Repair Tool

canon400d · July 3, 2008

Can anyone please tell me where I can find the repair tool on Photoshop CS3. I was doing a photo stack and to get rid of the ghosting I was told to use the clone stamp tool. However, I found this rather tricky and was told to use the repair tool as it was much easier. I have put my cursor over the tool icons but cannot see a repair tool.
Regards
Bob

There is no repair tool. I assume the person meant the healing brush tool. It has a band-aid icon.

The healing tools can be found in the position above the clone stamp tool.

Some tools "hide" behind other tools in the toolbox, this is indicated by the little arrow in the lower right hand corner of some tools - one must click and hold for the hidden tools that live under the visible tool to "fly out" and become visible, if another tool is hiding them by being currently active.

Also, if you hold option on a Mac or alt on a PC and click on the icons in the photoshop toolset, it will cycle between the multiple tools in that spot.

Thanks ever so much Ben. I have tried that tool and wow it is wonderful. I trust it will do the business when I am doing a stack because I am always getting ghosting and it is so frustrating but this tool just could be the answer.
Oh thanks a lot
