Healing tool on smart object

[guillermosh]

If I use the heal tool on a smart object layer and for some reason need to go back and adjust the smart object settings, the whole image shows where the healing tool was used. I use a layer over the smart object for the heal tool.

I've moved this from the Using the Community forum (which is the forum for issues using the forums) to the Photoshop forum so that proper help can be offered.

OK. Do I need to repost my question?

No, I moved it to the proper forum.

That seems as expected. 

Why don’t you do the touchup in the Smart Object?

Are the Smart Objects placed RAW images or placed/converted plain pixel content?
