P: Include Healing in Develop Presets

Lightroom Classic does not seem to allow making a develop preset for healing.  This would be HUGELY beneficial when dust spotting multiple images.  If there is a way and I've missed it, please let me know.  Otherwise, consider this a request for a very helpful improvement.

Hello! i have some red dots in my sensor due to a laser light, i can remove them with the remove tool in lightroom, and if i copy (ctr+shift +c) on the image and paste on the next image it removes the dots perfectly, but i want to make a preset so i can apply this presets on every image with a click, the problem is that when i copy the settings i can select remove ( example image) but if i want to make a preset remove is not there to select it (example image), is there a way to create a preset of the remove tool? thanks in advance!

"is there a way to create a preset of the remove tool?"

 

Unfortunately not. Copying/syncing is your only option.

Lightroom should not copy the healing source at all. It should only copy the destination, and calculate the source for each image individually. The only situation where this might be different is if all images are the same, for example in a time lapse series.

@Sean McCormack @GoldingD 

Copying/syncing Healing from a photo to others is a terrible idea since Lr doesn't copy the selected source of the Healing (Clone and Heal) correctly across photos.

Only @johnrellis  "Copy Settings" plug-in copies/syncs healing correctly...a plug-in that I recommend everyone to buy BTW!

 

Speaking of presets I fear that even if we could preset Healing the only usable Healing tool, without bugs, would be Content Aware.

(FWIW even presets that contain Brush or Gradients are applied incorrectly if they have been created in another crop)

 

I am totally in favor of Presetting Healing but it would only work for CA.

Definitely as designed. There's too much chance for people to forget that healing is in the preset and ending up with a mess. @GoldingD has the way that Adobe intended for short term batch healing-that or Auto Sync. Auto Sync is a bit intensive for larger photo numbers though.

Select Copy, in that select healing, select other or multiple images, paste that in.
