Hey all, I'm new. I joined because I CANNOT figure out wtf is wrong with my healing brush.
I'm using it to get rid of wrinkles on a portrait - no big deal, have done 1000 times, etc. I'm working on a blank layer with "current and below" selected (I find it's much easier to refine/correct on a blank layer than duplicating the background layer, then you can manipulate/liquify/whatever blocks of color without worrying about the pixels around them). Everything was going fine for about 20mins, then suddenly the brush started leaving these dark HARD halos WAY around it on certain parts of the image. Checked my settings to see if I'd accidentally hit a button - nope, it's still at hardness 0% and flow 25%, normal, sampled, etc. I hadn't changed ANYTHING. Tried different areas of the image and it looked normal, so I thought it had something to do with the area I was sampling and tried different areas, different brush sizes, etc. Made no difference. I tried duplicating the background layer and using the healing brush on that spot - voila, works completely normally, but if I try to do it on my separate blank layer with current and below or all layers selected, it keeps doing this weird halo thing! UGH!! Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong with it? Picture attached to show what it's doing. Those dark pictures are a MUCH wider radius than the actual brush size, even taking the feathering into account!!
Thank you guys in advance
