Variation of the Healing Brush Tool?

[cliffk55738902]

Does Photoshop Elements 14 have a variaton of the healing brush tool that can remove several dust particles from a photograph, for example, all in one step?

While individual particles can be easily removed one at a time with the healing brush tool, I would like to remove all of them at once to speed up the process.

Perhaps there is a tool that can perform this function after a typical sample of the dust particle is taken and then applied to similiar other spots of visual noise within the photograph.

Thanks for any tips.

No but you could use Content Aware Fill to do that.

Make your selections around the dust spots and then go to Edit>Fill Selection>Content Aware

1. For example i made selections using the Elliptical Marquee Tool, drawing the first selection then adding the Shift key to make  additional selections.

2. Then used Edit>Fill Selection>Content Aware Fill

3. Then Select>Deselect

Before

Make selections

Edit>Fill Selection>Content Aware

After with Select>Deselect

Thanks so much, Jeff, for the alternative method and illustrations.

I've begun to use this method and it works quickly.

Thanks again.
