PS Tool Difference

I am having difficulty in determining what the difference is between the
healing brush and the clone stamp tool even after reading the
explanations from a number of sources.
Additionally, does anyone know how and when to choose which of these
tools to use when editing photographs. One of the things I need to do
is remove shadows around people due to lack of bounce flash.

This is exactly what I (also) said in both my former two reactions on
this thread Johan. Although, I do appreciate the healing tool as well
and would not talk negatively of it because it get used quite often.
Like you pointed out here, each has it's place. And of course it is
obvious when reading my posts, that I tried to use the healing tool
where I should have used the clone tool.
Thanks for your answer.

Re: PS Tool Difference

I seem to notice the same thing as well.
That is a good idea. I will try it.
Thanks

Re: PS Tool Difference

This appears to be what is happening. And you can also adjust the
spacing and hardness with the healing brush as well.

No, of course not. So for such a task you shouldn't use the healing
brush, because that would be the wrong tool for the job. That's what the
clone tool is for. You don't use a hammer to drive in screws either, but
that doesn't mean a hammer is not a useful tool.

what I am talking about, is when replacing existing colour with a
colour completely in contrast, like for instance stretching the
green grass over what have been bricks, or ground etc.
Then of course, you do not want the underlying pixels
having a effect on the *new* colour.

Re: PS Tool Difference

Pretty obvious that this isn't the answer! What's the use of taking the
healing brush and then making it NOT work correctly because you've
removed the underlying pixels before? In my view the healing brush is at
least as powerful as the clone tool, but you do have to know how to use
it, and removing pixels first is certainly not the way.

Re: PS Tool Difference

All this makes the clone tool seem to be (in most cases)
a better option. Sometimes I start by using a selection tool
and delete what's in it, before cloning with the healing tool,
because it is obvious that the original colour has an effect.
And even that is sometimes not the answer.

Re: PS Tool Difference

The difference is easy. The clone tool replaces the pixels, period. The
healing brush replaces the pixels, but then it looks at the color and
brightness of the area it just replaced, and changes the new pixels to
match that. That is what you really see happening. As long as you are
painting and keep the mouse down, it is like you used the clone tool.
But then, shortly after you've let go of the mouse, the cloned area
changes color and brightness to match what was there.

Re: PS Tool Difference

I work with alot of human subjects in my Photoshop projects and have worked
with both the healing tool and clone tool a great deal. If you are looking
for a more realistic blend/touchup then the healing tool is the better
choice. It merges much better with the surrounding pixels and gives a
better match on the texture. The clone tool gives more of an appearance of
being "painted". I suggest you make 2 test layers on a picture and try
them both out. I think you will see the difference. The key to working
with skin is don't try to do it in 1 single swipe. I set the opacity of the
tools low, 10-15%, and gradually build on a layer copy of the area I want
to fix. That way you have the gradual building from the tool and the
flexibility of opacity in the actual cover layer.

Re: PS Tool Difference

I do not understand the difference. If the Clone Stamp replaces
"pixels" that should include all of the texture as well as everything
else. On the surface it appears the Healing Brush does the same but you
can vary hardness, angle and spacing. the difference is still very fuzzy.
