In this day and age is there any need to cycle between the two tools? 🙂 Can we just use alt when using the spot healing brush to turn it into the healing brush?
Many thanks for your reply, I was working late so was very tired and had a crash so was reporting a bug and got distracted and then remembered it was something I wanted to mention for a long time. I must've checked the wrong box but it is indeed a feature request.
To explain as best I can:
I use photoshop primarily for photo restoration and graphic design. When for instance, I'm restoring an image, I cycle between the clone stamp tool, the spot healing brush and the regular healing brush tools primarily, to get the job done.
I use keyboard shortcuts to select tools mostly but as I work between both the regular and the spot healing brush, I wish that instead of cycling between two tools that they were combined as one.
My thoughts are that if they were combined as one tool, you could use the spot healing brush as normal and then hold Alt (and maybe another key or click option) to turn it into the regular healing brush tool.
Maybe I'm missing a trick here and it wouldn't work in practice and it would only really save 0.000000047383 seconds in our day to save cycling through tools but something to consider maybe?
Many thanks and lots of appreciation to the entire Adobe team, I'm a longstanding Photoshop user and it's only improving as the years have gone on. Well done on excellent work!
Hope you and your team are getting to wind down for the holidays and that you have a lovely break!
Thank you @JacsieB for your excellent layout of how you would like this to work. We will be happy to pass it on to the team for them to consider, and the more votes this idea gets here will help the odds that it might happen.
Due to the difference in the workflow we are not sure this would be possible as the Healing brush requires a source point where the Spot Healing bursh does not, but it might be possible, we will have to see.
