Running Windows 10. Dell laptop purchased 3 months ago. 16 GB RAM
I am only trying to spot heal a small area about 6 pixels across in an image that is 100 pixels tall and wide. This is not really a memory issue. I have 9.7 GB of free memory according to my task manager.
I tried increasing the memory usage, but it was already set at 10 Gigs of memory. (10069 MB) This did not work.
I reset all preferences. No dice. I reinstalled Photoshop from scratch. No dice.
Spot healing typically works fine even when I had very low system resources. It worked fine earlier today. This has nothing to do with the Memory Usage setting or Scratch Discs, which I can set to my C or D drive, both of which have plenty of gigabytes of memory.
I found articles on adobe forum that discuss earlier versions of photoshop, and they direct me to folders that don't exist for files that do not exist when I search on my computer.
Please provide a remedy. I am trying to get some work done and this is necessary. I am under deadline.
Thank you,
Tony
s this happening with one specific image, or all images?
How big is the image, and what is it's bit depth?
I realize you are discounting scratch space, but if it is not RAM, I'd look more closely and scratch. What size are the Photoshop temp**** files in the root directory of your primary scratch drive? Do you have any orphaned Photoshop temp*** files with old dates clogging up scratch space?
If it is one particular image, a trick that can fix things when a file goes weird on you is to group a

If it is one particular image, a trick that can fix things when a file goes weird on you is to group all the layers, and duplicate to a new document. Note, that while this transports alpha channels, you would lose and work paths.

Something else that occurs to me, what is the brush size you are using with the Spot Healing brush?

Duplicating to a new document worked. Thanks Trevor!

OK, that's cool. I don't know if you had any work paths in the original. Like I said, you can't directly drag or copy to the new document, but if you:
That will do the trick. Or you can make all work paths into shape layers before duplicating. There is probably a more elegant way of copying work paths between document though. (Hmmm I just searched and didn't find one.)

I don't know why this says solved, I haven't seen any solutions and what is marked as correct answer is a question. I'm having this problem. And again I don't see any solution here.

I'm also recieving this message whenever I attempt to use the spot healing brush and I'm not sure how to fix it
