Hi guys,

lately I've been trying to use the spot healing brush tool but I can't cause in the option bar I can't find "sample: All layers" but when I selected the healing brush tool I see everything. if anyone can tell how to get everything on the option bar when working with the spot healing brush tool I'd appreciate it. Thank you.

You have the narrow Toolbar option checked in Edit > Preferences > Workspace. You should uncheck it and restart Photoshop.

Otherwise "Sample All Layers" is the button on the right, instead of a checkbox.
