Legacy Healing Brush on Photoshop 25.11.0

Report · Jul 24, 2024

Hi!
I just updated to the latest Photoshop version (25.11.0), and my Legacy Healing Brush is creating jagged borders after brushing. This occurs when I'm working directly on the layer. If I try to use "current & below" on a blank layer, nothing happens—it's like I'm not brushing at all. This is happening with both large and low-resolution files.

I have already reset the Healing Brush tool and my preferences. The standard Healing Brush works fine; this issue only occurs with the legacy version.

Notes: This is happening in different files. All of them are set to 100% opacity and fill, with no holes in the layers, and all blend modes are set to "normal". The Healing Brush blend mode is also set to normal.

I'm running Photoshop on an M1 MBP with macOS Ventura.

Attached images for better understanding.

I can confirm this bug. Just downgraded to 25.9.1 and everything works as expected there ...

I'm using macOS Sonoma 14.5

The gif is a bit small, could you please post a complete screenshot the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Options Bar, …) visible?

Have you reset the Tool yet?

I also can confirm that the legacy healing brush is broken in 25.11.0

Mac Os Ventura 13.6.7

Same problem. Here's a video. I start with Clone Stamp, no problem. Then Spot Healing, no problem (but noticed other issues while working), then finally Healing Brush set to Legacy, Layer and Below. Nothing clones as expected. When I disable Legacy, it works better, but still exibits other issues long term. Think I'm reverting back. I don't have tolerance for basic tools being broken at the expense of adding new stuff I'll never use... mostly because an experienced user could do the same stuff over a decade ago. As usual, I say we are not Beta testers for Adobe, we are the Alpha testers.

How is the Healing Brush at non-legacy insufficient for you?

Confirm, I have the same problem. It came up earlier in Beta version, now it has also appeared in Photoshop 25.11.0. I'm mainly retouching Beauty portraits and I'm forced to switch back to the previous version. This is a very annoying problem.

Can confirm Legacy Healing brush is not working as intended in version 25.11. Overlay shows when a sample is made, but after using the tool, nothing is there. Had to revert back to 25.9.1.

Sorry about the delay. I was on vacation from work and totally off from my computer.

I couldn't find how to attach an txt file in the response so I'll just paste it here.

Hi! I have already reset the Healing tool and my preferences.

I work with high-end fashion retouching and the standard Healing tool is just a quick fix.

The Legacy version is WAY better for skin retouching, giving the best results when working with fine textures mainly.

Personally, I think (and some other users I've seen in the forum agree), it would be better if the Healing and Legacy tools were completely separate, as each has its uses in different situations. The Legacy tool is also faster in my workflow since it always gives the results I want with one stroke, while with the "non-legacy" Healing tool, I need to re-brush a few times since the results on the skin are a little dull or poorly blended.

Requested screenshot below:

hi!

I am having the same issue after the last update v25.11, legacy healing brush is broken. Please fix it fast!

Report · Aug 02, 2024

Confirmed, also experiencing the same issue with legacy healing brush since the lastest upgrade. Windows 11 user.

Hello, I am on the new 25.11. update and on win 11pro64

And I was looking for another issue (pen working strange when trying to move sliders etc.)

But since I use healing a lot. Tried to see if I would get your problem.

But I am not having your issues both legacy and new, work normal but.......

I looked at Catalin's screen shot and on legacy I get the exact type of issue

until I let go and then it blends normal. It only looks like screen grab, in like the preview

before I let go.

Not an answer but may give some clues to someone.

Same issue here since updated to 25.11

Don't blame the users. Every update get more and more bugs. Unaccetable, Adobe...

Report · Aug 10, 2024

Same problem here. I don't find many users online with our problem, on a tool so used there should be forums that talk about it, videos, or even an official communication from Adobe...

Same problem with the Legacy Healing Brush. I need it for skin as well. Hope Adobe fixes this issue and soon!

Hello again, on win 11 pro 64 and PS 25.11.0

And not here to argue with anyone or adobe for that matter, just what I found today

While I do not have a fix for this. after all these post's. I went down the rabbit hole for a while today

And I did a screen share video of this. on how it is working for me.

Spoiler alert the blank layer does not work right. but what I found interesting was on a duplicate

or pixel layer. I was able to get a lot of different results.

And another spoiler alert. there are major differences if you are on a 8bit or 16 bit file.https://youtu.be/CCMPGfMnKVk

I tried to insert video but forum says its private so I inserted link to see if that works.

The legacy tool does not work on my Mac pro with the Quad-Core Intel Xeon E5 (black round shaped mac pro).

It works fine on my M1 mac mini purchased 2 years ago. The same version of photoshop on both macs. I wonder if this has something to do with the processor of the mac? Anyone have any ideas?

The Legacy healing used to work on my mac pro in 25.9 version of photoshop.

also works in version 22.2 before the introduction of the remove tool. I have to switch back to an older version of photoshop to use the legacy healing tool

I am also dealing with this issue in 25.11 with the Legacy Healing Brush. In Mac OS 14.6.1. Please fix fast!

Report · Sep 10, 2024

It's two weeks now...

Same Problem here on a MacBook Pro M3 Max Sonoma 14.6.1 and Photoshop 25.11.0

Absolutely not acceptable!!! Come on Adobe, get your work done. We have to do our work, too!

It's fixed in 25.13. Please upgrade.

Report · Sep 10, 2024

I've searched manually for Updates in the Creative Cloud App and only got a Version 25.12.0. In this Version the bug isn't fixed. There is no Version 25.13.0 available.
