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?

You are applying the Tool on transparent areas while set to »Current Layer« – that is not what the Tool is intended for so the result does not seem completely surprising.

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