P: Healing Brush Tool "Use Legacy" does not work in PS 25.11 on MAC

A ferramenta "Healing Brush Tool" com "Use Legacy" ativado está com um BUG muito estranho. Quando a imagem está "Flat", apenas com uma camada, ela funciona corretamente. Mas se você duplicar a camada, ao usar a ferramenta, ela funciona de um modo estranho, criando um círculo com bordas bem duras e muito maior que o tamanho atual da ferramenta. Por favor, alguém ajusta isso, é a ferramenta que mais uso e está me causando um transtorno enorme no meu fluxo de trabalho. Eu NÃO GOSTO DE MANEIRA ALGUMA do Healing Brush com o "Use Legacy" desativado, prefiro muito mais ele ativado. Só uso ele desativado quando tem algo com cor muito diferente próximo. HELP!!!!!

    Great, they released the 25.12.1 update and STILL haven't fixed the issue with the legacy healing tool. I guess it's just to force us to use 26 (which is buggy, by the way).

    let's make sure youre system supports this fully:

    Since the recent update, the healing brush behaves strangely and invariably crashes an application after two or three uses (even with the crash report box open) when I try to use it in a document with several layers (legacy mode only). In some way, it seems to splash pixels around areas that are larger than it is, then a small cross appears before crashing. Has anyone noticed this?

    Why are you forcing us to use Beta? My healing brush suddenly stopped working today minus any updates. What is the problem? Never had a problem with this tool in this version of photoshop until today out of the blue. 

    I don't want to use Beta as the privacy laws are different!!!!

      Why the fix is still only in Beta? We all need it in proper PS finally!!!

        After update to latest stable version tool is working, but the results are inaccurate. I guess Adobe push Photoshop away from retouchers, towards something else, idk.

          I have last version of photoshop and when i want to use the old healing brush, it only work properly if Im using one layer. Whenever i used two layers or more, healing brush is behaving like with 100 hard edges - more sort of clone tool if you put actual layer, when you switch to all layers it doesnt do anything.

            Select all of your layers and then Ctrl-alt-shift-E will create a flattened layer (without affecting the other layers) on top that can be used to heal.

            Yes, I know. I'm using PS2023 for retouching, but this is not a solution for long term, cause there are few good features in PS2024. But it's unusable right now because of one of most important tool doesn't work. I could expect someone could fix it already, restore previous version at least. But it seems like no one cares about retochers.

              One or two month is a long time when you work everyday in the business. And the beta have color problems that make a retouching workflow unusable. The problem exists since july. so that means that the industry have to wait to half a year to have a version that works again? Come on but that couldn't be the goal...

              Healing brush is one of the most used things in fast retouching and they killed it in one version. It's not one of this fancy stuff what's going on that you eventually use.
              They are working more and more against the industry with their decisions what I can handle but essential tools have to work flawlessly.

                Cory Shubert considered problem solved: use beta.
                Even if you can't, don't want or beta doesn't suit you because of many other bugs.
                Why bother fixing bugs, when in month or two there will be a next version of Photoshop?
