It would be great to have a unique symbol for each the Healing Brush and the Spot Healing Brush Tool to be able to recognize immediately which one has been selected  when toggling tools via shortcut J (compare Patch Tool etc). This way checking the toolbar could be spared.

    I agree, the cursor should be different, Voted. And on Marta's suggestion too!

      Thank you. Yes, I know that. However, when the tool is selected to retouch
      a photo, the tip/cursor/pointer forms a circle for both kinds of healing
      brushes. I have to look at the toolbar to see which one it is.

        The Spot Healing Brush Tool has a small dotted half circle on the icon, but admittedly it can be hard to see at times.
