What features does the Healing Brush tool provide?

The Healing Brush tool is specifically designed to repair imperfections in images by blending a selected area with the surrounding pixels. When you use this tool, it samples texture, lighting, and shading from the source area and applies it to the area you want to heal. This results in a seamless transition that conceals problems such as blemishes, scratches, or unwanted artifacts, making it an essential feature for photo retouching.

The tool effectively assesses the texture and color of the surrounding pixels, ensuring that the modifications blend naturally into the overall image. This capability to integrate selected areas with the surroundings distinguishes the Healing Brush from other editing tools.
