From the online Painting brush strokes help topic:

However, entering "Stabilizer" in the search field doesn't find it.

Not a problem, glad to help!
The only reason I knew about it was because I turned it on one day simply to play with it and soon decided it's not for me!

I'll check...... Yes - it WAS checked and now it isn't! And yes, that corrected the problem. I did not see this covered in any of the documentation. The explanation may be there but for me it is apparently well hidden!
Thank you very much for replying and sharing info! I appreciate it!

Hi @Skitterbug
Did you happen to turn on the stabilizer by any chance?

Yay yes, they are both there Designer and Photo! Thank you!
 
 

Hi A_B_C, HVDB, V_Kyr and rmar,
 
I ended up using the stamp tool which was time consuming but I got the results that I wanted. I didn't have much luck using a paint brush or the fill color feature because for some reason, I apparently didn't have the program set up to allow that action? I don't know..... I watched the suggested video about dust and scratches and gave it a try. The feature worked, sort of but the black wasn't black enough yet and the specks were still there so it was back to "stamping". That did work even if it was slow going.
 
Thank you everyone for replying. I think I'll like this application once I know how to put it to good use. It isn't easy to figure out and even with the tutorials, when something doesn't work as expected, there isn't any info about what the "user" should do (meaning me...).
 
The part I posted in my first query wasn't part of this picture but you can get the idea of how my stamping efforts turned out.
