Spot Healing Brush Tool Making Unwanted Healing Lines

I'm using Photoshop 2019 and a wacom tablet. I was cleaning an image scan from 35mm film. There were some scratches on the image so I used the SHIFT+ the Spot Healing Brush tool to clean the scratch lines. It was working fine where I could clean spots and then clean lines. Now the tool makes healing lines on the image. It won't just clean spots. I tried reseting Photoshop preferences, the tool presets, and Wacom but it still is creating healing lines.

Anyone know the magic formula to fix this?

Check the toolbar underneath the menu bar. Is the Type perhaps set to 'Create Texture'? Set it to 'Content-Aware'.

Hello,

I can't use the spot healing no more about this unwanted line that change other unwanted parties:

I am really unable to use Photoshop now!

In order to see the Healing Lines you referred to, please post a sample along with the Options bar and Layers panel.

But first, try the correction without the Shift key. Then check out this site: How to Super-Charge the Spot Healing Brush Tool in Photoshop
