GMetrix Photoshop Practice Test

For removing small blemishes, you want a tool that automatically blends the painted area with nearby pixels. The Spot Healing Brush is designed for this exact task. As you brush, it samples textures, colors, and shading from the surrounding area and applies a seamless blend, so tiny imperfections disappear with a natural look without needing to pick a source point. Other options exist for more manual control. The Healing Brush needs you to designate a source area, which gives precise control but requires more steps. The Patch Tool is better for larger, broader areas where you want to replace a section with another patch. The Clone Stamp copies exact pixels from a chosen source, which can look obvious if not carefully blended since it doesn’t automatically match surrounding texture or shading. So for quick, small blemish removal that blends automatically with the surroundings, the Spot Healing Brush is the best choice.
