Brush for hours a day and it's driving me crazy!!

Thank you in advance.

(Re-posting since Adobe can't seem to transfer my Community activity from my company account to my personal account.)

I updated to 25.11.0 yesterday morning and since doing so the healing brush (NOT the spot healing brush) does not work on my multi layered files when using the legacy algorithm set to sample Current & Below.

I have seen the many issues people have with the tool and the offered solution is to make sure it's being used on the right layer, but that is not my issue.

Please fix.
Thanks!

After last update, when I try to use a healing brush (legacy mode only) in a document with more than one layer, it behave quite strange and after two or three usings always crashes an app (without crash report window, even enabled). It somehow like splashes pixels around area beyond its size.....and than a little cross appears....and crash. Did you someone observe this?

The healing brush tool does not work on an empty layer.

The healing brush tool is set on "Current and Below" and it works in normal mode, but the Legacy mode(which is the superior mode) doesn't work.

It is very very important for retouching so please fix this as soon as possible!

So again what I need:

Empty layer above the Background layer

The Healing Brush is set on Legacy Mode and Current and Below mode

It should work, but it doesn't work in the latest version!

This is a confirmed bug in the Photoshop 25.11 release.

Hopefully will be fixed in the next point release, but in the meantime if that is critical to your work you can uninstall 25.11 and install 25.9.1

It's October, and legacy healing brush still does not work in 25.12 version of Photoshop. How can you manage to broke one of the best and most used tools again?
