Healing With Pressure

 

If you’re using a Wacom tablet and wireless pen with Photoshop, you’ve probably already uncovered the secret hiding place where Adobe tucked the pressure sensitivity controls. (Hint: They’re in the Brushes palette.) But if you want to use pressure sensitivity with the Healing Brush, it’s in a totally different spot. To turn it on, press Shift-J until you have the Healing Brush tool, then in the Options Bar, click directly on the Brush thumbnail, and a menu will pop up (it’s not the standard Brush Picker). At the bottom of the menu, you’ll see a Size pop-up menu, where you can choose Pen Pressure.

Create A Composite Layer

If you have a multilayer composition and you
want to apply an effect to all the layers at once, don’t flatten the layers–use a composite layer instead. Hide the layers you want excluded, and press Shift-Command-Option-E (PC: Shift-Ctrl-Alt-E). A new layer will be created at the top containing a merged copy of all the visible layers.

Another option is to create a new layer at the top of the stack and make it active. Command-click (PC: Ctrl-click) each layer you want to include to make those layers active, as well. Press Option-Command-E (PC: Alt-Ctrl-E).
