Question

Healing brush tool creates (unwanted) white outline

Yesterday i started getting white outlines when using the Healing brush tool in Photoshop. I've changed multiple settings; including bitrate and RGB/CMYK. I just updated my Photoshop but the probleem seems to still be an issue.

 

The attached files are my settings and a video of the problem.

    You seem to be misusing the Healing Brush Tool, you may want to use the Clone Stamp Tool when extending a Layer’s content into the transparent regions. 

    You could also try »Current & Below« but I think that is not what you want.

      I've used the healing brush tool like this for quite a while now and it works fenomenal.  The clone stamp tool creates unblended edges which i would have to edit later on to look like the exact output of what the healing brush tool used to be (without the white borders).

       

      Besides how or how not to use the tool, it still shouldn't have the white edges right?

        I just tested with the oldest Photoshop version I still have installed (CC 2017) and the Tool does not seem to work differently there.

        Tweaking the healing brush settings like mode, aligned and diffusion didn't seem to solve the issue.
