P: More Photoshop like clone/healing/content aware brushes

Keep in mind that the moderators are the ones who merged the topic repeatedly. That's how we see this feature bloat in the request. Like most projects, it's the policies that are getting in the way here. Like the policy of merging any topics that seem even vaguely related.

It would be rather ironic if, as has been postulated, the sheer scope and no-longer-clear-goal of the feature request is what is keeping it from being "formally" acknowledged by Adobe.

Amen to your Amen... Sebastien has put my frustration much more elequently than I . my main point being is there a need for it ,, if yes add it to the development /roadmap and publicise it or dont ... Adobe has a very dedicated and loyal user base (I am becoming one myself)....

As this whole discussion thread demonstrates there is demand for certain features.. I cannot imagine complete feature convergence between all products that would be absurd right?... people have spent money on LR or PS or elements for that matter or all and somehow want more features in their chosen purchase. likewise Adobe have differenct products with different feature sets to meet market demands,... you pays your money and makes your choices....

The point of my yes/no question was aimed at putting an end to endless discussions about the same point that appear to go unanswered or to that matter diverging points as in the beast that this thread has become...

perhaps the moderators of this should end this dicsussion thread in favour of separating the numerous and varied (some valid) ideas that have been pushed forward...

A trick for stacking: create apart then move closer together (as opposed to trying to create in close). Not a substitute for a better distraction removal tool but may help get you by in the mean time...

Amen

> Question : Dear Adobe... are you going to inprove / add this feature yes or NO.

Question: Dear commenters... are you going to stop being overly dramatic or passive aggressive with respect to a feature request that has ballooned to epic proportions, yes or NO?

A follow up: Dear "software programmers by day", are you going to keep telling Adobe what is easy and not easy to implement, without any knowledge of the actual source code?

A good reason (in my book) why this feature hasn't received "acknowledgement" is how absurdly broad it has become (no thanks to some merging with other topics, what's up with that?). Some want content aware cloning, some want layers and stacking, some want different brush shapes, others want healing mask rotation and mirroring, others free-hand selection, or even healing history. A new sub-request pops up every week, flagged as "the most important thing to add to LR since sliced bread", one that certainly would require "very little development resource".

Just re-split the topic already! At least with soft-proofing or geotagging it's not unreasonable (though not guaranteed) to expect "yes/no/here is our plan" from the developers, but why are you guys expecting an acknowledgement on something that *large*? Maybe (I say maybe) if we had different topics, all with the same "healing brush" *tag* and prefix (say Lightroom: Healing Brush: Rotation and Mirroring") to keep it tidy, Adobe could get a chance to chime-in on what is specific enough. In the "Lightroom: Healing Brush: Content Aware" topic we could eventually see something more official like "huhhh, did you notice how CPU intensive content-aware fill is in PS? how do you expect that to work in a non-destructive, real-time app like LR, especially with lens correction on?!" (not what you would want to hear but helpful nonetheless).

"Ability to stack/layer multiple clones/healing spots".....EXCELLENT idea and from a programming standpoint, that shouldn't be that hard to do. That would alleviate much time and frustration with the photography that I do.

Hi everyone...

Has Adobe actually officially commented on this subject?

Question : Dear Adobe... are you going to inprove / add this feature yes or NO.

If yes then when.

Quite a simple question but one that leaves me thinking that the only strategy that adobe have here (As with other manufacturers naming no names apple) just drip feed enough features in order to drag out revenue lines over many years....

I am new to LR and find the endless requests for this feature quite frustrating as the demand surely demonstrates the need for this apparantly (depending on which comments you read) easy /difficult - absoloutely desperate to have/ not that bothered about it debate.

This topic title says "Lightroom and Camera Raw". There should be a separate topic for "Camera Raw" because users of "Camera Raw" have different needs that Lightroom users (although some needs are the same).

As this is a lightroom forum section, I'm guessing that is why people are talking about cloning/healing/content aware... for lightroom
