Healing Brush (texture)

[clonkel]

I am watching a video where the person says that the healing brush is concerned with textures and not colour.

 

I am unsure what texture means in an image as they are just coloured pixels and I thought that texture is more 3D.

 

Thank you

Hi Clonkel, 

This just means texture in the non computing sense of the word, ie the texture of a wall can be rough or smooth. Applying this means it will use more of the detail than the colour of the content.

Thank you Lee

 

So if a wall 'looks' rough and you use the healing brush on part of the wall that is 'smooth' then that would be wrong as the illusion of rough would transfer to the smooth (even though they are just coloured pixels)?

It won't ignore the colour of it's source, but it favours the texture, so you could, in a common use case, replace a spot on some skin, by using some smooth skin texture from another area of the face.
