ADOBE PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 4.0 165 User Guide Source Sets the source to use for repairing pixels. Sampled uses pixels from the current image. Pattern uses pixels from the pattern you specify in the Pattern palette. Aligned Samples pixels continuously without losing the current sampling point, even if you release the mouse button. Deselect Aligned to continue using the sampled pixels from the initial sampling point each time you stop and resume painting. Sample All Layers Samples data from all visible layers. Deselect Use All Layers to sample only from the active layer. 3 Position the pointer in any open image and Option-click to sample data. Note: If you are sampling from one image and applying to another, both images must be in the same color mode unless one of the images is in Grayscale mode. 4 Drag in the image over the flaw to meld existing data with sampled data. The sampled pixels are melded with the existing pixels each time you release the mouse button. If there is a strong contrast at the edges of the area you want to heal, make a selection before you use the Healing Brush tool. The selection should be bigger than the area you want to heal but should precisely follow the boundary of contrasting pixels. When you paint with the Healing Brush tool, the selection prevents colors from bleeding in from the outside.
