The spot removal tool doesn't work. I select an area to heal, move the sampled area to what I want it look like and nothing happens. The spot is still there. I've reset the tool, tried clone and heal, spots remain.

First suggestion- Check the Opacity slider is at 100.

Note-the sampled area circle only appears for the 'Clone' mode.

True and correct.!   My brain fag. Thanks Bob

Re the Spot Healing brush-

Just opened CC2015.9  and my Spot Healing Brush will only leave a "Pin" when I drag the mouse on part of the image. If I just click the mouse (as I would on sensor dust spots) it leaves a circle (hard to see on detailed images)

Bob- why am I not seeing a pin for each mouse click? Has this changed, or again "Brain fag"?
