Photoshop is asking you to define the point about which "good" pixels will be sampled to heal the "bad" pixels which you will paint over with the Healing Brush Tool. All you have to do is hold down the Option key (Alt key on Windows) and click the mouse to define this source point. Once done, simply drag the mouse over areas you want to heal.

Hi there,

 

Sorry that you're getting an error message while using the Healing brush tool in Photoshop. 

 

Which version of Photoshop are you using and what is your operating system?

 

Would you mind checking out the steps mentioned in this discussion https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop/error-message-when-attempting-to-use-alt-click-to-define-a-source-point-to-be-used-to-repair-the/td-p/10190779?page=1 and let us know if that helps?

 

Thanks,

Akash
