P: Healing tool in legacy mode.

[dianer_macperson]

In photoshop beta the healing brush tool in legacy mode is not working at all. It works fine when legacy is unchecked.  It works fine in non-beta photoshop. 

mac os. 12.17.4

photoshop beta v 25.11.0

Hi @dianer_macperson 

Try resetting Prefs for the Beta:
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/ Photoshop Beta Settings (Mac Ventura)
/Users/yourname/Library/Preferences/Adobe\ Photoshop\ \(Beta\)\ Settings (Mac)


C:\Users\user name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop (Beta)\Adobe Photoshop (Beta) Settings

Launch BETA Photoshop While Pressing The Keyboard Shortcut
With Photoshop closed, press and hold Shift+Ctrl+Alt (Win) / Shift+Command+Option (Mac) on your keyboard and then Launch Photoshop the way you normally would.

Same problem! But now it is observed in Photoshop 25.11 Release (in newer betas the problem is not fixed). The latest version where the Healing Brush in legacy mode works properly is 25.9.1

Please fix this in the new versions.

In photoshop (photoshop v 25.11.0),  healing brush tool in legacy mode is not working at all. It works fine when legacy is unchecked.  
It works fine in older versions in photoshop. 

photoshop v 25.9.1

This has been a problem in the last couple of versions of the beta. I need both the versions of the healing tool.  This needs fixed!

Yes same with Photoshop V 25.12

[dianer_macperson]

photoshop Beta 25.12 legacy brush works only on my newer mac mini with the M1 chip running system Sonoma 14.5. 

My older work mac with Beta 25.12 and system software monterey 12.7.5 it does not work with.

unfortunatly I cannot upgrade my system software further on this work machine with the new system software.

I'm having the same issue, are there any updates about this?

[Daniela Póvoa]

Não aparece para mim essa versão disponível... a 25.12 ... apenas a 25.11 ... e também estou tendo problema com o Helling Brush com Use Legacy ativado. É a ferramenta que mais utilizo nas minhas edições, alguma coisa que posso fazer?
